Houdini 2

Somebody wants OUT!

One Down...many to go.

It was my first day back today.

More importantly first long day left alone with her sisters for Muppin.

She seems to have survived just fine, although totally starving, because apparently there was something wrong with the entire food selection left out for her today.

I am an expert at leaving everything to the last minute and the quilt I am making for raffling at the School fair (proceeds to a charity) is not done. I had a go at lying out the bandanas I am using ( donated by kids at school) but there was just too much help going on. Caramello is just out of the shot watching everything. She walked over it all later and messed it up more.

These 2 wrestled and chased all over it ...so much for all my careful washing and ironing.

Here is Muppin on her very first outing in the cat run. I have to prop the cat door open for her and she has only gone in the top bit so far but she totally loves it. Caramello just glared at us because I had ruined yet another of her private things by letting the stinkly newcomer in to it.
She knows that the hole leads somewhere but she just hasn't quite worked out how to get down there yet.....more adventure yet to come!

First day back with the kids tomorrow and I am all ready to go. I have a 3rd year student from the Uni for the next 2 weeks too so it is all on.


 


 
 

Back To Work Looms....sniff...sob.

I don't wanna go.

I like being a stay at home Mum even if it is only to fluffy children!

I like staying in bed till the end of the morning news....then having a nap before I get up.

I like pottering about.

I love watching everything that is saved on my hard drive from last year....and re-watching my favourites. ( I am watching The 3 Musketeers...again....I don't care if the entire cast is in rehab...I love that movie.)

I love lunch time...I love a lunch time that has no duty scheduled in it. Actually since we are going back to a school with no staffroom at the moment I am also going to have to enjoy the ability to have a coffee even more so than usual. AND going to the toilet when ever I want...without informing anyone...although at least at work I usually get to go alone..at home there is always company.

I like napping on the couch accompanied by a sleepy kitten.

It is such a shame I have to work to support myself in the style to which I am accustomed.

And before you go and make the usual comments about teachers havinging too many holidays I say to you...sod off...I work hard for this!

I have already been out to school 4 times to set up my room. I have searched out, purchased, carried, stamped and distributed 34 new dictionaries, and done hours of planning and talking with the 2 newbies. I bet lawyers don't have to drag their own furniture around and Doctors don't have to buy medical supplies for the ER!!!!

Anyway...enough of that.....on to more interesting things. I have been leaving Muppin out of her prison for short times when I have to go out and so far all is well. Her ears remain intact and she retains all of her limbs. Cleo is fairly harrassed though. Muppin LOVES to wrestle her...she sits and cries at her and then does this cute little rearing up move...then she falls on Cleo and forces her to play. Caramello seems to be less in the mood to hunt her down and kill her so that is good. Everyone was in the bedroom last night for a while on the bed without too much hissing and spitting so things are nearly back to normal.

Muppin has a favourite food...well 2 actually...she LOVES any food the big cats might be having and then Beef and Kidney kitten food is sooooooooo delicious...apparently...it smells a bit icky but then I don't have the nose of a kitten!

 
It is also clear that it is impossible to eat this vile concoction without it being all over your face! But hey....I suppose it is the equivilent of us eating tacos!!

She loved this bag. It was only allowed as a toy under strict supervision but it very speedily had 17 holes torn in it so it didn't last long!
