busy-ness? What about our blog??

As usual, our mom is neglecting our blog again. *sigh* We've missed a bunch of stuff lately.

She says she's busy. She starts her summer term class tonight (physiology) and it's 3 hours/2 nights/week. She is less than thrilled but it will be one less class to take while she is in the nursie program. By the way, she didn't get in for fall like she was hoping so paws crossed for spring semester. She's finished all the pre-req thingies so now has to wait for a spot to open up.

It rained the last two days. on Tuesday, we had over 2" inches in one day. That makes us all, including the Little Monkey, crazy. We don't get open windows and he doesn't get to play outside.

Mom has been cleaning and throwing out stuff. Can you believe she disturbed our nappy spot in the basement?!!!??? We should put the bitey on her for sure for that....

more business

Again, our blog is neglected.

school.the Little Monkey. the MIG. etc etc. Well, we'll have you know that SOME of us were here before the Little Monkey AND the MIG! 

The weather guessers (I think we saw that on Derby's blog!) are talking snow today. That was after talking about ice yesterday. MMMM, not so much. It did rain yesterday, along with some thunder boomies and a few bright flashy lights.

It was nice on Wednesday so the Little Monkey and mom got to play outside for a while.

Mom is watching a little blurpy thing today. SHe says she's the backup for when his sitter is gone or sick or something. 

THe Little Monkey is healthy again, which is always a relief to our mom. However the ickies doesn't prevent him from wanting to play with Conner. 

Dazey has decided she likes to lick the shower walls after someone is done. ANd she hides in it thinking that the LIttle Monkey won't find her.

Me-I just got out of a room that I got locked into for an hour. Good thing I was crying or I could have been MIA for days! Oh, the horror.

Have a super weekend!!

more rain

last night. It rained and boomed. There were flashy lights. A really loud noise was wailing outside. It was very windy. Mom says we were in a tornado watch. And there was a confirmed tornado in the county to the west of us. Mom took some pictures so hopefully, she will upload them for us later if she has time.

In other news, our Man in Green should be leaving Iraq today! They have to spend time in Quwate Kuwait for a few days. Then they will fly to the USA! And be in Texas for a little while. Then home to us here in IOWAH!

when it rains it pours

We bet you'll never guess what happened here today! Yup.................MORE RAIN! Our gramma got 4 1/2 inches overnight! Add that to the 12" they already had. It's just not good. In gramma's town, they had to evacuate a nursing home.

Luckily, we've had no more water in our basement.

We think we are going to build an ark. Victor and Bonnie, do you want to come?

"The National Weather Service says more precipitation is on the way, forecasting heavy rain through Friday for most of northern and central Iowa. The entire northern half of the state remains under flash flood watches.The Weather Service predicts general rainfall totals of from two to four inches in the next 24 hours, with some areas receiving as much as five to seven inches. That would come on top of rainfall totals that have reached ten to 12 inches in parts of northern Iowa.

In Humboldt, residents of a senior care center were evacuated without injury or incident. The town's mayor, Steve Samuels, said that the community has received 14 inches of rain since Friday and that "the ground is just saturated."article about the care center evacuation
(this is gramma's town)
Des Moines Register article

It is thunder booming and flashy lights right now.

Our mom just got off the phone with the Man in Green. Very soon, he'll be leaving Irak to go to Quwate Kuwait. Then he'll go to Texas. Then he will be home! All in about 3 weeks! HOORAY!

ENOUGH!

Our mom has been busy. We've gotten over 12" of the wet stuff from the sky since Sunday. Yesterday our mom discovered we had water in our basement. Not a lot, but enough to make a mess. So, our Ant Kat came and helped mom clean up the basement. Did you know that if kitty litter gets really wet it turns to sludge? That's what mom said. They were down there all day yesterday cleaning. Our litter boxes came upstairs but went back down tonight. They gotted fans blowing and now the floor is dry. She forgotted to take pictures, silly mom!

Our gramma has gotten more rain than us with more coming. They were also in the big blowy storms warning tonight. We has to call to make sure they are all right. There are flash flood warnings out for the whole state throught Friday or Saturday. Lots of roads underwater.

It is doing the flashy thing in the sky right now, more thunderboomers coming and more water from the sky. We needed it the other day but not anymore! We dont' have anywhere to put it!

Keep the Midwesterners (and those in the path of that hurricane/tropical storm, depression) in your prayers.

much needed

It's doing the thunderbooming thing and the lights flashing in the sky too.

Mom is mad that her satellite keeps going off.

She says the water from the sky is very much needed.

Weekend

Hi everybudy,

We weren't around much this weekend. On Saturday, the MTLH and our gramma took the 2-legged kitten to a parade. We're not sure what that is, but they were gone a long time. Yesterday, we had to shut up all the windows cuz it got rainy and there were all sorts of booms outside. The MTLH had to shut down the computer so we couldn't blog. It's supposed to do that raining thing all week, so we may not get to have windows open.

Dazey got outside yesterday when the MTLH took some garbage out. She didn't get far.

Oh!!! We almost forgot to tell you! It looks like there is a GINORMUS litter box in the back yard! We'll have the MTLH take pictures to show you!

Rainy...

It's been kind of dreary here the last few days. it's been raining and raining. That means NO open windows to sit in to smell the spring air and hear the birdies singin'. *Sigh* We've got lots and lots of nappies in though.

And we've been perfecting drinking out of the fish bowl without getting caught....

We only has 1 fishie and he is in a bowl but we likes that graphic up there!

Have a nice weekend!
