party of one
By me • Feb 12th, 2008 • Category: cats, today's blog 365 postI miss my boys. Because the roads were so treacherous, and because I’m only going to be in Detroit for three days this week, they stayed home with my mom until next weekend. This thrilled them to no end. They absolutely love having a full house to run around in and a pack of poodles to torment. In fact, every time I bring them back to the studio after being home for the weekend they get out of their carriers, look around, and then immediately come whining to me, all “what the hell are we doing back in this dump???” I keep explaining to them that they need to think long term, and that a sacrifice of their space and amusement for a year or so will, in a couple years, result in me being more financially stable and able to buy a house just for them. They’re not buying it though, and give me that “you are so full of shit” look whenever I explain it to them.
And while there are some perks to them being gone, such as not being woken up at 3 in the morning by a loud and mysterious crashing noise, it’s just not home without them here. Yes, I was able to get some homework done last night in half the time it usually takes me, but it just wasn’t as much fun without the normal distractions.

Yes your boys do miss you but not enough to want to return home just yet..last night after I went to bed the three of them had a hay day running up and down the steps and making the dogs bark even Foster came out into the living room before I crashed for the night….early 4:00 am this morning.
As a mom of four I can relate to how empty the house seemed when they stayed at grandma’s. But really, try to enjoy a little “alone” time.
I made a commitment to comment (blog 365 group) and I’m popping by to say hi! *waving*
Oy. You get the weird crashes in the middle of the night, too? On top of the crashes and jingly balls, Noni has this bad habit of meowing a weird throaty meow in the middle of the night. We’re still unsure of what she wants. Is she lonely? Is she sad? Is she just playing? Either way, we try and call her so she comes up on the bed and stays quiet. Sheesh.
Then, last night, I had a dream that I found another kitten and kept it - ahhhh! What am I thinking!?
They are so incredibly cute!
