This is my day so far

[skoosiepants]

6:00am - call work, one hour late for snow (which means I don't have to go in, because today is the "holiday party" and the College closes at 11:30, and my dept is anti-social so we never go, so my boss was like - eh? why come in for an hour or two just to leave again?) so I go back to sleep.

7:30am - Maude scheduled for drop-off at vet for spay. Call vet. *is very lazy*
me: there's snow on the ground, will I make it by 8:30?
vet: well, if you get here late the dr can take others before her.
me: welllllll
vet: or we can reschedule for next week
me: make it so!!!

8:00am - wake up J to tell him we don't have to take Maude to vet cause of snow. He points out that there's only like, two inches of it, it's already raining on top of it, and we have a JEEP. Tell him to shut up.

8:15am - contemplate how bad a mum I am for starving my kitty for surgery and then not taking her, and making her do it all again next tuesday. Try and calculate Maude's age and panic about her going into heat in the next four days before her rescheduled appt.

8:30am - end up in front of 'puter, telling you fine folks how bad a mum I am.

Next on the agenda - decorating for Christmas! Which, come to think of it, would probably have been easier without a manically insane kitten running around. To give you an idea of her crazines: our stairwell is open to the top floor and carpeted underneath (because previous owner was some sort of swinger, I kid you not), and her thing is to take a running leap at them and then hang about upside down with her ears back. Plus, she likes to steal anything she can fit in her mouth and carry them back to her room. Fun stuff.

Your not a bad mum! You just have...ummm...other things to do. Keep in mind that I myself skivved off work today to shop for presents and decorate my tree. The holidays are here! Have you ever noticed how difficult it is to do anything productive (you know, like work) when holidays approach. I can never focus!

Oh yeah, and if you can revive DT by Christmas, I will love you for the rest of my natural born life. No pressure, really ♥

Weeee! Decorating!!! We still have to get a tree, but I have to put out everything else (that the animals won't destroy - the tree should be fun) and then I've got an xmas concert tonight to go to, so I should be in a jolly holiday mood soon! *dances*

no i am a bad mummy. much worse than you i promise.

1) left thunder (a grey cat) and lotte (a pugnacious terrier) with my parents and brother while i went to england for an interview at cambridge. thus denying them love for five days!

2) locked thunder out of my room on the first night back so that i coulod sleep

3) refused love at five thirty this morning because i was trying to find out if classes were canceled.

there.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

Awwww, poor babies! *g*

does your cat CLIMB the christmas tree? eep. It's not up yet, but I imagine she will *dreads*

We still have no snow. We have rain, ice, mist, big dark ominous clouds but no snow. *Is depressed* And they told us we'd have the coldest winter in years. I'm talling you there is a ring os white around London where the snow puposefully misses us. Bleugh.

Yes we need to decorate too. My mum is the sort who decorates a week before christmas just so the decorations are only up for two weeks. Evil women.

snow is lovely *g* I like getting out of work :)

I like having the decorations out for a while, since it always takes so long to get them put around. We have so much!!

My cat odes the exact same thing!


(This was shadow, bringing you useless comments, as always...)

You are not a bad mum; my mum is. A couple years ago, she was taking care of my cat, Aubrey, for a weekend and thought it would be funny to give him a bubble bath along with my two little sisters. I swear, he still twitches when he hears running water.

Maude is totally going to climb the tree. Aubrey does every year, and he hides in the branches and swipes at people who try to get him out. He also likes the taste of the treetop angel's hair so she's partially bald now.

Oh yeah, and if you can revive DT by Christmas, I will love you for the rest of my natural born life. No pressure, really ♥

I second this wish *smiles winningly*

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

A bubble bath! Hee.

The tree is going to be an experience. I just hope it doesn't end up falling :)

Oh, DT. I have no idea where that muse went. I'm still searching. Hopefully it'll be back soon.

Well, we are patient. I am just hankering for a little Draco/Ron or Blaise/Hermione action. You understand. I would never harass you about it. I just love it so ♥

A bad mum, you, Skoosie? Think not of it my dear. You were... er... rightfully concerned about the snow levels and a possible accident .You were thinking... er... ahead. Those roads are deathtraps anyway, who needs them? Get a helicopter instead. And feed the cat.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

Hee. I am such a lazy bad mum!!! And what's more, it's going to be ten times more difficult to get her to and from the vet tues/wed than it would've been fri/sat *shakes head*

[capricious-fae.livejournal.com]

The lazy shall inherit the Earth, sometime I'm sure. It's just that we're too lazy to do it right now.
