oh the madness.

I hate waking up early. This morning my alarm went off and I almost went back to sleep thinking it was the weekend, then I remembered that I have to pick up Olive today which means it must be Tuesday.

I've felt aweful ever since last night when Jake came home and told me that his parent were upset that we had gotten a cat. (we rent our house from them). I had asked them at one point and they were completely opposed. However, to be honest, when we adopted her I wasn't thinking about how they would feel, they didn't even cross my mind. Aweful I know, but I realize that we went about it all wrong. I just don't have the heart to abandon her. Therefore I'm not giving her up unless I absolutely HAVE to. Selfish and immature I know, but I just dont wanna! Anyways,I guess I just figured that thye would lighten up a little, since they said the same thing about a dog, but we ended up getting one anyways and they didn't seem to mind. AH, I'm such a bad person.

I have to change the subject. So I'm at work, I have to work on some invites for Tasha's baby shower and I have to notarize and pull a permit for the city of Safety Harbor. What a glorious day! Anyways, I might come back and recap a little later...but for now I'm off!


peess owt.

EDIT::

Hurray I'm back! So the Jakester brought me lunch, Firehouse subs to be exact and it was SPLENDIFOROUS!! and I got to see my babe, that was a plus haha. Now, I have to drop off some samples in largo and go to the bank...then ocme back and hopefully by then it will be almost time to leave to go pick up Olive!! I'm so excited! (can't you tell??!) I'm supposed to go to the zoo tomorrow but I don't think we are anymore, but I still have the day off to spend at home and do some stuff around the house, so it will be nice. and don't forget the time I will be spending with my new little addition! She's going to be drugged up tonight so it will be fun holding her...AH... alright I think I'm a little too hyper to be doing this right now, so I'm off to run my errands...

my, oh my.

So yesterday we adopted a 3 month, 20 day old kitten. She's a beautiful Siamese, cream colored with chocolate accents.

It's funny how God works...now think about it, really. Last week I had called every SPCA and humane society from clearwater to pasco looking for a siamese kitten. Some can cost hundreds of dollars, be we wanted to adopt one who didn't have a home not only because it's cheaper but because of various other reasons. anyways, almost everyday last week I called and of course, it's the typical "I'm sorry, you'll have to keep checking" response. I hadn't let myself get too excited for this very reason.

Jacob knows how bad I've wanted a cat. My whole life, I have LOVED them and grown up with them, and I don't know what it is. Maybe it's their calm demeanor, or their cute little faces! I just find them one of God's wonderful creations that I'm grateful to be able to experience without all the allergic reactions haha.

Anyways, I had mentioned to Jake about going to the SPCA sunday after church just to check, you never know. Once again, I didn't get my hopes up because the more valuable ones are the first to go... Either way we went. As I searched each kennel for a bud of hope I made sure to give each kitten a lookover because they are all just so adorable with their paws reaching out to touch you as you walk by. There are two rooms with two huge kennel chambers in each, as I got to the last kennels in the last room, I walk around to the other side and on the bottom were three kittens one being a beautiful cream colored siamese. I checked its papers to make sure it was a female and voila! She was perfect! We took her in a room to hold her and she was as calm as can be! We noticed her little tail looked as if it had gotten caught in something, oh but it's so cute. We signed the papers and pick her up tomorrow after 4. I am so excited, I can hardly wait. I hate that feeling, your just sitting and waiting for time to pass by. Point of the story being, the Lord found a way, where I thought there was no way. Some may not think thnk this is a big deal, but trust me, it is! Amazing, simply amazing. This just confirms that the Lord answers prayer.
