I'm running on stupid today. Every once in a while, I do that. I don't feel especially well, I've been trying to get over a bout of bronchitis but it seems to have spread to other parts of my system. I just really want to crawl into bed and collapse for a couple of days, but that's a luxury I can't afford at this point in time.
It's been very busy the past couple of days. I had the puppy groomed into a Schnauzer cut last weekend so the cold and snow this weekend has knocked her for a loop. I can put her out for half an hour and then she wants back in...and she comes in just shivering from the cold so I hold her until she warms up...and then she falls asleep on my lap...and then I don't want to wake her...so I fall asleep petting her...or read for a time. Out every couple hours for half and hour and then we start over again.
I just want to clarify that my animals are not spoiled, they are just well-loved. On weekday mornings they get a quick bowl of food and fresh water....on weekend mornings, they think I am the greatest mom in the world. Saturday I made oatmeal with bananas, apples, and sunflower seeds for the birds. Lots of really good stuff for them in there. The dogs got dry food mixed with an egg and liver. The cat doesn't eat people food so he got dry food, canned food, and an egg. It keeps me busy.
My sis called today and asked if I wanted ribs for dinner. Well no, not particularly, but there is a reason I need to go out to her house, so ok...I'll have ribs for dinner. Get to her house and I need to pick out which kitten I wanted. She found four adorable little Siamese kittens abandoned on her property. She's keeping two for barn cats...and I had said I would take one....but...I had to figure out which one I was taking.
I'm thinking she knows me too well. I came home with two new kittens. What the hell was I thinking? Now I need to get another dog so my house will be equalized.....three cats, three birds, two dogs....I'm off balance somewhere. I only hope this house is big enough to handle all these animals. And I hope no one else figures out that if you get me to handle the animal....I'm a pushover.
Feel the passion, walk in peace, live in love....Ari

I'm a pushover with animals and kids. That's one of the reason's I am becoming a foster parent. Someone has to help the kids in crisis. And I raise my hand to lend them a helping hand. And for animals, I got my 2 cats when they were kittens. A man stopped at my son's job with a box of 10 kittens, by the time the man left all the kittens were dispersed through friends and family members.
good girl gone bad

Animals and older children....I love both...I love to watch older children grow into the adults they will someday be. It is a gift we too often forget to enjoy.
