A New Addition to the Family

Last night, I unexpectedly had another baby.  Well maybe not a human baby, but we now have a kitten.  I have spent the last 7 years telling Randy that I do not want a cat!  Then without any warning he brings home a kitten last night!  Don't get me wrong, she is cute and pretty sweet, but I don't want a cat!  Besides of course she is cute, she is just a baby.  Last night was a pretty interesting evening.  Riley freaked out every time he tried to hold her and Alex screamed bloody murder everytime the kitten got close to her.  Finally after getting everyone tucked in bed, I sat down to do some school work and where does the kitten decide to lay?  On my arm of course!  She fell sound asleep laying right there upside down on my arm.  The biggest thing is I don't need another responsibility right now, especially the first week of school!
Tonight was a little calmer, although I didn't think I would ever get dinner ready between the demands of Alex & Riley, and constantly keeping an eye out for where the kitten is and what she is getting into.  Oh by the way, she doesn't have a name yet!  Right now I am liking peanut because she looks like she stuck her paws in peanut butter, but I am not sure that will sound right when she is a full grown cat.
As I read Riley a story tonight, she curled up in bed with him and fell sound asleep.  Riley begged for her to stay so we let him fall asleep with her.  But then we went in to check on them and she woke up, so we carried her in with us while we watched a movie.  Now she is sound asleep on my right arm, which makes it really hard to type!
Not much bigger than a peanut!
Then Alex decided that if Riley got to go to bed with the cat, she would go to bed with every baby she owns!  I think I will be sneaking in there later to remove at least half of them!

Well not sure what Randy was thinking but it is a really cute cat. I'm sure you will all end up falling in love with it.
