Well, since my blogs have mostly been depressing and whiny lately, I thought I'd post a couple of funnies. With kids, dogs, cats, and birds all living with me in relative harmony, strange things happen at my house all the time. I've really gotten used to it. But every once in a while, something comes up that surprises even me.
Random acts of kitten....
Around the first part of December, I sat down on the edge of the bed around eleven o'clock one night to call Cree and Bennett and tell them goodnight. My bed meowed at me. Rooting around in the rumpled up covers, I found a brand new little grey tabby cat, apparently a gift from my Siamese (who is supposed to be fixed, by the way). That is not what surprised me, because I've found newborn kittens in strange places in my house before.
Fast forward four months, and imagine my surprise when I opened a drawer in my kitchen to get a dish towel and found instead a furry butt. I screamed like a little girl and slammed the drawer shut. A second later, I realized what I had seen was not a rodent, but my four month old kitten, Tilly - napping in my dish towel drawer. Apparently, she opens the cabinet underneath the drawer and uses the recessed shelf inside as a step, enabling her to climb into the drawer while leaving it shut. Bennett and Cree are in town, so I have yet to live down the whole 'screaming like a little girl' thing. But I was just not expecting a furry form in my kitchen drawer...and yes, all the dishtowels have been re-washed and relocated. I have surrendered the drawer to the cat.
The things kids do to entertain themselves....
Yesterday, when the kids and I got home from school, Cree's kids were out in the front yard playing with giant bubble wands. I told my kids they could stay outside and play. I looked out the window to check on them and saw Cooper (7) and Jared (4) blowing giants bubbles, and KC (9) shooting and popping the bubbles with the Nerf gun. I was pretty impressed with his aim. Pa Pie will be proud.
Rock stars in the making...
Two quick funnies this morning:
You know you're a little overwhelmed and distracted when you make yourself coffee, wait (not so patiently) the fifteen minutes for it to brew....and then pour hot water in your mug because you forgot to put the coffee grounds in the filter. Good morning, Yvette!!
While you're in the kitchen, you hear your laptop ding. You walk back into the living room to see a kitten sitting on the couch staring intently at the computer screen. On the screen, instead of the Vox page that was there when you left, is a Yahoo search saying:
"No results were found for /////....Please check the spelling and try again."
Do I even need to tell you that the kitten who apparently wants to learn to use the computer is the one that Mel fell in love with yesterday?
