Kitten rescue, bread, *Housekeeping* and TIME!
Posted on May 10, 2007
“If I wanted to make you happy, I’d make the perfect loaf of bread and serve it to you with your favorite jam.”
Yesterday, I went to visit the Kittens that were born shortly after I arrived home from Haiti. Their Mamma chose the backseat of the red car for a home and I found them not to many days after she had them. Well, the sad part is that she has disappeared. Three of them were still living when Benjamin and I came along we took them to the house and I made them mollassas and milk concoction. I gave them each a little spoonful or two and then went to look up on the internet what I should do. The mixture gave them all some energy, and I followed the directions on the site to warm them using a heating pad in a box. I wrapped it (the heating pad) up in a bag and covered it with a towel then put the kittens in it. The site that I was using is this one Kitten Rescue. Anyway, I called a couple of friends to see if they had a Mamma cat who might be the type to adopt and arranged to bring the Kittens over to Hannah’s house in the morning. I got her recipe for formula, made some similure stuff and fed them one more time before going to bed.
The crazy part of this story I don’t want to admit, but I started freaking out. I tried to call the first friend and didn’t get anyone, and so I went to the store to try to find a kitten nurser and some formula. It’s not that the kittens are that big of a deal, I’ve tried to raise them before and had them die in my arms, but I just kept thinking of Paul. (The 9 month baby boy that I held shortly after he breathed his last.) I got all panicky inside and while going through the check-out after not finding what I was looking for, and buying a bag of cat food, I told J.R. what was going on. He said “I raised 2 kittens once, I had to like, feed them every 2 hours for months or something.” anyway, this calmed me down. He said they both made it, one was 9 when he died and the other is still living at 17. So, the Lord reminded me to put my trust in him about this. Anyway, Hannah’s Mamma cat seems to be taking them over pretty well, we’ll see tonight.
I talked to Kylie today, hurray! I haven’t talked to her for over two weeks. She’s got a house to keep now, and I’m going to try to gather up some necessities for her kitchen to give her for her birthday. I’ve found a bread machine that I am testing right now to make sure everything works, and I’m going to try to get some odds and ends like a cassarole dish and some glasses. I’m going to keep my eyes open at yard sales for stuff too.
Time has been going by fast. I wonder if that means I am getting anything done? Well, I don’t know, *maybe* . Minnie will be getting Home on the 16, YaY!
