Bonnie & Clyde

This weekend I took the kids to swim at the pool on Jana's street. It took Jackson a while to actually enjoy the water and I was surprised it took him so long. I think I had bought every pool toy out there for him. I had even bought this inflatable raft for him. Nope, he wouldn't get in it. No, no swimmies on his arms either. Mackenzie on the other hand is our little fish. She absolutely loves the water. We ended up staying out there for a little over 2 hours which surprised me. I had no idea we were out there that long. No one got sunburned though and I can't even tell that I have a tan from that day. I have gotten rather brown already but not as much as I would like to be.



While we were at the pool my phone got water damage from the drinks I had put in baggies filled with ice. Oh did my wonderful Ziploc bags keep the ice/water in? Oh no. It leaked out into the tub and killed my phone. My brand new phone I got for mother's day. It is so sad. I called Monday to file an insurance claim. I was assured that my new phone would be here yesterday but alas it wasn't. Needless to say I was not a happy camper and very upset. It shows that it is on the truck for delivery this morning. It better come or else I'm going to go postal.



Lee got off work around 5:45 on Monday and we went to eat at 331 not too far from our house. The owner of 331 had eaten at his restaurant and told him that any time he came in dinner was on the house. I'm finding this to happen quite often. It's not too bad. That happened last week at Longhorn and it's happened at others. It's not to scratch someone's back and have yours scratched. So we went there and it's at the foot of the US 331 bridge. Jackson and Kenzie wanted to go out on the deck and see the bay. Jackson peers through the rail and I point out this kitty sitting in a chair. I then see another one peering from under the deck. Jackson was just facinated with them. He wanted to go see them so badly.

We could barely get through dinner without both of them wanting to go back out there. Jackson especially wanted to see the kitties. So we go out there while we waited for dessert and these kids walked near the kitties and scared them under the deck. The manager said that they are wild cats and became such a problem that they had over 100 of them living under the place. Animal control had to come out and catch them because it had become a health issue. So anyhoo I was talking to Lee and telling him how much I loved Tiger, my long haired cat. He was so great until this horrible little snot of a roomate named Christina let him out of the house one day. That girl only paid 200 a month in rent and no utilities and I did so much for her and she let my companion out. Oh how I wanted to kick her booty but I was preggers w/ Kenzie and didn't want to do anything stupid. Yes, one of the rare times I thought before acting.

So yesterday I looked in the newspaper and online to see if any shelters had any kittens available or adult cats that were longhaired. Well boy did I get myself into some trouble. I made a phone call about 2 kittens available for adoption. One is a calico med/long haired cat and the other they described as looking like a panda and is long haired. They wanted to have them adopted out together because they can't stand being apart. When Bonnie went to the vet they said Clyde cried all day long. I talked to Lee about adopting 1 cat and he wasn't too sure about the idea.

Finally Lee said that we could go look at them. I was closer to her house and told him I'd go first and if I didn't like them then he and the kids didn't have to come. Well they came to the house. They all fell in love with the cats. Lee pulled out some cash for the lady and next thing I know BOTH Bonnie and Clyde are coming home with us. They are 11 weeks old. I can't believe it. They are so stinkin' adorable. Bonnie is the mischevious one and Clyde is the sweetheart. He's longer haired and I love it about him. I just want to eat him up.

Jackson is so cute in saying their names. Mackenzie drew pictures of them in the car this morning. Oh and they do everything together. Play together, sleep together, heck, even pee together. Last night Lee came in the den to sleep. I woke up at 5:00 this morning for some reason and went to get a drink and check on the cats. I find them sleeping next to each other above Lee's head. So cute.

So Bonnie and Clyde are our new members of our household. Oh, by the way we did not name them. We were told we could rename them but I thought they were cute and really didnt' want to have to come up with a name for them.

qwu (that was Bonnie typing)

Jackson is walking around the house with the Fisher Price BP monitor. I think he's trying to check to see if we're all alive.

Having phone insurance is a pain in the butt. I'd almost rather have paid for a new phone then go through the insurance company. When we were with Alltel if we had an insurance claim we could go in the store and get a replacement phone. Oh no. I filed my claim on Monday. I was told that the new phone would be sent next day delivery via DHL and I'd receive my phone on Tuesday. Tuesday morning I check the tracking number and it's not in the system. After 4 phones calls between Asurion and DHL I find out that the label wasn't even created until 4:45AM Tuesday morning. Asurion tries to tell me that DHL picked up the crates late and that's why it didn't go out. I'm not stupid. I create shipping labels all day long. DHL didn't create the label Asurion did. Asurion didn't do their job.

So I wait all day long at the office for my phone. Because I don't have a cell phone I can't just leave for lunch or the bank or for anything because I can't fwd my phones to my cell. DHL shows it will be delivered no later than 3:00 PM. I check the tracking at 2:30 and it shows they attempted delivery at 2:20. WTH? There was no way because I was sitting in the chair in the front room watching the parking lot for them. I call DHL and I'm told that the service manager was working and he personally attempted delivery and I wasn't there and he couldn't guarantee that he would be able to re-attempt.

So what do I do? I check the website for drop box pick up times. He was going to be at the Office Max drop off at 3:30. I staked out the location waiting for him. BTW he was 3o mins late. I see him pull up and go over to his van. I told him that there was no way he attempted delivery because I was waiting for him. Oh you know why he didn't get an answer at the door? Because he went to the wrong address. Stupid stupid man. He went to the townhomes down the street. Stupid stupid stupid. I haven't had a phone for 3 days and on top of that I have lost all of my phone numbers that were in my phone book. Right now Asurion and DHL are not sitting on the top of my favorites list.

I accidentally still had Lee's phone in my purse from last night and he needed it so badly today. He kept calling me for phone numbers. I know he was frustrated and I told him that I'd drop it off when I was headed home. We got rock star parking and I got a space in front of his front door. Let me just tell you I rock at parallel parking. I run in and see him and he told me he had been trying to call me when I was walking in. He invited us to eat and I felt bad about eating there again but he insisted. I got to meet the GM of the Palm Beach store. He's up helping our store b/c the Palm Beach store opening is delayed due to the building.

We went in and ate. Again. Yet again. He was great. Kenzie and I split the chicken faijitas and the chicken flautas. It was yummy. I don't think we've had to pay for a meal in a long long time. Our only weakness is dippin' dots.

Okay, I'm off to change a poopie and get Jackson down to bed. Good night and good luck!
