They’re walking! Torti is called Pinto. I think the blond is Fava. There’s a Chili in there too. Or Lima, we’ll see! lol

Ok, they’re off. And I didn’t cry at all. His parents are taking them to the docks for pics. Here are some favorite I took of her around our house…

So pretty … and grown.

Today is Prom Day. And I’m looking forward to it being over. I’ve discovered that Sixx is the absolute worst at planning. I’ve been asking her for weeks if she needed a boutonniere for her date. “No, we’re just friends. We’re not doing the flowers thing.” Thursday evening she jumps into the car “They got me a corsage!” So Friday I had to scramble but luckily found a florist to help me out.

So when is he picking you up?

“We’re gonna meet there.”

Ok. What time do you have to be there?

“I don’t know”

As of this morning she still didn’t know. There’s no time listed in the school’s website. Ended up finding it on Facebook. The announcements start at 7pm.

“Oh and Caleb’s parents want to pick me up.”

Do you want me to curl your hair?

“No.”

Guarantee you at 6:30 she’s going to ask me to do her hair.

Here’s me. My Junior Prom 39 years ago. THIRTY FRIGGIN NINE. How is that even possible?

How 80s is that!? Lol! 1985

Le sigh. Prom day always reminds me of first love. And would someone tell me to stand up straight, please! Jeez, Stoopit photographer.

Picked up a couple books for my son. One to give him a better idea of where his sister is living and the other to teach him about voting.

He says he doesn’t want to register to vote, but I think it’s just his anxiety and not knowing what to expect. If he reads this book - about a mayoral race- and we do some social stories and skill building, he may change his mind. I’d love for him to register and take part.

We’ll see.

I have tried to post something about my Saturday twice now and Tumblr has eaten it both times. I give up. I cannot tap it out again!

#grrrrrrr

So apparently today is our unofficial 1st day of Summer.

#it’s hot

Big ass bowl of grits! Sweet or savory, I don’t care, just gimme!

Same here. I don’t think we’ll ever recover. And our mortgage, which would have been paid off in 10 years, will now follow us into our 80s. Ah, the American Dream!

No one should have to go bankrupt because of medical bills. We have to make lobbying congress illegal bc that is why we do not have Universal Healthcare.

My husband was CRAZY last night. Granted he was asleep, but my gawd, I wanted to harm him.

He had a horrible day so he went to bed at 9. I followed literally 5 mins later. I get upstairs and he’s already snoring. And his snoring is out of control on a normal night, but last night was not normal.

Not only was he snoring, he was talking, moaning, exhaling in my face…I even heard animal noises.

Then there was the tossing and turning. Not unlike Hugh Grant purchasing a mattress. I was all WTAF?!?! I got kicked, punched, pushed, stripped of all the covers. It was insane.

So at midnight, having given up all hope of ever sleeping, I put down the pillow I had perched above his sleeping fucking face and got up and walked to the hall and called to my son telling him to go to bed not worrying if I woke Sir Snores-a-lot. Then went back to bed and that either settled him down or I was so exhausted at that point I passed out no matter what kind of circus was taking place on his side of the bed.

Basically, all I’m saying is if you’re gonna be an ass in bed, you better look like Hugh Grant doing it. I think. I don’t know anymore. But I do like that movie.

I’m so tired.

Thirsty Thursday. Iced Coffee

I’m so behind on hydrating today

It’s Thursday! Where has this week gone???

I feel like it’s flown by and I’ve not finished anything I really needed to.

Monday, my tire alarm went off while driving Sixx to school. Sure enough, front drivers side was flat. Had it patched up … again! That’s twice now. They’re all in bad shape but we’ll be buying 2 new ones for the front at the end of the month when the hubs gets paid.

In the meantime someone’s supposed to be here tonite to buy our old Sand Filter/Pool Pump so that’s 1/3 of the tires paid for.

After tonite’s storms go through it looks like we warm up nicely and for good (at least no weather below 55 degrees) so I can get that tub glazed. We can clean up. I can finish furnishing the bath house and then the airbnb can go live. Hopefully that will ease the $$ woes a bit. I’ve already got people waiting to book it.

Sixx’ things for her prom came in yesterday. She bought her dress with her own money and some help from big sister, and I bought her the accessories - a wrap, a purse, a headband, and some matching nail polish. She should be all set for the ball now. You know you’ll see pictures!

Prom season always makes me think of First Love

Here’s the link to the fundraiser for the TNR (trap neuter release) for the mama cats and the vetting/adoption of the babies if you feel so inclined. This is a small rural organization, no big city funding, they just get by on what donations they can bring in locally, and do their fundraising per project (like the porch mamas) so any help is appreciated and any leftover funds go to the next project in line. No one pulls a salary, they are all volunteers.

Mamas and babies have been successfully moved inside so the babies won’t be hidden away and the mamas won’t get pregnant again. As soon as the kits are weened, the mamas can be fixed.

By the way, we have taken to calling the babies Pinto, Fava, and Chili

Thanks for reading!

Great news y’all! I found a local TNR program that’ll help us out! They’re going to spay the mamas when they’re done nursing and bring them back here where they can continue to live under my outbuildings and on my porch and they’re letting me foster the kittens until they’re old enough to move into their adoption program. So I’m going to be bringing everyone inside (once again) into my guest room until they are all taken care of. I told them about all the tomcats that come around when the mamas are in heat so they’re gonna set some traps and see if they can’t get them neutered as well. Adopted if they’re young enough and sociable enough. So hopefully my run of new litters every 2-3 months is over. I also offered to help with their fundraising to pay for everything they do.

Unfortunately, 3 of the Orange Tabby’s babies passed within their first few days of life. Honestly, I think she had them too soon. They were so tiny. But those that are left - and the Tortie’s mini torte - are strong and healthy. And now hopefully they will all be spared future births and living on the streets.

So relieved.
