I just wanted to share this video with you. It really made me cry because my husband was in the Army for 8 years and I have seen my share of fallen soldiers. We had protesters here at funerals and it made me SO ANGRY, how dare they call themselves Christians!!! I also grew up around bikers, I don’t remember a time before my dad had motorcycles and I know how big their hearts can be!
Well, the proof is clear, the guilty feline is FB1. 5 1/2 hours into the video, I watched her pee on a sock in my hamper. Both cats were curious, on several occasions I watched them sniffing the sock, but FB1 was the only one who acted.
Of course, this does not free FB2 of any culpability, it just means we need 2-3 more nights of surveillance to rule him out as a suspect.
In the meantime, FB1, aka ‘Pissy, the prissy-cat’ gets to visit the vet, and I get to get new laundry hampers and get to treat the area with an enzyme cleaner. I have already come up with a plan on secluding her to the 3rd bathroom if need be for behavior modification. I am also thinking of replacing the 2nd box I have now, with an uncovered box.
Anyone else have any ideas on how to deal with a cat who is urinating outside the box?
Austin and Chris are back in school. I had to tell them twice to take off their backpacks, they had put them on 20 minutes before it was time to leave; are they excited do you think?!?? With the house empty, I have been bored! I can’t believe it!! So far I have washed the slipcovers, hand washed the dishes, cleaned the highchair, hand-washed a load of dishes, fed the baby, bathed the baby, all before I had my breakfast. I also re-uploaded the slideshow videos I made of the boys last year, they had been removed from inactivity; you can see them HERE.
So now what do I do with my day? It’s 11am and I have a quiet house to myself. I have to wash diapers today once Matthew wakes up, and I would like to vacuum today and maybe clean out my car. After the boys get home from school it will be a rushed evening as they have Taekwondo tonight. I am also waiting on a phone call from the doctor’s office on how they want to evaluate Christopher for some sensory issues he is having.
No need to walk the dog, she’s sleeping in the kitchen right now walking herself in her sleep…LOL
So, last night I taught Matthew a new trick, and of course as soon as a whipped out the video camera he quit doing it, so daddy helped. He’s such a ham.
Its thundering outside, so I am hoping for a nice wet thunderstorm sometime soon, we really need the rain.
Bobby is all packed and ready to go tomorrow afternoon. I’m feeling pretty relaxed right now, but something tells me I am in for a few more sleepless nights before this is all over with.
I woke up this morning to Matthew screaming his head off in the bathroom. Seems Daddy wanted a shower and Matthew was none to happy about being excluded. He tried distracting him with toys, putting him in his swing, bringing him to my bed, having me nurse him, but as long as he heard water running, he wailed and screamed for da-da. Daddy ended up showering with Matthew on the floor of the shower happily playing with tub toys.
Austin brought home his mancala today from art class. I will have to get a picture of it in the morning, its pretty amazing. He’s been working on it for weeks in Art and it turned out fabulous!
Christopher’s been extra sweet lately, I think he can sense my frustration with him & Austin lately about slacking on their chores.
Matthew took 6 steps tonight, unfortunatly I only for two on video.
I have now added a link to my middle child’s video. I am in the process of making the baby’s.

Well, I will give Bill some credit…. his designers made a really great program in Windows Movie Maker. So I spent all afternoon scanning in older pictures of Austin and compiling them into a movie. I feel I did pretty good too…

Me: Heather, thirty-something mama to five wild kiddos. With such a broad age range, I can easily be nursing a baby while helping with Algebra homework. If I ever get spare time, I enjoy technology, knitting, reading, and just hanging out with my kiddos.
Bobby, my best friend and partner in crime for all of my adult life. Ex soldier, turned computer geek, he's traveled the world and then some. Truly an awesome husband, and dad, even when he is almost 7,000 miles away.
Christopher - 13. My professor, he always has a fact ready for any situation. Christopher loves math and science and is especially interested in the weather. Christopher loves to get lost between the pages of a good book.
Matthew - 6. My silly little jester. Matthew can make anyone laugh with the hilarious things he says and does. We are easily amused with his "Matthewisms", even as a baby his timing was impeccable.
Sophia - 3. The princess. With 4 brothers, it is easy to see why Sophie is such a diva, but behind all her drama, she is genuinely the sweetest kid I know. She is quick with a hug or an "I love you" and touches everyone she meets with kind words and a smile that lights up a room.
Liam, born 12/28/10. The n00b. Our 5th and final. Lovingly nicknamed "Mr. Grabbyhands", and about 300 other nicknames. Liam is easy going, laid back, cuddly, and sweet.
