Sleepless Nights

Yes, there have been some sleepless nights, or at least less sleep nights, around here this weekend.

This would be the reason why…

There is a stray mama cat that roams near the preschool where Erica teaches.

Late Thursday night or early Friday morning she had a litter of kittens under the playground slide.

As is typical for her she left and never returned.

After much work on Erica’s part they were rescued and she found homes to nurse them all.

Of course we took one. And we are bottle feeding every two hours around the clock.

Hope is loving every minute of caring for this little one.

Let’s just say he is WELL LOVED.

Erica is hoping she can trap the mama cat soon and have her spayed and hopefully rescued.

We are also keeping Hendie this week while Christina is at the beach. Although he sleeps through all the noise and 2am feedings.

Here he is waiting for Seth to come out of the shower.

He spent all of Saturday running from window to window trying to get a glimpse of Seth as he worked with Sterling and Ricky putting up new siding on the house.

I almost forgot how tiring it can be to lose sleep. Good thing we are not starting school this week, because I may just spend a little time each day catching a nap.

Come to think of it, there is a lot of learning going on with a newborn kitten to care for and a sad little doggy needing a little extra love and care. What a way to start school!
