I have an OCD cat

 Or well my son does.

 Somehow almost 2 years ago, we went to the pet store, to get my son a corn snake. The pet store was out and only had boas. Mama did not want a boa... So my son asked about the kitties in the front of the pet store. "Your dad will NOT let you get a kitty" I said to my son... No sooner than the words came out of my mouth, my husband called from work. Son asked if he could have a kitten and daddy said he did not care. WHAT?!

 So that afternoon we looked in the paper at the many ads for "Free kittens". One person was offering a jackson certificate to go towards spaying. I told the boy he had to pay for all the supplies, first vet visits and getting kitty fixed. He was more than willing to spend all his money on a new furry friend. We went to look at kittens in this little old man's home, and there was the CUTEST fuzzy little white and brown long haired siamese looking kitten. Blue eyes, and we were all instantly in love with him, so he came home and was named Snowball.

 So snowball has become OBSESSED with soda pop lids. He likes to play with them. You can put cat toys all over the house, and he will ignore them and go for a pop lid. He will play with them and play with them until they finally end up under the stove. Then he will sit at the stove, paw flicking around, meowing for someone to help him get it out.

 He has gotten so crazy with his obsession now, that if he so much as HEARS a soda bottle open, he's there, watching, waiting for you to drop it. He will even go over to closed soda bottles wishing he had thumbs, trying to open the bottle. I have had many a soda gone flat, due to snowball, knocking it over to get the lid. Damn cat.

 So the other day, he was more obsessed than normal with what was under the stove, so hubby went under there and started to fish some out with a long pole... One sweep brought out about 10, another sweep, another 10 or so. Finally we decided to pull the stove out, and just get them all... This is what we found.

My count, says there are 100 lids (and other odd objects)
 Among pop lids, his favorite, we found a plastic fork, A-1 steak sauce lids, milk lids, marbles, a bitten atomic fire ball, 2 ranch dressing lids, a push pin, and a plastic pumpkin. Oh that silly silly cat. 

 Oh and Snowball is not mistaken, he is Bailey's cat. He knows when it is bedtime, and he will sit in Baileys bed, waiting for him to come in there. He sucks on his "mommy dog" toy, purrs and sleeps in there until Bailey has fallen asleep, then he gets up and either bothers us, or plays with the other cats.  He's a wonderful addition to our family and I am very thankful that daddy said yes, even though, had I been able to talk to him first, I would have prompted him to say no.

not everything i say requires a response.

 first off let me say, my shift key is not working so nothing is uppercase today. so sorry.   the new chick at work is driving me...crazy. short drive i know but even so. like seriously. crazy. she argues with everything, butts into any conversation started without her in it, and denies anything being done wrong. she's new, making a mistake is going to happen. if you do it, fess up, and get on. your not in trouble. shut up. quit denying it just say ok, and get on with life. it does not always require a response. just do it. or don't do it, whatever fits in the time. then i have customers like the lady today. she and her friends all got their pizzas. when i walked by i stopped to check on the table. i noticed that the lady was asking her friend to sniff her slice of pizza, of which she had taken one bite of. i asked if everything was okay 'it tasted funny when i took a bite' she says 'here taste it," she tries to get her friends to taste it, one sniffs and ...

some days

 The kids are just cute. I know I normally talk about how bratty they are. but today, well today they were just cute. All of them, even Destiny. Believe it or not.  Hannah came down the little car line to get into the van and she was smiling and so happy, and so dang cute. Promise had a friend over part of the day Bailey played mario and Destiny told me my shirt looked like a hobo shirt (it was Tims)  Today was just a good day. not sure what made it that way. the kids mostly got a long, there were a few SHUTUPS tossed out but for the most part it was pretty peaceful. I wish more days, were like today.  I went to Lowe's today to get a shelf thing to put in our laundry room. Its so exciting! TO think a shelf would be nice here, and then think YEAH, I'll put one in. See we can do that, cus we OWN our house! :) Its awesome!  I got a few more seeds today. Sweet baby peppers, zucchini and squash too. Yum. I really hope something grows this year. I am SO sore f...

Love the one your with.

 My mom and I were talking and lately her relationship is what I guess we could call complicated. During our conversation she stopped and asked me "Are you happy with Tim?" without hesitation I answered "yes".She told me that she knew he loved me and she was so glad I could be happy.  Later I was thinking about it. I have wondered is he "it" is he the one. How can I be sure, how is anyone ever sure? We have been together for almost 9 years now. Granted we've had our issues, but every night he comes home to me, and every morning he's next to me in bed. He loves me, he provides for me, and I love him and provide for him. Together we are raising four wonderful children.  Do I still get butterflies when he walks though the door? Well, honestly, no. Do I still miss him the moment he walks away... Again no, sometimes I am more than happy to see him leave for the evening and go to work... Does that mean I love him any less than I did when our love was...
