my mornings...

did you ever wonder what goes on here behind closed doors?

well, its so exciting, and I am out of stuff to post, so you are about to find out...

its all about the furr balls...

cleaning the kennel...

see, they are messy...

so you have to dump them out and clean the whole inside...

clean the bowls and refill them...

put in a new towel and inspect the toys for poop...

if poop is found, clean that off...

I was lucky today...

;)

how long does it stay nice?

for a bit...

and the bit is over... 

and I wanted to show this...

this is a vision that came to me one night, after Craig had brought 2 of these home for his room...

his are orange and black...

so I asked him if they had other colors, and he said there was a purple one...

I told him to grab it the next night, I had this idea...

its a large, plastic 3 drawer thing...

and I have used it for a week now and its wonderful!

take notes...

its the poop box...

the bottom drawer is full of litter...

take out the middle one so they can get in there...

the top has my supplies...

scoop, bags, wipes...

its even on rollers...

and the biggest cats have no problems...

and I can clean it myself several times a day...

and no odor...

the other drawer is your spare clean one...

and...

it was on clearance...

$7...

yeah, you can't beat that...

for a trial run...

I will be looking to find a more stable unit if I ever get out of here!

got lots to do!

have a fun day!

;)

got another one heading this way...

here are the doves!

they have made it so far...

I got some shadow shots yesterday late afternoon...

I had to fight the cats for the window...

nobody was looking out until I grabbed my camera...

and my supper...

the guys had beef manhattans again, but mine was turkey...

and yes, I cut my crusts off...

found out when I had to watch my sugar that...

2 pieces of bread with the crusts off has less carbs and sugars than a half of a piece with the crusts on...

 the other one that's coming...

another storm...

and then another one on the next weekend...

its just not allowed in March...

18 days until spring???

I'm not holding my breath...

;)

helped the old man with his pt last night...

take notes here...

1) anyone over 50 should not fall down

2) anyone over 50 should not fall down on hard surfaces

3) no one should ever break an elbow

4) anyone over 50, who falls down, on a hard surface. and breaks his elbow. (whew), should not ask his wife to help him do his pt

I don't mind helping...

I think I might have helped too much...

he wasn't ready for me...

I want to see that thing bend backwards...

yeah, it doesn't go that way even broke...

who knew?

;)

remember all the times you did pt on me?

and when I complained it was too much?

what'd you tell me?

I think it was something like...

'suck it up, buttercup'

I love karma...

;)

I just want him better faster...

that's my story and I'm stickin' to it...

have a super fun day!

;)

I've been keeping busy this morning...

I have wanted to make some collages of around here for my pinerest page... 

and I finally got around to it...

I feel so homesick for summer now...

I cannot believe how fast February has flown by...

and we are looking March in the nose...

I just hope winter doesn't spread its icy fingers to far into it...

I truly believe we have had enough...

whew, all  this gardening, even though imaginary...

has taken its toll...

I do believe its the nap time part of the day...

;)

as you can see...

they left me home alone again with too much time on my hands to play around...

and I have changed up the blog again...

its cold here...

but sunny...

not sure what I am going to do...

;)

They're bbbbbaaaaccccckkk!

look who showed up here this morning...

now that's a flock...

and they stayed around and sung a bit, too...

not bad for a bitter cold morning...

so that means this is ok...

meet Rag Doll...

with some funky whiskers going on...

who loves licking necks while sitting on your shoulder...

can you say cute?

and the rest are a bit blurry...

they are getting pretty good at playing with toys and with each other...

they can lap water...

and they like to try to escape....

they even got a potty box today...

its still pretty cold here...

waiting on spring...

but the birds are a good sign...

DH did his pt today and did really good...

not sore at all...

we both had up and down days...

there were times I felt really good and then times I had to run for the bathroom...

I did get some things done around here...

Craig helped get my bed stripped and all the bedding washed...

he even Lysoled the bed and pillows while I was in the shower...

I had my girlie day this morning...

done my nails and plucked my eye brows...

all that's left is shaving my legs and that ain't happening until we get above 20 at least...

its been 2 months or better since I had had a whopper...

so DH brought supper home with him...

and I ate it...

and I shouldn't have...

it did not set right at all...

I had to go to bed to keep it down, but it worked...

and then the news today about the baby...

I think that is the hardest thing that God ever asks anyone to do...

give back a child...

and so soon...

and for her to have to finish the pregnancy knowing this all...

I gave back 2...

but I never held them in my arms...

or had the chance to finish the pregnancy...

for that, I was blessed...

seems easier that way...

there will be more posts about this...

its something that has grabbed at my heart...

thank you for your kind words for them and for the prayers...

I am sure I will be asking for more...

;)
