My dad is in the living room watching The Sopranos. He was mean to me after supper, and then he tried to make up for it. He yelled and got all mad at me and made me cry, and then he brings me home ice cream. I hate when he tries to buy me back. I feel so cheap when I give in to that type of crap. I tried to act all happy about it, and make up too. I guess it's okay, as long as he doesn't get so mad at me all of the time.
Last night I had to babysit Lauren and Jimmy. We had a pretty good time there. Jim and I played cards while Kat and Lau played some sort of game on the computer. I am so lucky that they are related to me, becuase they're just so sweet. Sure, they can both be a pain in the bum at times, but I am lucky to have them. I wish I had a younger brother like Jim. He is one of my best buddies around. I tucked him into bed, and he was just like..."Come and watch tv with me for a while before I have to go to sleep. Please?" So cute. Well, now I have a new second cousin, because my cousin Melissa had her baby. Even if it doesn't have a father, it is still very cute. Actually, I couldn't go to the hospital the night my parents went, so they took the video camera with them to record the baby. Gabriella is so very beautiful. Usually babies are so ugly and red and nasty, but this baby is very nice. It will be nice to have a baby in the family again, I guess. I don't know what to think sometimes.
