Crazy Cat!!
This is our crazy cat Cinnamon,she is so fat and lazy.I swear i dont think she is ever going to stop growing,she is so big she out grew her litter box and we had to buy a jumbo one that should be here today sometime.In the last 4 months she has gone from 6 pounds to almost 15 and is still going strong.Please keep in mind that this chair she is laying in is a big mans recliner.

We had some snow yesterday,took a few photos for you to see,there not real clear but atleast you can see it.

























































Wonder Why??

Have you ever stopped to wonder why kids do the things they do??Take my oldest son,he is married with 2 kids,they are separated and now hes living with another girl and she is living with another guy,his friend,,but his wife that hes not living with is pregnant again and says its his but hes not sure,ohhhh but that's not the end of the story..no way not my son,he has to do it big..no huge..so the girl he is living with has just found out she is pregnant too...that's right you heard it here first....I think I should run a loony bin that my dear hubby and I can move into.I think when he was going through puberty he didn't eat enough greens and it fried his brain...so whats the moral of this story??....Make sure you feed your kids lots of greens because even if it doesn't work atleast you will have the pleasure of watching them try to keep it down because when they get older your going to need those memories to think back on and laugh about.

Thats it for tonight,sleep tight everyone.
