Homework Surprise

Momoko had a meeting after school. So I got off from work early and picked up Little Kat. The school parking lot was jammed. So I parked on the street and walked over to Little Kat's patrol post. he stands in front of the bus line and makes sure student go in the correction direction.

I brought Little Kat home. We beat Kit Kat home. Usually she is the first to arrive home each day. I gave Little Kat 30 minutes to eat his snack and relax. Then I had him do his homework. About an hour or so later he said he was done. We all waited for Momoko to come home.

Momoko checked Little Kat's homework when he came home. To my surprise, he had not completed his Spanish homework. He had a lot of excuses as to why he did not finish. I was unhappy that he earlier told me he was done his homework. I don't like Momoko coming home late and finding problem like this on my watch. Looks like Little Kat is going to get his electronics confiscated until he gets his school work under control.

Kit Kat cooked us some pancakes and bacon for dinner. I wish I had remembered this was the menu for tonight. I had the "baconator" burger for lunch at Wendy's. Too much bacon for just one day.

Locked Out

Yesterday I had to report to my company headquarters for an in person meeting. The main office is far away. And the traffic to get there is murder. So I got up in the early AM hours, and drove there early.

The day went well. Since I got there so early to beat traffic, I left early to miss the traffic going home. When I got home all the lights were on in the house. So I turned them off, locked up the doors, and headed outside for some yard work.

After a few hours I came in, took a shower, and hit the sack. Later I found out that I had locked Little Kat in the basement. He stayed home sick from school and was in the guest bedroom. How was I to know this? Luckily Kit Kat came home from school and detected something was wrong with the downstairs door being locked. No harm. Little Kat was sleeping the whole day.

Trip Preparations

Today I was scheduled to drive Kit Kat to a meeting. She is planning to go away for Labor Day weekend. They need to solidify the plan. I made sure I got off from work plenty early to grab dinner before taking Kit Kat to the meeting.

When I got home, Kit Kat told me she needed a compass. You know. That's the thing that let's you draw circles. Well I pulled out my old compass. It was not strong. We decided to go shopping for a new one.

The local pharmacy was no help. They did not have that many school supplies. There was no compass to be found. Luckily the grocery store had a pack of school goods, one of which was a compass. Sold. Even after the shopping, Kit Kat and I were early to the meeting.

I decided to take a drive with Kit Kat to see if we could find an office supply store. No luck on that front. After the drive we waited patiently for Kit Kat's meeting to start.

Dinner Less

This afternoon Mamma Kat had a long meeting. So it was me and the small cats at home. Little Kat was supposed to cook us some dinner. He said there was nothing to cook. I put in a call with Mamma Kat.

About an hour later, Mamma Kat called me. She told me to have Kit Kat cook us up some Frankenfurters. They are a recipe from Rachael Ray. These are hot dogs wrapper in crescent rolls. They look a little like pigs in a blanket.

Those dogs were good. Cats like to put away dogs by nature. But I guess we were all hungry by the time the food was done. We all watched some anime on cable tonight. And a few of us celebrated by eating ice cream and leftover birthday cake. Time to go shopping to fill the cupboards.

King Cobras

Mamma Kat asked me to take Little Kat to a meeting with his friends. There was going to be a prize for the first 10 cats that arrived. Luckily Little Kat was cat number 7 that arrived. He won a blue little Nerf football.

Little Kat joined a smaller group of cats. His group had to come up with a cheer for the group. Little Kat and another cat thought they should be called The King Cobras. I thought this was strange. Cobras are part of the snake family, not the feline family. The cats put it to a vote. King Cobras won.

Little Kat's team needed to come up with a slogan. The first part was easy. "Who are we? King Cobras!". Little Kat thought everybody should then say, "We bite you." The older cats recommended a more positive message. So the group decided to say, "What sound do we make? Hissssss."

I looked around the gathering when I had some free time. There were a lot of mother cats there. I spotted a father kat that was on crutches. Mamma Kat was supposed to meet at the meeting. We never saw her. The meeting place was extra warm. It smelled like fish. This should be a good thing for us cats. The meeting ended with a crazy dance by all the kiddie cats.

Nobody Listening

I got word from my team leader that the big boss wanted to have a conference call. All the cats on my team were to call in to the same phone number. That way we could all hear what the big boss had to say. This way supposed to be an important discussion. We were to find out what our next assignments on the team were.

The time came for the meeting. I dialed in. The conference had not started. I stayed on hold. I waited and waited. After a while I thought something was wrong. I called my team leader with my cell phone. He said he thought we were supposed to call in. I called the big boss directly. No answer. I left him a voice message saying we were waiting for him on the conference line.

In the end, the system automatically disconnected me from the conference call. The call never started. Oh well. That was probably going to be a long discussion anyway. With the extra free time, I decided to browse the web. Go me.
