    Pounce vs. The Cat Box

    Pounce does NOT like the new cat box. He hates it in fact. I could say he’s scared poopless. He won’t even go in the room where it is, unless carried. I tried to convince him, as you can see in this little home made quicktime movie. But he won’t go near it. Poor Pounce, we subject him to so much torture. He’s such a good cat too. He didn’t even scratch me and when the whole ordeal was over he went back to taking a nap in the safe haven of the back room.

    I still have a few tricks up my sleeve to get the cats to start using it, so it is not a loss yet. But I’m worried I might have to send it back and get my sister-in-law a refund. Yep, I found out who sent the magic self cleaning cat box. It was one of my sister-in-laws! I should have known. She says, “I don’t want my niece to have a rotting brain.” She has a good point. Taxoplasmosis is a pretty scary disease. Maybe the cats will come around. At least Lily likes the box it came in.

    Pregnancy Watch 6 months

    I was wondering why I had the song “Love Shack” stuck in my head and I finally figured out why. It’s because every time I look in the mirror, I say to myself “You’re as big as a whale!” and then I guess I just sing the rest… ” I got me a car as big as a whale…We’re heading on down to the Love Shack!” Maybe that’s just funny to me.

    Anyway, I do feel really big. Not like I’m moaning and complaining about gaining too much weight (though I do that too). I just feel like I’m much bigger than other pregnant woman at my stage. I went to a baby shower this last weekend and the girl it was being held for was half my size! She’s due in four weeks.

    I guess everybody carries their babies differently and apparently little miss thing is sticking it all out in front. Sometimes I can feel bony parts pushing on my belly button. I think she’s in there doing hand stands horizontally from my back to my front. I don’t seem to carry much weight in the sides and everybody tells me I don’t look huge. I just look big in the front. Even my maternity pants are starting to get tight.

    It’s very strange this whole pregnancy thing.
