It's Been Forever

Life has been CRAZY BUSY these past few months. I have become even more involved with our local humane society and have fostered multiple kittens, several who have needed bottle feeding for a few weeks at the time. This means getting up every 2-4 hours throughout the night when they are small and you are also limited in how long you can be gone from the house.  Right at this moment I have three bottle feeders who are transitioning to wet food but still need a bottle 3-4 times a day. I am sitting on the bed typing this on my phone while a little grey tabby girl hangs out in my lap and a Siamese boy lays on my chest. Their little brother, all black, is in bed. 

I have a little more freedom now that they are a bit older and I am getting more uninterrupted sleep at night so I feel like doing things during the day. Things like, oh, cooking and cleaning. So my husband is a bit happier too. Ha!  

This week I have my nephew since we are in the week between kids' club (summer daycare) and the beginning of school.  Yes, here in the Southern U.S.  we send out kids back to school in the humidity of early August. Ugh. Yesterday I had some shopping to do, plus other errands: pick up scrub pants for Mr. GV that were altered at the dry cleaners, pick up his antibiotic because he got a bad dog bite Sunday while riding his bike that required stitches, and drive to my mom's town to check on her cat while she is on vacation. 

Today's plans involve going swimming with my nephew and them playing some Disney Infinity with him. I might actually get in some reading!   We need to take two other older kittens that my sister and nephew are adopting to get their rabies shots but I'm not sure if that will happen today or Thursday. 

I miss blogging and hope to get back to it. I need to remember that I have the Blogger app on my phone and perhaps I can get out a post every now and then! 

Here is Alvin, one of my current bottle feeders.  Excuse his cruddy eyes. They all have a very common kitten ailment right now where they get weepy eyes. They are getting ointment on them twice daily but it makes a crusty mess. 

Pile o' kittens
