Well sorry to brag. I hope everyone's doing well. I haven't had much of a chance to check sites. I"M SO SORRY!!!! WHAT IS MY PROBLEM???

What if?
What if I didn’t have Thanksgiving at my uncle’s house?
What if they didn’t have multiple litters of kittens?
What if I had spent my time there among the people instead of the cats?
What if I hadn’t returned the outside cat back into the cold?
What if I hadn’t seen the cats fight ferociously over the leftover turkey?
What if I didn’t see a suffering, frozen, suffocating kitten limping, painfully towards the limited food?
What if I didn’t feel sorry for her?
What if I didn’t bring her inside to warm and clean her up?
What if I didn’t do it in secret?
What if I didn’t feed her?
What if I didn’t try to take the food stuck on her sharp teeth out?
What if I didn’t give her something to drink?
What if I didn’t console her?
What if my aunt didn’t find me caring for her?
What if my uncle didn’t come in?
What if I didn’t get so prideful that I offended him in his own house on a holiday?
What if I didn’t cry?
What if I didn’t clean up the rest of the kittens?
What if the FVHA took in barn cats instead of euthanizing them?
What if my uncle didn’t allow us to take one kitten?
What if we didn’t drive so far to “save” one?
What if my cousin didn’t want her and chose the white one?
What if we didn’t take her to the vet?
What if she didn’t have ear mites, lice, dehydration, and infected foot but was the object of health?
What if she didn’t have Feline Leukemia?
What if she didn’t have to die?
What if I never met her, would she have been better off in the cold alive for a time than to die painlessly with an hour of warmth and unconditional love?
What if?

   Life
I know I haven't been on lately. I'm sorry!
I guess I don't have much to say so I'll just tell about this morning. At work, I'm suppossed to be there saturday mornings at 5:45 am. Normally I have no problem with that. Oddly enough, today I did. I woke up an hour *AN HOUR* later than I should have and only because work called my house! It was terrible! If you know me, I can't stand being late for ANYTHING! But this was too far. Yep, my rant for the evening. I've decided to include a cute picture of a cat/dog from the FVHA after every post. Here's Inga!

   KAWAII!!!!!!
I know I just updated but right after I posted my last post, I was going upstairs to bed. When I entered my room I found THIS! *yes my bed is a mess but how do you think he got in that position? I mean, my bed was fairly tidy before and the sheet was flat on the bed! Oh, my George! Ever the creative one!*

   Good and Bad jobs
As like the previous post, this one is double sided: my two areas of work.
First off, the bad job...Yesterday, as usual I had to wake up early to get to work (5am). I had to open the pool (which is the one pool I hate to open--it's too bright and there are windows above it so people can watch me guard, I prefer the quite lap swimming only pool hidden upstairs. My "hommies" are there. But I've now been assigned to this one) It went alright for the morning, mainly because I could listen to the Boston Brass over and over again--Great band! But nine oclock rolls around and lessons start. My one student didn't show up so that was a downer. I went home and was then called up to come back to sub for a co-worker. I hate subbing but if you need a sub you have to be a sub. So I guarded the infatable lobster as kids killed themselves to get on and off it. I swear those kids never listen. I had to tell a kid three times to stop running! So that's my beef on Lifeguarding.

Now for the more joyous job: FVHA. If you don't know what that is it's Fox Valley Humane Association--my one highlight of the week. It went pretty well at first. There weren't many people so I just took some cats out to get some freedom. My first cat however, had extremely sharp claws and was so excited to get attention that it decided to kneed his paws all over me. Needless to say, I'm pretty cut up. I'm used to it so no big deal. Funny story (for me atleast) on my way out, the puppy's room needed to have it's lights turned off. The lady incharge challenged me to do it. I was like "of course, no big deal." She pulls me asside and says "look at those puppies. They'll bombard you once you open the door." By bombardment I just thought come over and love you, so I took the challenge. To my suprise and enjoyment, the puppies ambushed me and several times escaped. The lights were turned off while I was the distraction. I was so worried that I'd hurt the puppies by pushing them back in that it took ten minutes and an ingenious plan to get them to stay in the room, away from the door. I just thought they were so cute though.

   Tonight/last night
It's still unbelievable. Let me explain...Pepband was FORCED to go to the boys basketball game which takes over an hour to get to. There we watch the boys get their butt wooped in the first half (not like I was watching but a friend kept pointing out how much the other team was scoring.) the opposing team got to 18 point difference (I read in REBOUND that once you reach 20 there's no real likelihood to turn the game around). The third quarter, things started to turn around and we got closer and closer. Fourth quarter with .9 seconds on the clock, we scored a three pointer to tie the game! It was absolutely AMAZING! The crowd went MAD! We went into overtime and even though we lost it was such an awsome game! They did a great job! And this is coming from someone who'd rather do her homework in the corner.

But with every good thing, there is something to complain about: Here's an entertaining story, for me anyway. The band has come to a consensous that we can NOT stand having dance and drill travel by bus with us. I, before experiencing it first hand, had thought that the band students were just being rude and inconsiderate. Lo and behold, tonight was that experience. It was constant high pitched chipmunk squeeling! Not to meantion the only things that came out of those girl's mouths were gossip! I mean they took twenty pictures of girls with their legs in the air on a pitch black bus. How blinded would you be by the flash? So now I can safely say: At first I thought the band students were irritable and now I know that their complaints were understatements.
P.S. On the ride home, I made sure that the dance and drill were kicked of MY bus!
P.S.S. Sorry for the rather long post.
