purrs needed please

(that is the Little Monkey helping mom make cookies and banana bread a few weeks ago)

Our Little Monkey is sick. He wented to the bean doctor on Friday and is going again today. He's coughing really bad and yakked on mom last night.

Mom is busy trying to study for finals this week and the MIG had a 4 day drill so he's been gone.

We've just been trying to stay out of the way.

So, could you purr for our Little Monkey to get better? And for him and mom to get some sleep, as they haven't slept more than 6-7 hours TOTAL the last 2 days.

ETA 2:30 PM CST: The Little Monkey has 2 nasty ear infections. Mom is mad at herself for not realizing since he's prone to them. He's napping now on the couch so hopefully he'll get to feeling better (and if he lets mom squirt pink stuff down his throat) Thanks for purring!

13 things that have kept us from blogging

It's been almost 2 weeks since mom helped us blog. Wanna know why? Here's why...

1. We had some really nice weather-OPEN WINDOW weather. We preferred to sit in the windows rather than blog. (but now the beans say snow tomorrow 6-10").

2. The MIG and the Little Monkey were sick. Then they got better.

3. Now mom thinks the Little Monkey is sick again. He's coughing bad and wheezing. She thinks it's an ear infection cuz those are always his symptoms (and that's what he had 2 weeks ago)

4. School keeps her busy. She's taking 2 classes this time-a speech class for 3 hours on Monday nights and anatomy (again-she withdrew last time) which meets 2x/week.

5. The MIG's mom was here the other day. We gotted some new toys.

6. Mom's mom was here last week.

7. Mom had to watch a little blurpy thing last week.

8. The MIG and mom went out to dinner for their anniversary- a week late. It's cuz everybody had been sick.

9. We've been mourning the loss of some of our kitty friends.

10. We've been hiding from the Little Monkey (Conner, especially).

11. Nothing exciting ever happens so we didn't have anything to blog about.

12. Did we tell you we had the windows open like 3 days in a row? Two days it got to 60*! In IOWA! IN FEBRUARY!

13. Mom's macbook had to fly away for a while. The screen died (and it was only 3 weeks old!) But it flew away and got fixed and she got it back.

We'll probably be sporadic for a while, but we'll be around. Mom has a really big unit to study in her anatomy class so that will take up a lot of time. And she has to prepare a speech for her class on Monday. And to to a wedding (weather permitting) on Saturday. And make supper for some firends on Sunday. *sigh* we'll see her when she sleeps, we guess.

whiny Wednesday

Yes, we are whining.

EVERY bean here is sick. Cough, drippy nose, sore throats, crud, etc. that means mom hasn't felt like helping us blog. We have visited here and there, but the crud wins.
The MIG didn't even go to work on Monday and that means that he's REALLY sick if he doesn't go to his jobbie.
Mom thinks she might be on the mend and the Little Monkey's nose isn't quite so drippy anymore.
Maybe by the weekend we'll be able to visit and leave comments.

Have a wonderfun (un-whiny) Wednesday.

cold. cold. cold

It's cold. We hate it.

We have the white stuff on the ground. Mom hates it. (not a lot, but the weather beans are saying more is coming)

The Little Monkey is on his way to getting sick. Mom doesn't like that either.

This is me, back in the spring. I wish it were spring now. See, no snow on the ground!

Now Mom is sick

Well, the Little Monkey and the Man in Green seem to be feeling better.
The Little Monkey was hacking up hairballs all weekend. Now, our mom is the one hacking them up. She's been miserable today.

Our gramma came to watch the Little Monkey so Mom could rest today. Geessh, we need everybody healthy at the same time!
