Random moments, black & white

kitten photos... 

His name is Sparra           [uh, think pirate - Captain Jack Sparrow Arrr!]

Right ...  well, this guy looks "adorable"

Much like the Captain ...

sometimes, he actually is adorable

and those are the moments when one might hear two teen boys say the word
"A D O R A B L E " (out loud even)

But truthfully, he's "annoying" ... still cute and cuddly {in those random moments} but ANNOYING.

Who knew??

Parenting techniques that worked so well with my boys are simply useless!! 

The thing about using love & logic is that kittens don't care if you love them or how logical it is to NOT bite or scratch or wound the person who feeds them.   Arrrgh!!

See how these eyes tell a story that looks much like curiosity … 

but quickly they turn into CRAZY-eyes and a holy terror kitten runs wildly around trying to bite and scratch anything in the vicinity of its claws.  

Case in point, bare legs ...  EEK!  

Legs which cannot go walking around bare as this might happen ... 

(yes, he's caught mid-air mid-attack, yes I have the marks to prove it!   Hmmmph.

But they love him, little terror Sparra ...

only adorable moments for me are when he sleeps!!

shh, don't wake him up!!

 

      Millie thinks he's annoying too...

then again she bops him in the head & takes a cat nap... 

Ooh, no ... I'm thinking he's plotting an attack of the toes ... 

Who says rescuing kittens is humane ... what about rescuing me?!!!   

I'm off to run some errands ... why is it he sleeps while I'm gone and is awake when I'm home... tell me they grow up quickly like my kids ~ a sophmore and 8th grader {way more mature than their grade or age}.

Livin' life happy ~ until my next 'rant'.

Time flies ...

whether you are paying attention or not!

I was awakened this morning by the obnoxious, annoying sound of  a rooster crowing.  So loud was this horrible noise that I had to assume it was in my apartment.

Now I know this seems strange - given that I live in an apartment complex where they won't even allow dogs as pets.  So I'm rather certain that fowl would be completely unacceptable.

Yet the rooster crowed and crowed ... and it continued to do so, until, that is...

I was awake enough to tap my Sweet-T on the shoulder and say

"Honey, your rooster is in the kitchen and it won't shut up until you go in there!!


{Translated:   Baby, you left your cell phone in the kitchen and you need to turn off your alarm!!"}

Not a cool ringtone, BTW.

Another realization occurred when last week I woke up to the awareness that I have been married for 3 whole months!   3/11/11    =)    WoW!   cool, huh?   I got a reminder text from Sweet-T later in the day ...                    
          "happy 3mo. BB"

On Sunday I made it to church just barely on time - we set the clocks forward - which works easily for the clocks, what do they care?  No lost sleep there.  But my boys -- now there's some complaining I won't be repeating.

Honestly, I don't quite get what the big deal is over the time switch.  I change the clock and my brain accepts that the hour is gone.   Ta-da, move on.  Once all the clocks/watches are set, so is my brain.

Then again, I'm the girl who forgets my clock is 5 minutes fast and still rushes to the car, to work, only to find that I'm right on time.  hmmm, wonder how that happened?

That's the thing about time, ya know -- here today, gone tomorrow.  Well, I guess it's just too fast to calculate each second as it passes.




I have several blog posts that can attest to never seeing the light of publishing, since somewhere between my brain, the keyboard and the act of clicking the "publish post" button -- another day passes, then a week, and before I know it the topic is no longer even impactful or interesting.

Time flew!!!
