We are an at-home family.
I am a stay-at-home mom.
Blog-Stedman now works from home.
My two youngest are not in school.
My oldest is partially home-schooled.
At home. At home. At home. At home.
When blog-Stedman was considering making a change to work entirely from home we had quite a few discussions as to how all this at-home-ness would work.
I was concerned about his ability to work over the usual noise in the house. He dictates reports.
I was concerned about his ability to sleep over the usual noise in the house. He works a lot at night.
I was concerned about his ability to get three square meals a day at the house. He used to eat one meal a day at the hospital.
We plotted, planned and changed.
The boys have adjusted.
Blog-Stedman has adjusted.
I have adjusted.
Scooter has not adjusted.
Scooter?
Yes, our cat.
Scooter, our cat is currently driving us insane. He used to do his own thing during the night. Now that blog-Stedman is up, Scooter spends his night trying to garner attention. When he gets kicked out of the office, he then comes to wake me for this attention.
Don’t even THINK about shutting a door to keep him out. He will stand just outside the closed door with a horrendous meowing howl of horror in protest.
Horrendous meowing howl of horror.
He suddenly is very needy.
All that has changed in his world is that now he is receiving MORE attention.
Yet, he is now a bottomless pit of attention neediness…
More.
More.
Meow.
*close the door*
Horrendous meowing howl of horror.
Last night I had a Come to Jesus meeting with my cat.
Today he is on June Cleaver Nirvana, but if things don’t improve…
Tomorrow it is Craig’s List.
TOO FUNNY!!!!
We are a semi-at home family too. 3 of our kids do go to school, but other than that everything else is done at our home. It is crazy and we are insane and I can’t wait for winter to BE OVER!
LOL! I love it!
ugh. we went through this with one of our cats too, but it passed. i hope the same for you!
Good luck with that. I’m so not a cat person.
ahahahahaha Poor cat. It’s amazing the things we never thing of.
What a funny post. Thanks for sharing.
I think Scooter needs a friend
You can’t trust cats…they are out to get us!
Yeah, Craigslist”ing” woulda already happened at my house. Foolery’s suggestion sounds good though!
I think we should have a Scooter and Andy(my neurotic dog) Two-for-One give-away. I think they would make a kovely couple for some sucker out there.
