Routine

Tomorrow is the last day of camp for both kids. K-Girl will have a camp continuing throughout most of the summer, but other than a week long soccer camp for E-Man in August (and that's only an hour each day) this is it for him. I've fallen into routine with our mornings. I still press the snooze a few too many times and leave us to rush to get to camp, but once I get home I slow down and enjoy the quiet.

The first thing I tend to do is brew a cup of coffee and grab my computer. When the coffee is done I sit at the kitchen table and write blogs/read blogs/facebook/etc. I'm not the only one that has fallen into this routine though.


Agent C


Enter "C", Agent C if we're being proper. You may remember her as "our outside cat". Or those who know me personally may know that our outside cat was in fact a female... was in fact pregnant... did in fact have 4 kittens under our deck... yeah that cat.
Short catch-up for those not in the know, we took care of all her kittens and the momma, fed them all. Once they were too big to keep outside without worrying about them getting away we brought them inside until they were between 9 - 12 weeks old. We found homes for all 4 of C's kittens and we decided that we would keep C. We got her spayed so we can insure no more kittens and she's inside full time now. She's a great cat and Jack is finally not the third wheel to the other two cats. We have two sets that are very fond of each other.

Soooo anyway, back to what I was saying.

C has noticed my routine and has found a way to embrace it. Every day as soon as I sit down she jumps up in the chair right around the corner from me. She'll "talk" to me until I start petting her. I'll pet her for several minutes as I read and sip my coffee and then eventually she gets down when I need to use of both hands to type for a bit.

Unfortunately then after the coffee cup is empty it is time to get some work done, albeit in a quiet house. Today it is time to tackle the closet. I have said this since, I believe, the first day of camp. I'm going to try a different tactic today.

See horribly unorganized closet...

And next time I come back I need to avenge this horrible show of clutter with a neat and tidy organized closet.

Of course you also know that with me saying that, I'll be back in say oooooh maybe November sometime.  ;)
