Feline Friday

I haven't had a chance to update the way I'd like to. Here are some recent pictures of Mouse at play. Linda began to crochet a blanket to help her stop smoking (which didn't work as far as I can tell) and Mouse got very interested in the yarn.

Thursday Threesome

::Routine Scheduled Maintenance::

Onesome: Routine-- Tell us about your morning routine. Do you get up at the same time every day, or do you sometimes hit the snooze button on your alarm clock more often than you should? Do you head straight for the coffee or into the shower?

If I could get away with it, I'd hit the snooze button for hours. I have to get up around 6 a.m. (or I think I have to) just to make sure things go smoothly and the kids get off to school all right. Actually, they are pretty independent and don't need any help. My mother stopped getting up in the mornings when I was going to junior high/high school and I remember I missed her presence. So I guess I just want to be there. I head straight for the coffee if it's made and I make it if it's not.

Twosome: Scheduled-- What?s on your schedule for the day? Do you schedule every minute or go with the flow?

Now that Linda is working days, after the kids get off to school eventually I begin to watch Tomas. I'll play with him, read to him, feed him, watch him play and lately have been napping with him until everyone starts to come home in the afternoon. There is definitely no schedule.

Threesome: Maintenance-- What do you do to maintain your sanity each day in this hectic world? Do you find a little time to yourself each day and meditate, or wait until everyone?s tucked in for the night and log on to the computer or settle down with a book? Or do you run off to the gym and maintain your body while maintaining your mind?

I'm more the person who waits for everyone to be settled and then I read or log on to the computer.
