I’d love to know why every time I open this: A certain someone has to do this: Pantries are clearly designed for food, not furbabies!
Furbabies
Sad but True Tale (Or is that Tail?)
The story of my life this week is that of the purple pen. It’s time for grading student finals and editing proposal drafts. Plus, of course, I have my “normal” daily work. So it’s lots of early mornings at work, frantic dashes from meetings to one task after another (after another, after another…) and late […]
Living With a Two-Year-Old
One thing we learned long ago is that our furbabies have the mental and emotional maturity of two-year-olds. And, being kitties, there’s no hope that they’ll ever grow up. While this can be a lot of fun at times (ready to play, anyone?), it can also be a real pain when bits of jealousy, selfishness […]
Morning Musings – Or Why I Don’t Need an Alarm Clock
It’s amazing how simply holding a prescription for antibiotics in your hand can make you feel better, regardless of whether you’re actually better or not. With meds in my possession and a cleared schedule, I am determined to rest this weekend. Getting healthy is a priority. Well, getting healthy and getting groceries, that is. Anyway, […]
How Do They Know?
Whenever I see the furbabies doing something cute, I want to record the moment. But every time I get my camera out, the furbabies refuse to cooperate! For example, the Bridget rolls around on the carpet to get my attention so I’ll rub her belly is just too cute. But this is usually the picture […]
I Spy…Betrayal
What is that I see, cuddled next to The Niece?!? I can’t believe it. Mama’s girl is showing love to The Niece. Shameless.
We Have a Winner
In our ongoing competition for Laziest Furball On The Planet, I bring you our two contestants. First up, Ben. Lover of laps, stalker of soft spots, hoarder of the ottoman, bed, warm laundry and the space between the pillows on the back of the sofa: And contestant number two, Bridget. Difficult to please, hard to […]
Getting the Furry Message
It’s been busy times for me this week – working long hours at the office, working even longer hours at home. Thus not much daily in the ol’ Hayley Daily. In fact, I’m merely stepping away, as it were, from my stack of To-Edit paperwork to type this quick note. You see, I’ve been distracted […]
I Can’t Believe My Eyes
It’s cold. The whole family is feeling lazy. But nothing – not tiredness nor cold, not warm laps nor a desperate need for affection – can explain this: I think we’re inching closer to two sworn enemies snuggling together on their own. Has anyone heard reports of hell freezing over lately?
