Ha ha ha ha ha!!

There's an old Yiddish proverb that goes, "Man plans and God laughs."  Ain't that the truth?!?  I set a goal of writting a blog post every week...then I agreed to foster a litter of kittens, so I fell behind by a week.  I'm now fostering TWO litters of kittens, and another 4 month old kitten!!  Add this to my already-full-house of cats and I barely have time to blink, never mind blog, so now I'm behind by a couple of weeks!  All of those kennels to clean, boxes to scoop, spay incisions to check, medications to administer, bowls to fill, cuddles to give...I don't mind though, what else am I going to do with my time?

Kittens!! 'Nuff said!!

Okay, so I've been neglecting my blog lately, and recently posted about challenging myself to write more often.  My goal was a post every week...that's managable, right?  And then I had the bright idea to foster a litter of kittens!!  It sounded like a good idea; my "foster room" at home wasn't being used much, and I know from experience that you should get outdoor-born kittens inside and socialized while they're very young, otherwise they can remain skittish and aren't as adoptable as friendly kittens.  A foster home was needed for some kittens; I had a foster room...made sense to me!

But I'd forgotten how energetic kittens are!!

Don't get me wrong, they are sweet and adorable, and make me laugh with their antics, but I think I'm too old for kittens!  I'm used to rescuing sick, injured, or old cats; they're quiet and tired...like me!!

So.  This counts as a blog post.  Can I take a nap now?
