Won't do ten thoughts today. I only have a few thoughts and I don't wanna cheat again by stretching it all out into ten.
So ... I finally got rid of the three extra cats around here today. Married Son did most of the work, from chasing them down and getting them into the car, to digging then out from under the car seats, to carrying them into the shelter. He ran into a cat lady in the shelter, she's already put her bid in on adopting them. That makes me feel better knowing that they'll be taken care of and not in the shelter for long.
We kept Ringo and Shiloh. Shiloh is Alien's cat. The two get along real good. Ringo is an easily stressed animal, and I'm sure that this will help him in the long run.
Notice I say "long run" ... I will have another cat and a puppy moving in here within the next week. Of course, with that other cat and puppy will come THREE human bodies. Married Son, DIL and Grandson need to move within the next week and have no where else to go on such short notice. So, of course, being the nice mommy I am, I told them "sure, you can stay here until you find a new place to live".
Goddess help me!!
And I do mean short term!! I want an empty nest. I NEED an empty nest. I love my kids ... I really do. And believe me, saying "sure" wasn't easy for me. BUT I can't see them out on the street, ya know? Especially with that little one. Three year old boys need a roof over their little heads ...
And add that Single Son is still interviewing for jobs at different Law Enforcement Agencies across the country. It could be another three to six months before he finds one!!
Think I'll ever get my empty nest?
Nope am thinking the empty nest is going to be far from empty for quite awhile yet!
ReplyDeleteIts a shame married sons place didnt work out for them, hopefully next time the house will be in tip top shape and so will the landlord!!
