One More Hour

Unlike some mothers I've seen crying on the first day of school, I cry on the last day of school. I'm sitting here crying right now. My kids get out of school for the summer in less than an hour:-( Don't get me wrong, I really love my boys, but they drive me crazy!! All they do is play video games and fight. Summers here are terribly hot (over 100 degrees!) and the boys are cooped up in the air conditioned house all day unless they are out back playing in the water.

My 7 year old is playing baseball this summer and he has 3 games a week for the next month. My 12 year old didn't want to play baseball this year, he would rather sit around and play video games and text girls on his cell phone all day.

Hopefully, I can survive the next 11.5 weeks!

3 Treasuries and The Storque

I'm in 3 treasuries today!
One of my candles was in The Storque. It was about The Office. I don't watch that show. Now because I don't like it, I just don't watch much TV. So, I had to call and ask my sister the story about Serenity by Jan was. Thankfully, she watches every episode over and over and knew exactly what it was.

I Can Grow Flowers!

Last year, I thought it would be nice to have flowers in the flower beds under the 2 bay windows in the back of my house. I planted flower seeds and watered and waited. They started to grow and just as they were starting to bloom, the dog dug them all up! So, I gave up. Well, this year I didn't plant anything and some flowers came up. This time the dog didn't dig them up. I have no idea what kind of flowers they are, but they look nice.

I'm Going To Be A Grandma!!

I'm not very happy about it either! We got our last cat, Jackie Chan, and on the paper that came with him the neutered box was checked off. I assumed that meant that he had been neutered. Apparently it didn't. I have a cat, Miley, that hasn't been spayed yet. We had an appointment but the vet cancelled and I hadn't gotten around to making another one. I didn't worry about it because she never goes outside and all the other cats are fixed. Or so I thought. About 6 or 7 weeks ago I caught my cats in a compromising position and I yelled at Jackie Chan and he ran away. Jackie Chan is scared of me because when we first got him I roared at him and he still hasn't forgiven me for that.

Well, about 3 weeks ago, I was sleeping and Miley starts pestering me. She always does that when I am trying to sleep. I should learn to close my door at night. So I pet her for a bit and she rolls over and I thought I felt a tick. I jumped up and flipped on the light and discover it wasn't a tick. I google cat pregnancy and see she is displaying signs of pregnancy. I did consider taking her to the vet for an abortion but couldn't do it. The good news is that I have already found good homes for 3 kittens.

She has gotten really fat the past couple of weeks so it won't be long now. Cats are only pregnant for about 9 weeks. Jackie Chan is getting neutered tomorrow!

Here's the bad boy Jackie Chan: Miley:
