Calendar

Spring break - yay!  Headed to Wisconsin tomorrow for quality time with the grandkids...

Chris is cooking. I am drinking wine.  As it should be.  Reviewing the calendar coming up.  Aunt Janet's memorial coming up.  So strange that she is not here.  I know that cancer takes my family - but it just seems surreal sometimes.

Chris made Chex mix for me to take to Mellisa.  Mom loved this stuff.  She always said it made her swell up like a tick.  Chris made it super salty - which requires much more wine.  God love him.

Alyx is having a rough time lately.  I feel bad for her.  She is a vocal chica and certainly doesn't let her feelings unknown.  I guess she made a girl cry after the girl rolled her eyes at her and Alyx called her out on it.  So - her friends went skating without her on Friday.  She was super upset.  Her best friend since 2nd grade was really bitchy about it.  How do we know?  ONe of the friends forwarded all of the group text messages to Alyx.  Crap.  I hate junior high drama.  I told her she would meet so many new people in high school  and will forget all of this stupid crap.  Even the boy that Chris drives home every day was in on it.  Part of me wants to tell this little turd to walk home.

Alyx is staying home with Chris this week.  She gets bored at mellisa's.  Hopefully she will have some time to do fun things with Chris.

Aunts

Mellisa is here with the kids for a little break...

I love watching Sydney with Alyx.  She thinks Alyx is the coolest thing ever.  She follows her everywhere and does whatever she does.  They were doing yoga and coloring yesterday.  Too cute.

It reminds me of my aunt Lisa.  I thought she was the coolest thing ever.  She is about ten years older than me (just like Alyx & Sydney).  I wanted to be just like her.  She had the coolest townhouse - and the dogs - and played the guitar.  

Aunts are great
