What time is it??? or How to Keep Mom Sleeping...

Once again I had trouble getting to sleep last night.  Well, evidently my family decided that they shouldn't wake me up as they went through their morning routines.  The cats conspired with them to keep me sleeping by putting me in the Triangle of Sleep.  Zaphy took up the window seat spot.  Mister Kitten was opposite him on the bed and Star was up beside by my head.  I was toast.  I woke up just enough to remember my husband's farewell kiss as he left for work.  "Ha!" said Da Boys, "She is completely in our power!"  With Thomas at my feet I had no choice but to sleep until... 11?  12? 

"Ah-ha!  She is in our power!  Let's make her sleep more Boys!"

 I am still being bombarded with Kitty Power Vibes.  There is a front coming in which means that I'm having a fibro & arthritis flare (joy of joys!).  As a result, Zaphy is guarding the window ("That makes the weather stay away, right mom??").  Mister Kitten has just returned to the bed after his morning adventures ("Hey mom!  I helped you stay asleep, but I gotta have my morning adventures!!").  Star is going back and forth between his usual poking about under the bed & around my things whilst trilling at me ("I need to make sure you're still paying attention to me, mom!") and getting up on the bed and trillpurring at me ("What does that mean, mom??"  "It means that you're trilling and purring at the same time, Star"  "Oh.  Do other cats do that, mom?"  "Very few Star"  "Huh.  I wonder why?  I'd better finish teaching that to the kitten.").  He's also trying to use the computer.

The bag... in honor of Earth Day!!

Kat Pile!!

I had trouble sleeping last night and finally got up for a bit.  When I came back to bed, I got mugged.  Star got onto my feet, Mister Kitten snugged onto my side, and Thomas just plain laid on my chest.  All so that I would lay down and rest.  ::grin::  Kat pile!!  We changed positions a bit but this went on until I finally made it to sleep.  I would like to thank all of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Kitty Horde members who made this possible.  You know who you are ::cough not Zaphy cough::  The fact that I got new eat-trays from the store yesterday had absolutely nothing to do with this!  ::whistles innocently and stares at ceiling whilst rocking back and forth with hands behind back::

Thomas: "You know, laying on mom is hard work!"

Mister Kitten:  "You're right!  I need a nap now."

Thomas: "zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz"

Actually, all of Da Boys have abandoned me for the nonce.  ::sigh::  I am all alone in the bedroom.  This is probably due to the fact that a) it's a nice day b) they rested a lot last night and it's time for a bit of a romp and/or c) they've all had morning eat-trays so they don't need me at the moment!  Which reminds me, I wonder how long it will take before they learn pig latin??

heh heh heh!  points to the small pet bowl... Gray Cat Approved©!!

All I Want is a Cup of Coffee...

I woke up late today.  I blame the Teenage Mutant Ninja Kitty Horde.  No, really!!  They were all over my feet & legs so there was no way I could get up.  I just had to go back to sleep!  I mean, really, move all of Da Boys?  Ludicrous!  I finally got up and went to run two errands.  I needed to go get some new shirts for my husband (yay consignment sale!) and hit Krogers for a few things.  As he always does, Star came up to me to greet me.  I set the backs inside the door but he didn't go inside.  I think he realized that I was going to move the car around back (no place to park in front).  I came inside and unloaded the bags. 

 "We like to teach our humans how to sleep properly!"

Ooops!  I missed buying one of the things I'd put in my bags to get and then realized that I needed to get more milk as well.  Off I went back to the store.  Fortunately my Krogers is just around the corner!  I popped back in and got my two items.  Jiggity jiggity home again, home!  Oh look!  There is Star, waiting for me.  This time he went inside.  He evidently knew that I would have to go back out again!  I just wish now that I hadn't missed my morning cup of coffee!!

"I wonder how much coffee mom can fit into this bag??"
