This morning I dropped MiniMeow off at the doctors office to get neutered. I am so glad that will be done and over with. It’s sometimes hard for me to get "out of the routine" stuff done. Speaking of which I need to call my chiropractor and ask him…. yep my appointment is today. Then after that I am coming home ( should get here around 3pm)and I am taking the "stray" cat from last week (it ran in the house and it’s really nice, but wont go back out so I am taking it to… ok I am coming home and picking up that cat that isn’t mine and taking it to the vet where MiniMeow is having his surgery because the woman from "Always Rescue" will pick up "stray kitty" later. She is the one who reccommended that vet. She said she will already have the stray neutered and gotten shots by tomorrow and a few days later ready to be adopted. That makes me feel good. 1) I am actually giving up a critter that came into my house. 2) I adopted Nine-uh from her as an adult and I know she takes good care of the kitties 3) I know the cat is going to a no-kill place. 4) did i mention i am actually giving away a nice stray cat that is in my house right now? Do you have any idea how hard that would have been for me… amazingly enough, It really isnt hard today. I think thats because I have my head on my shoulders… well on my neck… you know. Both my cats were planned, Nine-uh and minimeow. I didn’t plan for a third cat… and so I shall not have one! I am SO proud of myself. I think it also isnt hard today because I am feeling fulfilled emotinally and i dont need something new to love me unconditionally. I have kids for that now… uh yeah.
Speaking of, Took H to another birthday party yesterday for one of her classmates. There were over 35 kids at Helen’s party so lets figure this one out… If Helen Gets invited to… say 30 parties a year ( yes it really happens) and Zach also gets invited to 30 parties a year. ALL the kids have parties. That is 60 parties during the school year. (about 44 weeks) (during the summer everyone is at camp)(so they go to camp parties too). NOW lets add in the factor that the majority of the people throwing these parties are either conservative or orthodox jews, who observe the shabbat and therefore only have parties on sundays ( and the rest of us have them on sundays so the orthodox kids can come)… thats 60 parties that can only happen on sundays in the time of 44 weeks. There have been days when each child went to two separate parties each, there have been days when z went to one at the same time helen went to another and then helen went to two more in the same day… In fact there was another party on the SAME day as Helen’s party ( at different times) so most of the kids were at their second party of the day by noon. I am sick of cake, wired children and goody bags. I will however give kudos to the girl (down the block) who donated all her presents to katrina victims… I heard her mom bribed her into doing that by buying her a trampoline.
anyhow. It’s off to the chiro with me, and then back here and then to the vet… ya for neutering!
That’s a lot of parties. Maybe all the kids who have a birthday in a given month could have one huge celebration somewhere mid-month.
Probably wouldn’t fly. Kids want their own celebrations.
Oh, well. I think it’s a good idea.
Shalom
