Pockets

Tue, 18 Nov 2008 04:14:00 GMT

Okay I am not sure I understand the relationship between many owners and their cats. Today I was ironing my cloths for the next day at work. I walked away from the ironing board for about 2 minutes and Pockets made herself comfortalbe on my pants which were on the ironing board.

Okay most people would just say, "Toss the cat off and finish ironing."

My first thought was not that however. I thought about unplugging the iron and finishing in the morning so Pockets could stay there undesturbed. Then I thought better of it, but the point is that the thought went through my mind. I am the same person who won't move all night if Pockets is sleeping by my feet on my bed, just so I won't disturb her and cause her to go someplace else for her sleep time.

This sounds nuts, but I don't get the luxory of having Pockets sleep in the bed with me often, so when it happens I spoil her a bit. I am sure that there are readers out there that think I'm nuts, but oh well. I'm also sure that there are many more of you that do the same thing. It's just funny how many cat owners have the same feelings torward their cats.

Cats for the most part just want to be left alone. Dogs always want attention, but cats will tell you when you are "allowed" to pet them and when you are supposed to leave them alone. I believe that it's because of this attitude, that we cat owners get so excited when our cats want attention, and we simply loose our minds along with all reasoning.

I am typing this post from my desk at work while eating "Reeses Peanut Butter Cup" cereal. Mmmm good! I don't have a lot to say, but I did want to post about Gabriel. I am very proud of him. On Tuesday I came home and found out that the kids, (Elisha and Gabe) hadn't gotten their homework/schoolwork done. I was pretty dissapointed at the children, and decided I would help out. Well, I sat down and explained to them exactly what I wanted to see on their schoolwork.

The neat thing is that the last two days Gabriel has been doing his schoolwork exactly as I have asked him to. He has been very excited about getting done now. His attitude has been awesome and he told me yesterday that he was happy that he is now getting his homework done on time and the way he is supposed. It is amazing to see that just a little guidance was needed and Gabe just took off. He now has a clear idea of how to do things, and it all makes sense. He works the best that way. Gabriel is much happier when he knows the rules and exactly what is expected.

It is cool to see the differences between the children. I love them all and am proud of them all, but I did want to mention Gabriel in a special way today because of how well he is doing.

I can't say it enough. God has blessed me more than I could have ever imagined he would. The blessings are also not what I would have expected to be blessings, in my youth, but the Lord knows best and I am so thankful that He loves us so much.

Wow, I didn't actually have my warning email setup and I didn't notice anyone actually posting comments here. That rocks!

I have now turned on email alerts when people add comments. I am sorry to Bill and Erik for not sending back emails or commenting on their comments.

Okay on another note, everthing is going great here at the Silva House. Jubilee is doing great and you can see pictures of the home birth here. (don't worry, nothing revealing or gorey, I promise)

Talk to you all later, and I will do better at keeping in touch with those who make comments. Also I will try to stay in better touch with my friends in general.

I don't have much to say here, but I wanted to at least have one blog entry.

Elisha is watching me type and she just smiled because she saw her name ... now she is giggling.
