It's the little things...

  • Thank god, it is tax time, I actually have worked every hour that I have been to work, in fact there is one project I have been trying to get to all week but have been too busy, it's vacuuming but still it counts!
  • Thank god, for sore throats, cause they sure keep the noise down around here.
  • Thank god, for John Lennon, who, in under three minutes, can fix any boy troubles and restore the faith in man kind.
  • Thank god, for the easy questions kids ask..."Why Mr. McFeely is named Mr. McFeely? and he sure had a lot of little kid friends" and not some silly nonsense about periods or something.
  • Thank god, I am the grown up and can pick my fights, cause it would have ruined a perfectly good day if I had chose to pick this morning fight.
  • Thank god, for the freezing cold sunshine, at least it looks like spring.
  • Thank god, I didn't have to go to the principles office in regards to a child not talking talking nicely to the boys. Who would have known you couldn't say "your just jealous cause gay guys like me!" at school?

Poor Stupid Kitty

Sitting in bed this morning, sipping on the hot cup of coffee, left for me on the nightstand, I hear the jingling of dog tags in the living room, and then a howl coming from the cat. Not comprehending what was happening, because the dogs were still with me. I leap out of bed and over our big dog, which sleeps with his head under my side of the bed making it difficult to exit without hurting him. With no time to grab a robe, I run upstairs to find the cat had somehow gotten his head stuck between the rungs on the back of a dinning room chair. His tail was all puffy, he was howling as if he were dieing.
We have had little kids get their hands stuck in the rungs; the rungs are larger at the top then narrow towards the seat. They tend to slip their tiny hands in at the top, and then get off the chair. Their little arms slide down to the narrow space, they find they cannot remove them. With one hand stuck it the chair, they cannot climb back up on the chair to reach the wider area to remove their hand. Ricky was in the same position, he was still on the seat but found with his head stuck he could not stand up again to reach the larger opening.
The dogs heard the commotion and came running, freaking the cat out even more. Grabbing Ricky, holding his legs tight so he does not tear into my skin with his claws, I lift him so his head would fit out the bigger space at the top of the chair. The wiener dogs are jumping and nipping at Ricky’s tail. Ricky is pulling and tugging and still cannot free his head, the dogs are making it worse. Getting a hand free so I can twist his head so it can squeeze out of the larger opening towards the top, he twists it on his own and it pops free.
He is okay, it took and hour for his tail to loose its poof, he has left piles of hair everywhere he goes (from the stress) and he is still slinking around, I think, a little humiliated. I am still giggling over his embarrassment, wondering how he got himself into the situation and wishing I had gotten my camera out before freeing him. I am also a little worried that if it had happened while we were all gone what the dogs would have done to him. Poor stupid kitty.

Will Smith, you know the Fresh prince, I never really like him, I liked his song that went with his show, but never him as an actor. He always seemed to play the same roll, in all of his rolls, no matter how different from the Fresh Prince the part was written, I never thought he could play anything different....until last night!

The girls and I went to see I am legend.... I was amazed!!! Will Smith was one of very FEW actors in the movie and he pulled the part off (and he is very sexy with the graying of his hair)!!! A GREAT movie!!! I enjoy scary suspenseful movies, zombie movies, vampires, ET movies, science fiction!!! I also enjoy a really good tear jerker, the ones the leave you feeling hollow from a good cry! This movie had it all... I have never felt so many emotions during a zombie movie! GO SEE IT!!!
