My Primary Fear

****

Snookums took his mother to the airport this morning.
Yippee! Don't get me wrong, it's not that I dislike, it's
just that I don't like her. Maybe that didn't make any
sense, but it makes perfect sense to me. She rubs me the
wrong way and I can't stand that she's only 58 years old
but walks, talks, acts and thinks like a person in their
80's. If that's how I'm destined to be at 58, someone
shoot me at 57. My primary fear is that since Jason seems
to take so much from his mother (physical appearance, low
intelligence level, etc), I'm going to end up taking care
of him when I would rather be out traveling or doing
something else. It doesn't help that he's 6 years older
than me. I'm scared.

I didn't get much sleep last night and it had nothing to
do with me. It was our new baby. Zoe for some reason
didn't want to sleep. She went to sleep around 10pm, but
woke up at 12:55am. That would have been fine had she kept
to herself, but she insisted on clawing at my back and
arms and pouncing on my face. I dropped her onto Snookums
chest and she started doing it to him. So, we put her in
the bathroom. Not even 5 minutes later, she started
crying. She's only 6 weeks old and I swear that her meows
sound like a baby crying. She kept getting louder and
louder, until Zeus started meowing too. It was horrible.
So, we just took turns playing with her until she fell
back to sleep around 3am. Who would have though a tiny
little kitten could reek havoc on two full grown adults
(and a full grown cat)! She's so wonderful, though. She's
just what our family needed. A little happiness and cheer.
If only we had gotten a kitten before Jason got me
pregnant. Maybe it never would have happened. I suppose
that's too much to ask of a kitten.

Work was trying today. I wasn't really in the mood to deal
with people, but being that I work with the public, there
wasn't any way around it. Holiday always brings out the
loonies and the scrooges. I had both today. I did my best
to just not pay attention to them. I did my job on
autopilot and got through it. I wish I had a weekday off
this week, but I don't. I like having the occasional mid-
week day off. No such luck this week.

I'm so tired. I think I'll be off to bed now. I'm going to
cross my fingers that Zoe doesn't keep us up again. If she
does, mommy might loss her patients and relegate her to
the downstairs bathroom. I don't want to do that, though.
Ciao.
