The Tattletale

So my daughter has learned the fine art of tattling. Emily's friend JD likes to run after everyone, and he also tends to be a bit rough. Emily's the oversensitive one, so she really gets upset with JD sometimes.
Well today she figured out that she could go tell JD's mom every time he did something she didn't like and it'd be taken care of. Oyoyoy... This is only the beginning.

Alex is a little monkey these days. God help us when he starts crawling. He kept rolling over to the Christmas tree this morning. And it wasn't even the tree he was after. It was the 2 cats sleeping underneath the tree. I called his name and he whipped his head around, giving me this mischevious little grin. He's gonna be such a stinker.


I have my aunt's funeral to go to tomorrow. She ended up passing away Sunday evening, surrounded by family. My mom and her other sister were there too. Jim's going to take a personal day to stay home with the kids. We both decided we'd rather Emily not go to the funeral, for more than one reason. So my mom and dad will come pick me up in the morning and I'll go in with them. One of my brothers is going, another doesn't deal with funerals well at all, and the other had planned on going but he just got hit by a car this evening while walking down his street. What the hell else is going to happen this week?! My nephew said Wayne went to the hospital for x-rays, but he's walking around and all, so it sounds like he's alright.
