Family stuff: Went to my mom's this morning to pick the baby up since her car (and Alex's new carseat) were stolen. Her ATM card was also taken and hit for about $400 so far. Police, bank, etc have been contacted. We're (sadly) pretty sure who did it but there's not a lot of evidence at this time. I feel bad for my mom. She has a huge heart and just gives everyone a chance, and unfortunately, sometimes people take advantage of that. In the same theme, Nate's dad is pretty sure his aide has been stealing from him. At this time, it's added up to thousands of dollars in missing items, and they're still finding more gone. They do have her on check fraud from stealing one of Karl's checks, and the police are checking for fingerprints, etc, so hopefully they'll be able to get her for the larceny too. Still, many items are irreplaceable and who knows if they will turn up? So, very sad all around.

Today is day one of the South Beach diet. Really too soon to have much to say about it. So, yeah.

It's all chilly and autumnal today. Last night we had our first fire of the season. Yumm snuggling on the new couch in front of the fireplace. And it makes the kitties want snugglies more too, which is always sweet.

So, in summary? People suck, but kitties are good. Have a happy Monday.
