Christmas Eve already??
It was a good weekend. The world didn’t end. We got the last
few presents purchased and the cookies made. I even got to have a date night! I
also got to see a couple of good friends, which was all kinds of wonderful.
It looks as though my parents have been adopted. A cat
waltzed into their garage yesterday and has pretty much decided he lives in
their house. My mom FaceTime’s me yesterday and shows me this kitty chillin on
the ottoman, which means not only is the cat been allowed in the house, it is
on furniture! He has a collar/tag and they called his owners with no response
as of yet. I told them that this means he is home now. My dad really wants him
to stay, whereas my mom is torn, which just means she wants the cat. LOL! I
kind of hope no one claims him now. This cat (named Mellow according to his
tag) even likes Matt, which tells you he is meant to be!
I am working this morning, wondering if the day will drag
too much. I wish I could hear the rain from my desk. It was pouring this
morning, which made the drive hard. Lots of puddles that were pretending to be
lakes. I also managed to hit every single light on the way to work. There was
just too little traffic to make it go quicker. Lame.
I am getting excited about setting up Santa stuff this
evening. I love this part of parenting. I have gobs of fun stocking goodies I
obtained from Party City and other places. I also am super jazzed about putting
out the presents we got for them. Happy faces in the morning!
We gave the presents to Zach and Jessie last night. The
items the boys picked out were perfect and well received! I felt all happy.
Tragedy at the Compound over the weekend. Andy and Scott’s
beloved kitty, Belle, was killed by the Boxer girls. Sadly, Scotty discovered
Belle, and they left the Compound soon after. We have heard from Andy in text
form since our calls and texts were not answered right away. As expected, they
just couldn’t talk at this point. I so understand. The pups are now going to be
re-homed. There was much discussion on this, and it isn’t so much that she
thinks they will do it again as she just doesn’t trust them anymore and doesn’t
know that she ever can. She would much rather have them in a home where they
will not have that issue. It is sad all around, and hopefully we will talk to
Andy soon. This does mean the kittens will not be coming with us if we go this
week. I say “if” since now I know Christmas has been canceled up there. It is
possible there will be no people there. We shall see.
I have been emailing with my mom this morning (yeah, at 5:30
in the morning. My family is weird) and it looks as though the cat will stay if
no one claims him. YAY! My dad is saying he will be the boys’ cat and just live
there. They have a bedroom there, so why not a cat? Hee!!!!
Ken and the boys are coming today for lunch. Then the boys
will stay with me here, giving me an early out. It isn’t like today is busy in
the least, so it should be cool. Then I can go home and we can get prepped for
Christmas Eve.
