hmmmm.. where to begin?
here i am at yet another horrible hour of the day again. i have already been up for an hour today. i was up at almost 1 am, too, but was able to get a little more sleep-- only to wake up again at about 330. wth?
the stupid dogs had some kind of mental attack at the same time last night at almost 1 am. i had only been asleep for about 2 hours by then. i don't think i was even fully asleep yet..or maybe i was just gettin there. regardless, it cost me about half an hour or more of sleep to get them taken care of. times like that i want to be animal-less.
well.. dogless.. the cats are a whole story in themselves. most of you know already about my stupid cats. which are not even mine... they are soulkids-- but she has almost zero responsibility with them. and they are most destructive when it comes to furniture, nik-naks- and any clothing that may find itself on the floor. UGH. several days a week i wonder to myself-- why do we STILL have these damn cats??? the answer is always the same. because soulkid loves them. and as much as i hate to admit it-- we love them too. little bitches. part of me hates them.. but not enough of me to "dispose of them" they really love us too. we are all they have ever known. they would be lost without us. and "spot" .. good Lord. ANY other human being would strangle that cat within the first twenty four hours of having her in their presence she is the most neurotic cat i have EVER laid eyes on. but when she is calm.. she is just the sweetest little cotton ball of a kitty you will ever see.

anyhow-- speaking of animals.. some of yall know that soulkid also has two mice? well.. make that ONE. yesterday, soulman decided he should check on their wellbeing. seein as soulkid just isn't the best pet mom in the world. she never has been. i don't mind taking care of cats and dogs-- and i or soulman usually do -- or if not-- we will ensure that she does... well.. when the mice came into the picture-- i made sure that it was KNOWN by all... that i would NEVER touch.. feed water, or clean up after a damn mouse ! turned out-- maybe i should have. but , soulman had taken on a bit of that role-- we both would remind her to feed , water or clean the cage.. and occasionally soulman would do that deed. anyhow-- yesterday .. soulkid was taking a nap after ortho-- he went in her room to check their water-- it was empty, so he brought the cage into the kitchen to fill the water bottle etc.... and there was poor "mouse #2"... deceased. he was the one with the most personality.. if thats possible.. and everyones favorite..if that's possible with a mouse. the other one is alive, but when he gave it water it drank like there was no tomorrow.
hard to say how little mouse #1 will do from here. he is prolly pretty sick. but may be alright if taken care of from here. but i don't know. i'm not no mouse person. she was pretty bummed out about it.. and guilty for sure. but reallly--we can't be positive it was lack of water-- because-- the other one was ok.. and she said they were both alive that morning. so who knows.

anyhow--
in other soul news


TOMORROW--- is the day that jamie/simonsays--and i will meet up in wichita ! woo hoo ! i cannot wait. it will be a very short visit-- but most have been. this will be our fourth visit together and the longest was when she and her hubby came out here-- but even then it was only a day. the other few have only been for a meal. wichita, and iowa. this one will be an overnight stay, but we both have places at our homes that we need to be in the afternoon on thursday so will be leavin at the crack of black on thursday morning. kinda sucks , but it's better than nuthin.
(wichita is our half way point- about 6 hours or so, and this time we won't be needing chauffeurs.. ie- hubbys. due to our levels of pain). not that we don't have pain.. we are just more willing to deal with it-- . we will most likely be in pain and exhausted when we arrive there-- but we will manage to get some photos and maybe dual blog for y'all IF we are computer saavy enough to figure out how to get online at the hotel--if they have internet. :))

other than that-- today i will be buried in errands, and soulkid appointments, and trying to get the soulcrib ready for my absence. such as cleaned up-and stocked with at least a bit of food.
then of course the never ending bills to pay.
seems i can never leave this place for any length of time without feeling like i'm leaving for a month. i always need to make sure everything is ready for them to be ok. ya know.
just one of my quirks. it's nice to feel important on occasion i reckon. :))

anyhow-- that's about it.

i'll be cruisin around later-- sporadically of course-- seems to be the best i can do lately-- sorry bout that.. i'm tryin. :))

happy tuesday peoples!

Do you like to drive? Hopefully it will be relaxing. I always listen to audio books. A great way to pass the time.

You and Jamie will have a great time together. I can't wait to hear about it.

No more pets for Emily here. She never takes care of them. We've only had hamsters and fish. They don't last too long.

