mother's day festivities

mother's day began with a grumpy child - due to staying up all nite - and a bit of bickering......  next, while i was trying to get ready for the day a nuisance person stopped by to beg for a bowl...after the irritation of him had left my premises...i continued my efforts to ready myself for the day....    it was then, while sitting in the doorway of the side porch, that i heard the hard and loud THUD noise.....  i looked up to see a silver truck driving off and in it's wake a flopping animal in the road.   another highway casualty....   i summoned Zoe to bring the garden cart out to the highway to remove the animal - my purpose of removing it from the road was to decrease any temptation for my dog's special investigations activities.....i dont want to be dragging him off of the highway either......so we discovered it was an extremely large orange and white male cat....which is apparently the father of my beloved Rebekah (according to Alex)........   we carted him back to our graveyard and gave him a temporary burial until tomorrow.  we came back inside and i finished up my makeup......then discovered that Zoe had fallen asleep.....hehe...figures....u know what...i take all these events as a sign that something would have gone wrong today if we had gone out.....everything happens for a reason.......we decided Mother's Day is tomorrow...when things are less crowded....is it right....i dunno..but it is what it is.....
