My Lap
For about a year Magic would curl up in my lap and sleep. Sometimes this was for several hours. Then Ether came and has tried to claim my lap since then. But Magic isn’t going to let him bully her and I won’t either. Magic was in my lap this morning and Ether walked up…

The poop has left the building
It’s Wednesday and tomorrow they collect garbage from our bins. Once a week I remove the diaper garbage and clean the cats’ litter boxes. I throw away a lot of poop. Someone has to do it.

Coming Home
Stephanie was released from the hospital this afternoon. She got a shower and so did I. The boys were happy to finally see mama again, and she has much better luck getting the cats into the house than I do. She went to bed early and the boys and I are settling down. Here’s to…

Easy Chair
I’m sitting in my easy chair trying to think of something interesting to write about my day and finding very little that you don’t already know. We been under a heat advisory. Yay, the weather. Ben and I walked to the convenience store. He refused to let the clerk put his chocolate in a bag,…

Today was Hard
My youngest son started screaming this morning. I don’t know why. I gave him his morning pills and that helped for a while. But his dysregulation returned pretty quickly. He was screaming again an hour later and got an emergency pill. He went out to sit in the car, honked the horn for a few…

Black Cat on a Friday Night
It’s 10 pm and Ether is still outside. That always concerns Stephanie and me a bit. But tonight in particular Ben is anxious that the cat is out. He doesn’t like the cats outside but has come to accept it during the day. But at night they all need to be inside for him to…

Ether Got A Shower
There is a black and white stray cat in the neighborhood. We call it Popo after the police. Ether likes being outside but unfortunately is very territorial when it comes to Popo. Yesterday I heard them fighting and found them trying to kill each other in the neighbor’s driveway. I was able to break them…

Hiding in the Basement
We leave the basement door open at night so the cats can get in and out. Our youngest son doesn’t like it when the cats are in the basement and doesn’t like the basement door open. There is a crawl space just inside the door where the cats sometimes retreat. Our son woke up and…

Mice and Ants
We occasionally get a mouse in the house. They don’t last long though. Magic will kill them and apparently so will Ether. Stephanie described how the other day Ether was “playing” with a mouse. It was alive and he was tossing it into the air and catching it. I’m not particularly worried about mice though…
