Of course, it all falls apart if you've lost a finger.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I do not have a knight costume. I feel like I should, though.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Trust my rage
Erin, I missed the conversation last night, but I had to chime in since I'm basically a single mom now and I've been thinking a lot about a will lately. I don't think I'm scared of dying more than anyone else but I do worry now because it means my kids (well, E, F, and the coming baby) would likely be split up.
I *wish* I could specify that my parents raise all 3 if something happens to me, but I know that I can't. I should add here that Joe is not a bad father, but he has never shown me that he has any idea about taking care of the kids on a regular basis. And it is important to me that my kids grow up together. The baby's father is not currently in a place where I would feel comfortable leaving him alone with a baby, or child, but I suspect he feels the same way.
Anyway, after talking to my family lawyer, her take on it was that the best I can do is specify my wishes in the will and then leave any life insurance proceeds in a trust managed by the person I want to care for the kids. So that at least that person (likely my mom or dad) will have some influence in the situation.

Wish I could answer yes to the knight costume question.

Our will (which needs to be updated as it was written before Dillo was born) leaves custody of the kids to mr. flea's sister (who has kids, but we specifically did not mention her husband at all, since he is a drinkbox) but any money from our estate to my sister, who was the executor (well, in a trust for the kids administered by her). We felt like that was a good balance (I'd leave the kids to my sister, but I think it might kill her). Of course, my mother was crushed that we didn't leave custody of the kids to her (which she only found out maybe a year ago), but we had very sound reasons for that, like their mental health. And we figured she is so bossy and determined that whoever had custody she would end up seeing the kids plenty.
Still and all, I hope we don't both die while the kids are minors.
