The kittens seem fine!

Ok, not that I was too worried, but this was a first for us. We had talked about it and on Sunday we picked up vaccinations for the kittens. This allowed us to administer them ourselves. It was a much better rate of $10, and allowed us to do them in our own house, which probably saves the cats some stress. They did seem the standard slightly lethargic on Sunday night, but as of yesterday morning on, they were back to normal, running around like crazies. This will now allow us to be able to take them down to the shelter over the winter break and get them spayed. Dax seemed very concerned about this last night, even tearing up a bit when I tried to explain what they would do. He was very worried they would die. I assured him that this was routine and they would be ok.

It was a fun afternoon with watching Dax sing. Seriously, I am such a sucker for shit like that. I had to keep my own happy tears in check as he sang at me. Yes, he and I were making eye contact much of the time, with me mouthing the words, which made him smile more. He was positively adorable.

Today we get to go do the same thing, this time with Bobby’s class. Seriously, these are some of the best reasons to be a parent. There is not a whole lot of things that are cuter than a class of kids singing Christmas carols.

Not only did I get to watch kids sing yesterday, I managed to do some serious cleaning. The boys wanted to do their homework in the living room in front of the tree. This meant I could work on my desk. I also got inspired and opted to work on organizing Ken’s desk. I put to use the desk baskets I brought home to good use by taking all of the mail and paperwork and breaking it down into 4 piles. I also made a 5^th pile, which was the largest pile, which was all recycling. This frenzy of clean then had me cleaning up the entry way and the rest of the hall into the house. I straightened the living room, too! It was a happy making time for me.

After dinner we also were able to get over to Dollar Tree where I picked up provisions to make little gift bags for all the students in the boys’ classes.  A Christmas pencil, Christmas eraser, a candy cane, and chocolate coal. LOL! YAY!

Tomorrow is my day off. I am not going to even bother with work being that I will be running around a lot. Bobby performs again tomorrow at 11. After his performance, we run over and get pizza. Then we bring it back to the school for Dax’s Christmas party. I am guessing we will also stop in on Bobby’s class party as well. After school, we are going to the book fair, which will probably mean getting some books. Then after homework, we are off to Louis Burgers for the school fundraiser. Phew!

Now to get through today.
