Off of the fun for a bit. I have bronchitis and have been sleeping practically the whole weekend. The two kittens have been sleeping with me on the couch by their choice. . They may be relieving some of my stress.
Back to sleep. Kat

I just thought I was over it when he came back and knocked me out. I don't think I was awake for more than 3 hours yesterday. I hope the 2 perscriptions help cause I am really tired of my coughing/gagging spells.
I think the kittens see me as a "mom" because I try to stay in the livingroom with them when I am home. The kids are elsewhere doing their thing. I know they will grow up soon and maybe the cats will forget me.

The cats won't forget you but they're not like dogs either- which is a good thing IMO. They're just a bit more independant.

Boy was I not feeling too good when I wrote that! Feel a bit better this morning. The kittens have been a nice surprise to me. I really am a dog person but I love lap cats. I am also glad I said yes to two. They rough house with each other and I am constantly reminding the kids that they are not the cats toy. They can play with the kittens using a toy but they aren't supposed to be teaching them to nibble and scratch at them!!
Yes cats get more independent which is fine but come curl up with me now and then. Don't ignore me completely.
So my goals over the next two weeks while still trying to feel better: celebrate D11/12's birthday, work a bit on the house each day so I won't have a mad rush of cleaning right before Thanksgiving, go see Harry Potter and get well.

The meds seem to be helping as I haven't had a gaggy cough yet(knock on wood)today. so little hitch in weekend plans as S18 has his Sr pics being done Saturday and silly me didn't put 2 and 2 together that it was the same day I was wanting to celebrate d11/12's birthday. I will have to wait and see what his schedule is and go from there.
Setting up a major goal for myself: a life makeover. I have done a bunch of emotional work and I really need to get the rest of me in better shape. Finances are actually pretty good. I have been doing well rebuilding my history with the car and house and a VS(Victoria's Secret) card. I did apply for a credit card to just help rebuild my credit a bit faster and don't plan on having any carry over charges and it might come in handy if a minor emergency strikes(but I really don't see why they won't accept my VS card for that!!)I got approved for that.
My car is all back to good. I also had someone careless let their grocery cart ding my car a few monthes back and I got that taken care of.
I have S18 settled on atending the local college for a couple years until he gets his feet under him at least and can maybe get a better car. He has already been awarded a couple 1000 a year renewable scholarships from them and he has a few more he wants to try and get. This is the college I went to and it is only 9 blocks away so not a huge strain on his car for now. He may transfer to KU after that but we will have to wait and see. His Dad isn't thrilled as I think he was hoping that S18 would decide to live with them next year since the college is in Lawrence. I have told you he is delusiona;!!

At least you have kitties for comfort. I think animals are much better company than people when you're sick.