CRUSTY MOM-E said...

awwwwwwww, I do know what you mean about mice and their personalities..besides the fact that the have a smell to them, they are quite good pets to have and I have seen many with cute dispositions. Poor baby. :(

BUT!! YEA!! You have a ROAD TRIP! Do you have some music to set the stage for the roadtrip Something to get you in the groove of your friend?
Perhaps A SOULJAM cd? HAHAHAH!!!

Enjoy your time, and please drive safe..
looking forward to hearing about it when you return.
Always,
Elizabeth

SOUL said...

hi cheryl...

i used to absolutely LOVE to drive.. now, not so much-- i like it til it begins to hurt-- then it becomes a chore.

i do like the time alone tho -- my music, my time, etc. ya know. any other time in the car-- i get a headache-- loud kid tunes-- arguing.. ugh. i'd almost rather walk sometimes :))

i'm with you on the no pet thing-- but we have had the cats since she was like 8-ish.. we THOUGHT she would do better... sushi-- was a "replacement" for one she had for a couple years.. and more my decision than anyone elses. and at the time-- a bad decision.. but now she is like a baby to us. so i don't mind taking care of her. and you already know how eevee came to be..

sooo-- there is the tale of the tape basically. :O

so i reckon there's no turning back.
i do suppose mouse 1 will croak sooner or later-- they fall right in there with hermit crabs, fish and hamsters-- short life span whether they have good moms or not usually.

the cats-- i HOPE and pray that they leave when soulkid does-- as far as sushi-- hard to say-- i would keep her if i had to-- but she could go too if i knew she would be taken care of. but the cats? the sooner the better.

am i bloggin in my box again?
oops...

i got thangs i should be doin..so i should shut up now..

happy tuesday--
what's yer plan today?

SOUL said...

that's funny crusty-- i had thought of makin a cd for the trip-- souljams is a perfect title for it ! thanks i just may steal that! :))

yep-- it will be a great time.. as long as we both don't end up napping our entire visit away due to our recovery from the long drive -- wouldn't that suck!

anyhow-- we will both surely have stuff to talk about upon our returns...

SOUL said...

ola smocha--
i think if the weather is nice there today you should take the kids out on your boat-- don't you think they would like that??

i don't think there are many good movies out right now-- and i don't really know what else kids like to do at that age.
i know MINE is a shopaholic ! an expensive one at that!

but i don't know 'bout boys :(

but yup--they'd like the boat- i think. and FOOD

good luck with that-- :))

ps--- have you never watched wizard of oz?
gone to school?
watched the news?
sent your kids to MY HOUSE IN WICHITA??? LOL
yes it is in kansas LOLOLOL

never call me stupid again.

Brad said...

I love the new fishy pic in your sidebar!

Maybe tell soulkid not to be too hard on herself but learn the leason and take more of an active role with mousey#1 and the kitty's? or do I sound preachy ?

Have fun with Jamie. You two give each other a hug for me!

Mary said...

Poor mouse. Perhaps guilt will make soulkid more aware of the needs of her pets.

Hope you and Jamie have a blast. I know you'll enjoy your time together. It makes me happy to think about the friendship the two of you have. Travel safely.

I hope that you and your friends have a really great day! I remember when I was 4 which meant that my sister was 12 and she raised some mice and they had baby mice which the mom mouse did not like the babiew who knows why so killed some of the babies...the part i remember most is the babies being around the size of a teaspoon and my mom flushing them down the toilet...and thus ended the science fair project my sister was doing..she had a black mouse and a white mouse and was going to see when they had babies how many would be white and how many black but they did not live long enough to get fur.
years ago when i was in my 20's a friend of mine convinced me to have two baby rats and well i did NOT do well at taking care of the rats..they kept getting out of the cage and on on.....plus i was a live in nanny at the time so the couple did not like understandably the rats being loose with 5 yes 5 children 5 and under.......both doctors....what a time that was sometime i will have to blog about that.....anyway enough about me and rats and mice.....i do hope that you have a really good few days

MOUSE!!!
Ok, I can't go to TX now, because there is a Mouse!!!
(I'm just being silly here)

But really, I'm pretty useless, I'm so afraid of mouse.

Raine said...

thats way cool you guys are meeting up. Have a wonderful time!!

Jessica said...

Oh I wouldn't do a dang thing for a mouse! Hate the things!

Have fun in Wichita!!!

Portia said...

Oh no, poor SoulKidd...rest in peace lil mouse no. 2. My mom let me get two cats when I was ten....and they drove her nuts this whole time...over 15 years! And I DO mean NUTS. They both passed away in the last couple years. I felt bad for all of them (cats + mom) but it's not like I was gonna take them to college with me, or on all the misadventures that came after.
