Wonderful, amazing, adoring, going to get anything he wants Hubby called from work today.
Do you want the interesting news or the great news. He asks.
I opted for the interesting first. I like my dessert last.
I had a very long conversation with my Mother today, (oh oh I think) and she tells me their barn cat had kittens. She claims in her life, she has never seen a cuter kitten then this little beauty in need of love.
Oh crap on a stick! Do you know what my kids beg for every time we go to buy DOG food. For our big black DOG. A kitten. This is not a passing phase. This has been going on for SIX years.
Now I am a Mother torn. I already clean up fur from the DOG who will not stop shedding even though I threatened to vacuum her, and I am the only one who cleans the stinky fish bowl. I might even be the only one who feeds Chips the fish. Are we really going to add a kitty …a helpless, cute, won’t survive without us kitty to our clan?
Must.not.cave.to.cuteness.
Must change subject.
What is the great news? I ask all kinds of distracted.
My parents are NOT using their lake house next week (yes I said lake house) and said we can take it if the kids are interested in some time at the beach?
IF WE ARE INTERESTED? They won’t even be there! We can HAVE the lake house? Now I’m spinning in circles, packing, thinking about making my kids dream come true with a ridiculously cute kitty, and day dreaming about the sun, the sandcastles, the daiquiris the candles, the BBQ. The amazing family vacation that just fell in my lap!
What to do?
Decide while drinking daiquiris on the beach.
Sounds reasonable.
Please don’t forget me when I’m gone…
You will have to check back to see if we adopt the cutest cat that ever lived!
See you in a week!
Have a great time and really, that may be the cutest kitten I have ever seen too.
Get the kitten! Get the Kitten! What’s one more mess!
go for it, it will amuse the DOG for a while – and if they don’t get on – well old smelly cat problem solved – !!
I bet you’ll end up with the kitten.. have a great time on the lake! I can’t wait to hear all about it!
I finally caved after years and years of begging for a kitten, as soon as it got older my kids said they liked him better when he was a kitten………maybe I liked you better as a baby!! LOL
Oh no…your blog was great prep for me. My F-I-L just texted me they have 6 kittens born last week. I hope I do not end up with one!
Great post.
Cute kitten. i miss ours but I dont miss cleaning up the litter!
Take it! Take it!!
Just think what might become of it if you don’t! Poor little pussy cat.
It really is beyond cute and as someone who’s trying to find homes for the two kitten in MY backyard (seen here) it’s so hard to find good homes.
I’d also insist that Little Miss Barn Cat be fixed.
Have I not been here in awhile and missed your blog makeover or am I just really tired this morning and it looks all new????
Kitties…no. Daiquiries…sign me up.
Canadian Lakes are so beautiful, what an amazing week that will be! That kitten is a cutie-pie, I’d never stop rubbing her nose. My family ran a cat hostel for a while, we lived in the country and people would drop them off. The good thing about cats: mine have always required far less attention that dogs. Your kids will love her.
LOL, Have one for meeeeeeee!
I love cats.. Can’t have one though. Our dog hates them =(
GOOD LUCK.. and HAVE FUNNNNNNNNN!
Have a great time. The kitty looks really cute. It will be interesting to hear what happens.
Have a great vacation!
Ahh, kittens are cute. But I’m more a dog person.
Good luck.
Your last sentence said it all…
the cutest cat that ever lived. Welcome to scooping cat litter!!! I hope your dog doesn’t eat the cat poop.
oh my that is one cute kitten! but they do turn into smelly old cats. I’m just sayin
(i’d cave in about 30 seconds!)
