CONGRATS!!!!
CONGRATS to Betsy and Stewart Deck on the birth of their son Lawson born 12/23. (Betsy is Adam's boss). Pictures soon to follow.
Satine...Is now Plotting my DOOM!!!!!
Poor Satine.
Tuesday I was trying to give Katie her meds and down for a nap. I was in a hurry because Bubbaman was screaming that he was hungry. Satine came in the room and I told her to go away which she did. I got the drops in Katie's eyes, sang "Lion Sleeps Tonight", picked her up in my arms and turned off the fan light. I then (without looking) went and shut the door...HARD!
and heard scratching right away. I knew what happened. I opened the door put Katie down and ran after Satine saying "I AM SO SORRY!!!" she went into the kitty room and when she saw me she ran past me and went under the bed. Katie and I both tried to get her from under the bed. I have to admit it was kind of cute hearing Katie say "Come out Satine. My Mommy says that she is sorry!"
After I finally got Katie down for a nap I looked for Satine. She was not happy with me. But she let me pet her.
We went to the inlaws for dinner. When we got home I was getting Katie for bed and Adam came over and told me that he thought we should call the vet in the morning. He said that Satine's tail had a kink in it. :( More guilt. I called up my friend Darwynn who has always had a cat and I got her opinion and she told me to take Satine to the vet to make sure that there wasn't any nerve damage. There was a good sign when I was on the phone with her when Satine jumped onto the dresser. I called the vet in the morning and got a 3:50 appointment.
I called Mam-Maw to see if she could watch the kids and then I tried to figure out how to get a cat in a carrier, a toddler ready, a baby ready and get everyone at the house by 3:30 and then the cat to the vet by 3:50. I decided to get Satine in her carrier around 2:45 so I wouldn't be running around. Adam called at 2:20 telling me that the City Manager told him to go home and to have a Merry Christmas (THANK YOU GARY!!!) When he got home we double teamed the kids and got them ready and in the car. Then got the Satine in the car and listened to her cry all the way there!
The vet took a look at her and then watched her tail. The good news was the tip of her tail was moving. That meant NO NERVE DAMAGE!!! If there is nerve damage then they cannot feel it and they will try to get rid of it themselves. We did not want that to happen. She felt her whole tail and said that there was swelling around the area (where we saw it bent) and said that there could be a broken bone. There is really nothing that they can do about it. She gave us pain killers (in liquid not pills) for her and sent us home. Then we listened to her cry all the way home and went to the inlaws for dinner and took the kids home.
So now I am looking over my shoulder because I know that she is plotting my DOOM!!!

Hee Hee Hee....I've done that...
Back in 1976 (I think) my parents had a party for the group that my Dad worked with. It was the first (and last time) that they mixed drinks. While all the adults were having fun..my brother and I were trying to watch one to the holiday shows (can't remember which one). Well I walk up to my parents (again can't remember which one) and told them that I couldn't hear the show because they were being too loud. This reminded me of that.

Satine
When I got Satine she was a kitten and a Diva. A year later I got Connor and I realized that she wasn't as bad of a cat. She's not the typical lovable cat. If she wants attention she'll go to you. If she is hungry she will bother you. If you are not up at the crack of dawn she will run around the room and wake you up. If you are upset she will bug the crud out of you and not let you out of your sight. If you are sick she will be next to you in bed the whole entire time. If you are pregnant she will be by your side and go with you to the bathroom at 3AM.
Today Katie was sent home because she has pinkeye. It was after 2pm, Katie had a little bit of a fever and was very grumpy. I was rocking her and singing Christmas songs. Satine was outside the door wanting to come in and meowing like crazy. I realized that she wanted to come in not for me...but because Katie wasn't feeling well.
She may be a fuzzy little Diva sometimes...but in her own twisted way she does care about her humans.

UPDATE on Us.....
I know I know I know We haven't posted in a while....
So here is what is going on with us.
November we had Bubba Randal's 5 month pictures.
Isn't he CUTE!!!!
Six month pictures and Christmas family pictures are going to be next week.
Deb/Flo the peacock (or peahen)is still around. Pecking at our back door and driving us nuts.
I'm not the only one who gives Adam the "Keenan" look....
We went to the mall one Saturday and Katie found this hat.
I'm still loom knitting hats. I think Bubba is getting sick of being my model BUT he got a lot of "Oh look at him" and "Oh how cute" so I think he's okay.
Adam's character on Guild Wars got a picture with a frog. I'm sorry I don't know more of the details except for it was around 2:30 early Halloween morning and he was up celebrating "The Great Pumpkin Head" or what ever the heck it is for the weekend on Guild Wars. (I'm sure I will be corrected by Adam on what it is.)
One day I found Connor doing this....
Satine is doing well...Still Queen of the house. Still beats up on Connor letting him know that after almost SIX YEARS of being a part of our family he is STILL a guest and has every right to beat up on him every other day.
I'm doing fine. Busy. No we don't have the tree up. Yes we will have one up....sometime.
