Happier Things

I didn't want to spoil any of the slightly amusing and general babbling with my rant. This is the only reason there are two posts tonight. Well, I lie. It's also because it would be a very long post and by the time you get to the end of my ranting you don't feel like reading anymore. This defeats the purpose of writing an entry and you also miss my slightly amusing and general babbling on several topics.

In kitty land today, there was the usual. Connor wanting to play and Shanni doing her hiss/spit/growl thing. I really believe he doesn't want to play every time. He knows it pisses her off and he gets a secret thrill at pouncing on her. I can't blame him because sometimes I feel like doing my own pouncing and chasing her around. She got in trouble today. I look up and see Connor stalking something that is outside the fence. Just as I start to get up to see what it was, I catch a glimpse of black and white fur. I bellow "Shannon Kyla!!!!! Get in here!" She gracefully leaps to the top of the gate and drops to the ground. She also made a beeline for the house because she knew I was going to chase her furry little butt in here. She was duly "punished" for doing something she knows she's not supposed to do. Connor was his usual cute self running around yipping and talking all day long.

My daughter got her report card today. She got 2 A's, 4 B's and 1 C. The C is a 79, which is 1 point from a B. 70-79 is a C and 80-89 is a B. I'm considering it a B anyway. I'm very proud of her. A couple of the grades on the last one were low. The worst being a low D, as in 1 point lower it would have been an F. I was extremely disappointed by her grades last time. The reason being, for the past two years she has been on the honor roll every single time. She's slipped a little this year.

I will end this here. I'm feeling very tired. I didn't get much sleep last night and am off to bed.
