Getting Off Work!

Little Kat was sick during the night. He still had an upset tummy and last a slight fever when I checked on him this morning. I decided to let him stay home but I knew I needed to be here to take care of him. He might not get enough rest if there were visions of Wii, unattended in the house. It is hard to get off work at the last minute and I had to administer a test (which Little would be missing by staying home). I arranged for a half day absence and asked my boss if I could get off any sooner. She said I could go home right away and she would find someone to give my test but I figured I was already at school so I might as well stay a little longer. I also knew Black was at home for a little while. I ended up getting off earlier than I had expected and made it home a few minutes after Black left. Little was snug in bed but was feeling better. He was able to keep some food down and he even worked on a little homework. I will be watching him today to decide if I will be taking another day off.

The Return of Black Cat

Momoko worried that Little Kat would run out of color printer ink for his school project. Kit Kat and I came to the rescue. We went to Walmart to get supplies.

Since we were there, I decided to use my Walmart gift card from Grannie Kat. My goal was to buy some cool new ties. Walmart had a few.

Kit Kat liked the pink and plaid ties. I had to pass on those. It was confusing that no ties had prices on them. So I settled for 3 of them.

The people at work better watch out. Black Kat is going to come dressed in style. Well at least the ties will be stylish. Thank you Grannie Kat.

Doing the right thing SUCKS!

Today Little learned that doing the right can be very hard. We went to the grocery store and he found a $100.00 bill laying near the check-out stand. He did not know what to do. I could see his eye bulging and he wanted very much to pick it up and put it in his pocket. I told him the right thing to do was to take it to the customer service desk and turn it in. I was not sure what he would do. I watched him pick it up and walk in the direction of the service desk. He was examining pretty closely. I am not sure if he was checking to see if it was real. He eventually made it and reluctantly handed it over. He told me it was the hardest thing he ever did. I was very proud of my little kat. I told him that could have belonged to someone who really needed it and would be thankful that someone turned it in.

Rock On!

Kit got a Guitar Hero game for the Wii with her Christmas money. She tried it out today and she really rocked the room. Little went to bed before she performed her mega concert so he will have to catch her later. He was eying her guitar before he went to bed and I am sure he will be sneaking her guitar to play in secret while she is sleeping. I am sure he will need her help to figure it out so I am not too worried about him lurking in the shadows. Rock on my KITTIES!!!

Kit Kat on Wheels

Today we realized that Kit Kat will be old enough to get her driving permit (oh boy) soon. We decided to have the diving "discussion" to figure out what we are going to do about teaching her to drive. I am not sure all parents are equipped with the patients it takes and I can only hope I that my relationship with her will not suffer during this trying period. We made a plan and I will keep you up-to-date on her progress!

Secret Wii Game

Yesterday we unpacked our new Wii. We tried to play as many games as possible to get a little taste of what they were like. We had a good time but we did not have time to play any game too long. After the boys went to bed, Kit and I played MarioKart and Super Mario Brothers. We had a blast playing together even though we stayed up very, very, very late. I am not sure if the Wii is going to help with our productivity but I guaranteed to be fun trying to balance work and play!

Home Sweet Home

We just got back from visiting Grannie & Papa Kat. We had a great time and wished we could stay longer but school starts Monday. We are a little tired from the flight but happy to be home. The first order of business is to unpack and go to the store and buy some yummies. Then we will catch up on some movies and try to squeeze in some Wii.
