Christmas Eve 2012


12-24-12

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.
