I'm a bad blogger

I haven't been writing very much things just seem to never slow down to where I can just sit back and relax. I have been trying to read when I can but it's harder to keep up since I don't get e mails about new entries.

I'll start off with the latest thing that has had me running ragged. As you know I took in my MILs cat and that cats kitten, turns out the mother was pregnant again when we got her. I had already gotten her shots and had her scheduled to be fixed. Well Sat at 1pm she had a kitten, then a 3 pm came #2. That was all we thought we had. I was concerned about the older kitten being aggressive to the babies and trying to hurt them so I emailed Kelli (Thoughts of a Sober White Woman) and she was great about giving me advice.

Then last night at 7 pm Emma tells me Muffin is having another kitten "I see it coming out her butt!!!"...lol. I thought that was the end. Then at midnight I get up to go to the bathroom and notice something laying by the wheel of my bed. it is a kitten that unfortunately didn't make it and the there was another one under the bed that was meowing when it came from under the bed I noticed the mom hadn't cleaned her or removed the placenta. So I tied that off and put her with the other kittens but the mother was doing nothing with any of them. I emailed Kelli again and she gave me all the info I needed to take care of them if the mom decided to abandon them. I started cleaning up some of the mess from the mom and kept hearing a meowing sound. I got to the end of the bed and there was yet another kitten with placenta attached. So after I got that all taken care of I ran to Wal mart for kitten bottles while Eric cleaned the carpets at 3am. I finally got home and got everything ready and the mom was laying on the bed. So I figured I'd lay the kittens with her before using the bottle. They started drinking well, I just had to help the one kitten who was the smallest get a nipple. She was just a little to weak to fight for one herself. But today they have been doing well. I don't think I could have done it without Kelli's help. So we have 5 kittens and in a little over a month they will be needing homes so if anybody local...hint hint Missie...lol we're looking for homes.

That's all I have time to writ about tonight I have to finish cleaning and laundry and plan a birthday party

good night all
