Well, the vet visit was pretty inconclusive. Neither cat had enough urine in their bladders to withdraw any so we left them there for the afternoon until they did. The alternative was to bring home "beads" for them to pee on, then wait til they each used separate litter boxes, then drained the urine off the beads, then took it into the vet...or pay $15. We paid $15. They were both SUPER crabby at us when we picked them up. Oh my....the next step is to separate them each into one section of the house and slowly re-introduce them back into the household and to each other. They will be apart for at least a month. Our house is not really designed with this in mind so it could be quite tricky. *sigh* We're waiting til after the weekend though to implement this.

We went to THE INCREDIBLES tonight and it was awesome! I loved it. It was so fun to see somehing really good in the theatre. It had been too long. The animation was great; the story was fun; everything was right on. The Boy was hesitant at first about seeing "a cartoon" but throughly enjoyed himself and was glad we went. Yay!

Tomorrow we head down to Austin for more turkey and fixin's....and tomorrow night a Martin Zellar concert at the Historic Paramount Theatre with my sister & bro-in-law...should be fun...

And now - since the apple pie is freshly baked and cooling on the counter....it is time to retire for the evening....

I should've done this a year ago....

A pandemic game time & conversation (via Zoom)   Well, we're about 13 months into this pandemic and I should've been back blogging then. I mean, I was home an awful lot. I could've done it. But I didn't. I wrote in my actual journal but that's a crazy mish-mash of stuff. This would've been fun to keep just pandemic stuff. Ah well, live and learn. I'll be ready for the next one (no, no, I won't). It's been a year...a year of ups and downs; of being laid off and re-hired; of wondering what to do with my life and starting grad school. We got fish, we got two kittens. What a year.  Kids have mostly been troopers but there have been some tough days. August went back to hybrid last fall, then everything stopped for a while and went back to 5 days a week in February - hooray! Dahlia finally got to start hybrid in.....February? (I can't remember) and then started back in person 4 days a week...but after her first 4 days she was identified as a "

Penguin Shenanigans

Image
For our 2020 Winter Reading program, there wasn't an overall theme. I decided to create my own theme. And the Penguins took over the library! I printed out real-to-life sized photographs of penguins...an Emperor, a Fairy, a Chinstrap and a Galapagos Penguin to be exact. I put them on the walls in one area. My hope was that kids would stand next to them and measure up - and they sure did! It put a smile on my face every time. Above each penguin I included some facts. Usually where they lived, what they ate and any quirky stuff about them. It's always great to be able to provide a little learning opportunity along the way. We also included penguin voting. I always think it's fun to add a pre-math activity when I can. I made 4 buckets with a photo of each of the aforementioned penguins. Kids (& adults) were able to ask for a "voting token" (ie: a saved bottle cap) at the desk and then put it in the bucket of their choice. It was fun hearing t

I figured it out....

and IT'S A GIRL!! I'll do a proper introduction later and the whole story and everything but in the meantime, we had a baby girl. 2:15pm on Friday afternoon (I posted at, what? 10;30am? You do the math!!). Her name is Dahlia Marie and she weighed in at a whopping 6lbs even. 19 1/4" long and so incredibly gorgeous (although, I might be a wee bit biased). The birth was the most amazing experience I've ever been through and my mind is still, well, blown, quite frankly. I am so tired though...time for a quick nap before we try to feed again.
