EXCERPTS FROM A CAT'S DAILY DIARY
**************************************

Day 183 of my captivity.

My captors continue to taunt and torment me with bizarre little dangling
objects. They dine lavishly on
fresh meat, while I, on the other hand, am forced to consume dry cereal
only. The one thing that keeps me going is the blessed hope of escape,
and the mild satisfaction I get from ruining the occasional piece of
furniture.

Tomorrow I may eat another houseplant.

Today my attempt to kill my captors by weaving around their feet while
they were walking almost succeeded. Must try this at the top of the
stairs next time.

In an attempt to disgust and repulse these vile oppressors, I once again
induced myself to vomit on their favorite chair. Must try this on their
bed.

Decapitated a mouse and brought them the body in an attempt to make them
aware of what I am truly capable of, and to instill dread and terror in
their hearts. They only cooed and repeated "what a good little kitty" I
was. Hmmm, not working according to plan.

There was some sort of gathering of their accomplices. I was placed in
solitary throughout the event. However, I could hear the noise and smell
the food. More importantly, I overheard that my confinement was due to
my "ability to induce allergies." Must learn what this ability is and
how to turn it to my advantage.

I am convinced the other captives are flunkies and possibly snitches as
well. The dog is routinely released outdoors and seems more than happy
to return. He is obviously a complete idiot. The bird, on the other
hand, has got to be an informant, as he speaks with them regularly. I am
certain he reports my every move. Due to his current placement in the
small metal room, his safety is assured. For now. But I can wait.

Oh, yes, I can wait....

Before I was a Mom.......................

Before I was a Mom:
 
 
 *I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby. 
 *I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous. 
 *I never thought about immunizations. 
 
Before I was a Mom–

 *I had never been puked on. 
 *Pooped on. 
 *Chewed on. 
 *Peed on. 
 *I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts. 
 *I slept all night. 
 
Before I was a Mom- 
*I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests. 
 *Or give shots. 
 *I never looked into teary eyes and cried. 
 *I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin. 
 *I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep. 
 
Before I was a Mom-
 *I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put them down. 
 *I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt. 
 *I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much. 
 *I never knew that I could love someone so much. 
 *I never knew I would love being a Mom. 

Before I was a Mom- 
 *I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body. 
 *I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby. 
 *I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child. 
 *I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy.
 
Before I was a Mom- 
 *I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay. 
 *I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom. 
 *I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much, before I was a Mom. 

Okay --- funny Motherhood Stories -- let's hear them !!

Just want to get into the Mother's Day mood !

What is your funny story about being a Mom ??

 I have a million stories (feels like a million) of my own but will share one today ---

My son was always running out of shirts because they were getting torn and the buttons were off. I could never figure out why these shirts were being torn up all of a sudden. I chalked it up to hand me downs so I bought him new shirts and still these new shirts were torn in the sleeves , under the arms, hhhmmmm????

So , finally I asked him what is going on -- what are you doing to tear these shirts up ??

I was playing the Incredible Hulk (remember that show??) and ripping out of my shirts.

Well, of course, I was angry (while  smiling on the inside!!) and explained these shirts cost money don't do it again.

My son is now in his 30's and I will always remember that one!!

What's your stories of being a MOM???

What do you do to make extra money ?? LEGAL PLEASE!!

Just need to make a few bucks extra each week -- I can step up the ebay listings , and I will, but what is another way?

I am still investigating the call centers and I will let you guys know what I find out.

Serious way to start the weekend!!

I have been considering working for a call center at home.

Does anyone else or do you know someone that does??

Is it worth the trouble and time -- can one make some decent income?

I like Ebay -- but not for steady income -- just need that steady money coming in that I can count on.
