Nearly Wordless Wednesday: Catherapy

Cats.  Some people seem like they can't live without them and others just don't understand the attraction.  Either way, cats can bring out the best (and worst) in their human counterparts.  I mean, they do have a reputation of being a tiny bit self-absorbed and often times are considered to be not a very good, you know, people-type pet.

Still.

There are those times, during their seemingly endless days of captivity, when a cat can sense that something is off and their owners aren't feeling quite right, or perhaps the planets are aligned and the earth's rotation has shifted just a tad, and they simply slip out of character.

Or (in this case) when the other more affectionate and much younger beta cat is at the vet and in critical care, at the moment.

Either way...there IS peace in the valley, tonight.

Thanks, Old Man - I owe you one - and get well soon, Bucky (named after Buck Beak, one of Hagrid's many pets in Harry Potter) we miss you, so much!

Nearly Wordless Wednesday: Hot Dogs and Warm Heart

My mom is still in the hospital, but she's doing nicely - thank you for your kind thoughts - so, I was able to spend the last night of spring break with my kids.  But, I was emotionally spent and way too tired to cook.  So, when my kids asked my husband Garth (not his real name) if they could roast marshmallows, I told them that we were all out of marshmallows (stupid food shopping) but, suggested that perhaps they'd like to cook their hot dogs on the fire pit, instead.

[eyes go wide]

"For real?"

You see, 2 of my kids want to go camping...but, the other half don't like bugs...and thanks to having given birth to all 4...my sciatica does't do tents, very well...so, roughing-it seems a little too much work, if you ask me.

Still.

It warms my mommyblogging heart to get a chance to do something...anything...together and kicking back in our yard is perhaps the closest our family gets to, you know, going wild.

"Where's Mini-me?"

[shrugs shoulders]

"She said she doesn't like turkey dogs and is looking for something else to eat."

[SLAM]

"Okay, I found some meat-wike-wooking-thing in the fweezer...I think it's eat-uh-bow!"

It's seems like my youngest daughter (she's 6) can fend for herself and doesn't have a problem playing "survivor girl," thankyouvermuch!

Nearly Wordless Wednesday: Spring Cleaning Disclosed

Killer dust bunnies...they are EVERYWHERE!

Disclosure:  No, I have NOT been paid to post this picture, or by anyone for that matter, in a very long time, if you must know.  I spent my husband's money (being a full-time Domestic Goddess doesn't pay very well) nor, should this blog post be considered a product endorsement.

I heart Swiffer!

Sheesh, and I remember the days when blogging used to be so gosh-darned easy ;o)

Nearly Wordless Wednesday: Mini-me Under Wraps and The Great Blog Hunt

My poor Mini-me is feeling under the weather, today.  No worries, she's snug as a bug in a rug and wrapped in her favorite Mickey Mouse blanket.  Her daddy's coming home early, so I can go and play with the other mommies, later.

[crossing fingers and ripping into a box of Midol]

While I'm away, there's some fun stuff going on in the blogosphere this month and you know that I just HAD to throw my dishrag into the ring.

I am participating in The Great Blog Hunt and would love for you (yes, YOU!) to win one of the very cool prizes, just by visiting with a few good blogging friends-o-mine!

Here’s the information on how to participate:

Wordless Wednesday: When Did Easter Become the New Halloween?

Holy Hannah Montana - it's a basket built for 4 - either the Easter Bunny's getting really, really lazy, or they were running low on Easter supplies at ALL the bunny markets, or maybe a little of both...damnit!

Wordless Wednesday: Better Late Than Never

So, Thing Two says, "Gosh, but it was windy today and good thing you remembered to move the basketball net, like Daddy asked you!"

Then, I say, "OH SNAP...I didn't...but, good thing I can move the car, before Daddy gets home, and forget that this eeeeeeeh-vuh happened...that is...if YOU know what's good for you!"

Thank you.
