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'.

this is NOT Facebook …




Right?


teens since when do they have censorship power over photos their mom takes?  Hmmm do tell?

Maybe, just maybe it’s because they have SO many friends on FB that *suddenly* the peer power expands -- to censoring a mom’s posts.

Well FINE!    I’m ok with adhering to the not-to-be-shared or tagged, NOT-for-FB post photos
but, I only agreed to keep the pix off FB, last I checked my this is my blogspot  not FB!!!    Hah.

I know ... right?

just a glimpse into the teen vernacular...



" that's what SHE said! "

" T.M.I. Mom "        (too much information...  unless you know video-game-talk = too many items/input)
 
" ... who knew? "


" I'm a teen, Mom ...   it's what teens do "

" Yah, like, right"

" Whaaat? "  (after this one ... the next sentence usually mimics that s l o w speech pattern)

" yah, I know, right?

~
As a mom of a teen and tween, it seems parent vocabulary is seriously affected too...
~
" nice try "

" wonder how that will work out for you? "

" I love you too much to argue "

" that's what PARENTS' say "  

" teens, who knew? "

" hmm, I'm a Mom ~ that's what Mom's do "

" ... TMI gotta love it "

Honestly though I have no complaints ... since in between all the other stuff I still get to hear ...





tee hee....  I know ... right?
