On training

Yay! 

Course, I'm a little ahead of myself, so I'm taking a moment to post here. 

Though ... now that I think of it, I don't think I have anything to say. Oops? 

RP was fun yesterday after work. On MoL only, but was chatting on SGA. Tomorrow (Thursday) looks to be a very busy rp night - 4 scenes! Yack! Today I promised 1 rp scene, so I think Friday will be puzzle pirates.

Oh, and I updated the Playonline viewer ... so now I'm apparently ready to register ... and then download all the game patches/updates and all. I'd have started that yesterday too, but my computer had a windows update it needed to reboot for, so eh - that took precedence.

Mom is retired ....

 So, we had this great 10 year old cat named Jack who
 just recently died.  Jack was a great cat and the
 kids would carry him around and sit on him and
 nothing ever bothered him.  He used to hang out and
 nap all day long on this mat in our bathroom.

 Well we have 3 kids and at the time of this story
 they were 4 years old, 3 years old and 1 year old.
 The middle one is Eli.  Eli really loves chapstick.
 LOVES it.  He kept asking to use my chapstick and
 then losing it.  So finally one day I showed him
 where in the bathroom I keep my chapstick and how he
 could use it whenever he wanted to but he needed to
 put it right back in the drawer when he was done.

 Last year on Mother's Day, we were having the
 typical rush around and try to get ready for Church
 with everyone crying and carrying on.  My two boys
 are fighting over the toy in the cereal box.  I am
 trying to nurse my little one at the same time I am
 putting on my make-up.  Everything is a mess and
 everyone has long forgotten that this is a wonderful
 day to honor me and the amazing job that is
 motherhood.

 We finally have the older one and and the baby
 loaded in the car and I am looking for Eli.  I have
 searched everywhere and I finally round the corner
 to go into the bathroom.  And there was Eli.  He was
 applying my chapstick very carefully to Jack's . . .
 rear end.  Eli looked right into my eyes and said
 "chapped."  Now if you have a cat, you know that he
 is right--their little butts do look pretty
 chapped.  And, frankly, Jack didn't seem to mind.

 And the only question to really ask at that point
 was whether  it was the FIRST time Eli had done that
 to the cat's behind or the hundredth.

 And THAT is my favorite Mother's Day moment ever
 because it reminds us that no matter how hard we try
 to civilize these glorious little creatures, there
 will always be that day when you realize they've
 been using your chapstick on the cat's butt.
