Life is too hard...

I have not written a serious blog post in a long time, because it's much more fun to write about silliness, but my heart is heavy this week, so I have no silliness left.

Work is hard right now. I would explain it, but I don't think it's a good thing for me to talk about on a blog.

I'm feeling some friends around me with heavy hearts also, but I don't know how to help them. One of my friends emailed me yesterday with news that a close friend of hers, a former acquaintance of mine from Illinois, died fairly suddenly and unexpectedly. I know the news is especially hard for my friend, and I feel for her.

I also feel very convicted of my lack of prayer, especially for my friends in need. I wish i could go back to my twenties when I lived in Indiana at this camp where every morning it was automatic that we all spent 30 to 60 minutes in prayer and bible study. We didn't have tv's or computers in our living quarters and were not distracted by useless stuff like I am now. I think I need forced structure, because i don't seem to be discplined enough to create it on my own.

I feel sad.

Some new, non cat, videos!

I'm so sorry for all of you loyal readers (all three of you) who look forward to my cat updates. I have to venture off course here so I can get some videos up. Tonight I taught the elementary kids at church and we talked about generosity. For part of the lesson, we split into two groups and each group was assigned a bible story to read and create a simple skit to. Some of the kids (okay, only one, and you know who you are!) are VERY anxious to see their videos, so I'm posting them here on my blog. I was going to put them on the church facebook page, but I wasn't sure all the parents would be comfortable with having their kids videos posted there. I figured my blog was much safer since I have run most of my readers off with my unwavering devotion to cat updates. Apparently not everyone thinks my kittens are as cute as I do!

So here are the videos the two groups came up with. The ironic thing in all of this is that I had one supposedly shy child who really did not want to participate in the skits, so he was given a free pass. But it turns out he made it in there anyway, with the funniest comment of all! Sorry M!

Cat Video

Just to do something a little different, I decided that today I would write about my cats and post a video of them. They are so cute!

Arrite, so we're like looking for something to watch, and we can't agree on anything...I'D like to watch a horror movie [: BUUUTTT, on the other hand...Kelly would like to watch some stupid comedy movie...She should just look in the mirror, looking at her face is just about enough comedy for me x]
And now she's talking about how I should be like my retarded sister and agree with her on everything....as;ldfkjsad;lkfjdsk;lvndsklfj;dsalf

Lewis and the kittens Part 2

Lewis is doing suprisingly well with the kittens, except for this one weird thing. He likes to bite them on their necks, but they don't seem to mind. They don't try to run away from him and I don't think he hurts them, he just grabs their skin. In the video below, if you turn up the volume, you can hear the kitten purring (when the camera gets right in his face) after he bites it. Strange.

Lewis and the kittens

This weekend we did the big switcheroo with the cats, so now everyone is in their final forever home. That means my parents finally finished their kitchen remodeling project and now have Kate the momma cat living with them. And Lewis is back home with the two remaining kittens, and no one is living in the garage any more. Kate is doing okay at my parents house. She was coming out of heat (again) the first day, but appears to be done with that now. Mom says she sleeps a lot, but is doing fine and will even jump on the couch to sit and let mom pet her. She's coome a long way since i first trapped her in April! I still need to get her spayed, which will happen hopefully this week, once she is dried up from nursing those kittens.

Lewis and the kittens are doing really well too. I can't tell the kittens apart anymore, so I just call them the twins or the brothers. i need to figure out a way to mark them so I know who is who. Lewis has been super good and hasn't attacked them at all. They have tried attacking him a few times, but not much comes of it. The kittens like to hiss at him when he gets too close, but their little baby hiss is not very frightening. And I don't really think they are afraid of him because they follow him around instead of trying to hide from him. This morning they were all running races chasing each other around the house. I'm hoping lewis will enjoy having some new friends around to play with and make his life a little more interesting. Here's a little video of the three of them playing on Saturday, their first full day together:

cat in heat

Katie is in heat. I ended up taking Lewis to stay with my parents and letting Katie and the remaining two kittens into the house to stay tonight. She is miserable, pacing and rolling on the floor and sticking her butt in the air. I thought at least she could be more comfortable in the air conditioned carpeted house instead of the hot garage. And I think the kittens need a break from her while she is in this state, so at least there are place they can run and hide :)

The good news is that apparently cats in heat are very affectionate. She keeps coming up to me and has been letting me pet her alot (the first time she's been okay with petting) and even let me pick her up to move her. I'm hoping this whole episode will speed up the weaning process, make her more comfortable with petting, and then I can take her in to get her spayed soon.

Here's a pic of Willie and Topher resting (the only time they are still enough for a picture) from about a week ago.
