Cat Bite City

Jeff has been bit, not once, but twice by my precious Wendell. It will end up costing us a lot of money between the emergency room visit, urgent health, antibiotics, and good old MD follow up. Oops, I am almost forgot suture removal at the emergency room. I love my baby Wendell, but cats have pitfalls...and we have been having a few...Still cheaper than cats and you can't beat the purrs....:)

Time Flies

Time flies....I have indeed discovered Facebook and that has left me with a computer that tossed it's cookies and lost my pics!!! Don't worry hon, you don't need to copy them!! HA! Still am mad about that one...

Also, just did my 5 year cancer walk...Did it solo this time...It was quiet and not too exciting, but glad I went....

Work goes well.

My poor Eli is starting to feel his age....We will see what happens there...You know mommy...She is a definite worry wart.....

WHY OH WHY

I AM IN CAPITALS BECAUSE I AM UPSET...WHY OH WHY DOES EVERYONE IN THE WORLD WANT TO SHARE THEIR CAT STORIES OF HOW THEY ARE GOING TO GET RID OF THEIR CAT....IT'S NOT THAT THEY WANT ME TO TAKE IT...NO THE RESCUE LEAGUE ROUTE, ETC...BUT STILL...WOULD YOU GIVE AWAY YOUR KID FOR DISAGREEING WITH ITS SIBLINGS, FOR HAVING AN "ACCIDENT", ETC...IF NOT, THEN WHY WOULD YOU EVEN THINK OF GIVING AWAY YOUR ANIMAL...IT'S A LIFETIME COMMITMENT PEOPLE, NOT AN ONLY WHEN IT'S CONVENIENT...OTHERWISE, SERIOUSLY, HOW MANY OF YOU WOULD HAVE KIDS....I MEAN REALLY.....I DON'T WANT TO KNOW....I CAN'T TAKE THEM ALL IN.....AND I DON'T REALLY WANT TO KNOW THE DETAILS OF SOMEONE ELSE THAT I CAN'T SAVE...PEOPLE....I'LL KEEP MY CATS..

Sophie Eleanor

A not terrific picture of our now almost 6 month old addition to the family. Very cute, very vocal, very sweet little girl who's entered our large clavern....She is adorable!!

Sick Kitties

A week of sick children and multiple vet trips. Eli is recovered from his dental cleaning and starting to act like his old self.
Wendell is still recovering from his urinary tract infection.
AND FINALLY THEY HAVE ALL STOPPED YELLING AT EACH OTHER....so life is getting better....my poor babies..

Cat Grass Fever

My in-laws grew us some grass for the children....You can buy a tub of it at Wal-Mart and it takes a couple of days to grow and then you have munchies for kittens....I brought it home today and the boys devoured it. I left home for 15 minutes and counted 10 kitty barfs when I got back...Lucky they were all on the hard kitchen floor so it was wipeable, but still......They did enjoy it and that's what counts.....:) My kids, gotta love em...c

Work Etc

Work, work, and more work.....and about a gazillion dollars worth of medical bills all in the same week....I knew it was coming, but just thought it would be spread out more.........No such luck- Now I'm looking forward to 4-5 visits to the vet for immunizations.....Lucky me!!:( I know it could be worse, but sometimes the downpours just suck the life out of you.........Here's food for thought-my husband's niece is having a graduation party that we should go to.....They are expecting 300-400 people...Doesn't that sound fun-NOT

Why I Have Cats by Me

I have cats so when I wake up in the morning I can find 6 inches of cat barf in my closet. (I measured). The end..

Update

My eyes have new glasses, which I hate. New glasses drive me batty. I can never get them to feel right and it makes life interesting to say the least. The bifocal bump up is nice. I like the extra bang I get with these.

Spent the weekend (a long one) in MN with BFF and Hannah. Spent some money, got some cont ed, cheese, and shoes which are all priorities on a trip up North. I think I've met my cont ed requirement but am going to take the child abuse and adult abuse course to finish it up....

The cats got presents from MN which was nice for them. They like their tent and I found my beautiful black boy cat sleeping quite soundly in a pink cat bed with bows....I do worry about him sometimes....HAHA. It was quite adorable and we just stared at him for a couple of minutes.

The job front--interesting. My manager is on sick leave from B&B so I'm not enjoying it quite as much these days...

I am going out to trim the yard and try to get motivated for the day--

Cracks Me Up

I'm sorry. This would've been a good pick of Wendell, but he got distracted as you can tell. His ear cocked to listen to something and I ended up with this dorky shot instead...He is soooo hard to get a decent picture of...

Just Because...

Katie being cute. You can really see her personality in this one.

ER Update

Well, I am left with no bumps and bruises following the recent visit to the ER. The cat bites have healed (well, I still have a couple of marks, but they are almost gone). The bruises are gone. As I told my god-daughter, it looked like I had a hickey on my arm for awhile......Not that I know about hickeys, but I digress....Wendell is almost healed and has only a small scab on his side. The hair has grown back over the area (big surprise) and he is acting like himself again. We are still waiting on the leftovers bill from the visit, but it was worth it for him to feel better.

Q is 2

Quincy celebrated his 2nd bday on March 18. He is the baby and the BIGGEST!! He is definitely in his terrible 2's and has been for about 6 months. He makes his brother Wendell's life miserable-
Happy Bday Quince, we love you!!

Cat Version But Same Sentiment......

TOO CUTE!

OOPS

OOPS! Before putting lotion on, I took my rings off and sat them on the floor beside me. Went to do a 5 minute errand and came back to find my anniversary band GONE!!!!!

After some serious searching, it's amazing what I can lift when panicking!!! Searching the grates, the downstairs, the bathrooms, I found it under the bathmat in the downstairs bathroom-

Katie, Katie, she loves to play with anything that she can bat across the floor and make noise with.....be still my heart.......all is good again...............

I knew there was a reason for those ring trees!!:)
