Dog Days of Summer

Well no, my house did not burn down. My summer has been filled with many days of nothing special. Just the ordinary that somehow keeps me moving and away from my computer. It has been a busy time for my hubby and I can count on my fingers the number of days I have spent with him. Sigh...

The house has been full of kids, a new neighbor did not believe me when I told her I only have two. There have been friends over morning till night and the ensuing meals, snacks and miscellaneous debris that accompany them!

Today is very quiet here. My hubby has been out of state for five days... and my mommy energy is low. Usually nature gives me a boost of adrenaline, so outside I went to find my perkiness. All I found was my cat. He looked lazier than I felt.

C'mon Tiger... run around! Chase some birdies or snakes! Rub against my ankles and purr!

Nooo, don't be lulled onto the wicker table, it does evil things to your Chi (energy)!

Resist Tiger... just try! Open your eyes and smell the flowers or the rabbit poop ... Please!!

Oh Tiger, you are soooo weak. I came to you looking for motivation, spunk... signs of life!

Obviously Tiger was unable to fend off the temptations of the wicker table, again. Oh well, the dog days of summer are here and the cat has given in to them. Really, it doesn't pay to resist!
