Believe me, I love cats, but water bottles are a cat owner's best friend. Tag them with water spray a couple of times and they'll stay away from the bed. A closed door helps too.<BR/><BR/>Clothes have become a problem now that DQ is getting so tall. Finding shorts that are long enough to cover everything was a big problem last year, and she couldn't wear any of the ones we bought when she started school because they had to be longer than her fingertips. And she's got long arms...Angelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17010424240956906870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-78555946276180571432007-03-01T14:27:00.000-06:002007-03-01T14:27:00.000-06:00I just got a call and my futon will be delivered t...I just got a call and my futon will be delivered tomorrow right after lunch. Yay!<BR/><BR/>Anybody else here in Alabama just sitting around waiting for all hell to break loose with this storm? I'm afraid to start anything for fear I'll get interrupted just as I get into it. Pfffft!<BR/><BR/>PMPlayground Monitorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07444337591281145863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-58835899364485870952007-03-01T11:19:00.000-06:002007-03-01T11:19:00.000-06:00I can't comment much on kids clothes.

That's what happens when you're 5ft tall and 100 lbs in kindergarden and 5'8, 135 by 5th grade. Missed that whole Jr thing.<BR/><BR/>Cats have radar that draws them to the disinterested. Poor Baby Girl. Maybe if she acts like she likes them and chases them around a bit like Little Sister does, they'll learn to get (and stay) far, far away. I have to admit a chuckle at this, though...<BR/><BR/>SPAndrea Laurence AKA Smarty Pantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13518751514879244662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-71510704507992410152007-03-01T10:16:00.000-06:002007-03-01T10:16:00.000-06:00Changes. We all love them and we all hate them. ...Changes. We all love them and we all hate them. Hoochie Momma clothes abound for girls 8 +. Look at the shoes! I was always amazed that after a certain age, I could never get my daughters normal sandles. Everything had heels!<BR/><BR/>Once, a woman at church told me she was surprised that I let my daughter out of the house in what she was wearing. A mini skirt. Doesn't she know that is the just about the only kind of skirt being sold for teens?<BR/><BR/>I agree, cats seek out the ones who hate them most. Or the one trying to read, work on their laptop... Yes, cuddly cats. You can love 'em or hate 'em. Or give in and cuddle with them.<BR/><BR/>Kathy<BR/>(Instigator, these dilemmas just get better and bigger.)Katherine Bonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14701961380138616355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-19836857734503607372007-03-01T09:26:00.000-06:002007-03-01T09:26:00.000-06:00Congrats Ashli!I'm about to change houses.

But...Having boys, I missed out on this phenomenon. But now that I'm shopping for the granddaughter, I'm being introduced to it. And sadly there are even "Hoochie Mama" clothes in 12 month sizes, which is what she wears now.<BR/><BR/>Another problem? The clothing makers who mistakenly believe that petite means teenager. I'm short, not 15.<BR/><BR/>Changes at my house? My office is getting a makeover. I posted about it last year and finally am getting around to doing it (thanks to a nice cash Christmas gift from the DH). When it's all in place I'll post the before and after photos. I can't wait til my futon arrives and I have a place to sit in here.<BR/><BR/>PMPlayground Monitorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07444337591281145863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-24194469596431929152007-03-01T08:26:00.000-06:002007-03-01T08:26:00.000-06:00I've got some sad news for you -- idiots are in ch...I've got some sad news for you -- idiots are in charge of clothes for little girls and young women. My Girl is 12. She still passes by the kids 6 and under section and says, "Why can't they make cute stuff like that in my size?" She's always been tall for her age and she's been lamenting this for YEARS now.<BR/><BR/>LOL at the cats and Baby Girl. Lovely, ornery creatures that they are, cats seem to know who doesn't want them around...and that's just where they want to be. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
