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!
i love cats!!!
Awww the deliberations! Such tricky life decisions right!? lol
I know this is an older post but still, I think it was meant for me to come and read this. We just adopted a baby kitten that needed a home too. I love him to pieces. He looks like he is wearing a permanent set of striped pajamas.The only problem we have is deciding on his name. Can’t wait to hear if you adopted or not.
Don’t know the outcome, but I think the kitten won.
there is a farm cat in the barn behind me that is the most loveable cat I have ever seen. she actually will stand up on her hind legs reaching up for you to pick her up. if I didnt have three pets already I would steal her from the people I rent from.
I can see how that kitty could steal your heart 🙂
I have to admit that getting the great news was a very wise choice 🙂
Kittens warm your heart.
Funny how everything sounds good while drinking daiquiris on the beach.
Another wonderful post, thoroughly enjoyed this. I see from the date that this is an old post but the title in Reader faves meant that I just had to come and see what it’s all about. 🙂
Years ago my family had a kitten just drop into our laps and we couldn’t really say no since she pretty much decided that we were her family.
When does you dog come feel like it should be soon
Be strong! Don’t do it!
you must be getting your dog soon?
awwwwww sweet kitty .. i love dogs better but all animals are sweet in their own way 🙂
On the other hand, cats are interesting creatures. When young they are little darlings but when they get older they are kinda mean (and some pee all over the place) #justsaying
