Chair-ish the Kids, Art Showing, Son, Shot Records, Donation, Checks, Cat and Brats

 Well, dummy me did not fille

last year's taxes in 

the file cabinet,

truth be told, I have 

not filed anything

in there in YEARS.

A box here, a stack there, 

a drawer full, is my filing system 

basically. But moving 

on from that,

looking for those papers took

me down the biggest rabbit hole.

I pulled all those stacks, drawers, 

and boxes together 

and started the 

clean out task. 

Now I have a large plastic

tote full of things to 

shred, a crate for 

recent things (past yr) 

to be filed, 

and bags of trash. 

I took two, two 

drawer file cabinet 

(stuffed), down to 

one barely holding stuff now. 

One file cabinet was mine, 

and one was mom's.

I did keep a few things

of mom's, mainly family 

search papers. 

I had a folder in my cabinet

for certificates, brochures, 

and things like that.

I ran across these.

Brochures from Kids on the Block

(puppets) fund raisers. 

I was a part of those fund

raisers for four years.

Also, from my cabinet I 

found these to invites from 

my painting teacher, when she

had a show.

Our local paper in Hermitage 

ran a story about the 

elementary school and my son

was in it. That is him

bottom right in the dark 

shirt.

From my mom's cabinet I found

my dad's shot record when he

was in the Navy.

A racing book with my 

brother Ray and 

nephew Chase in it, 

donating money to the 

Ronald McDonald House.

 I know I have said it 

before and I will probably say it

more as the years go by, my

mom kept everything. Always

in order, filed and labeled so nicely.

With that said, I ran across two

uncashed checks.

One for 32 cents and one 

from Calif. for 11 cents.

Thanks mom, that gave me 

a good laugh. 

I also ran across all the 

paperwork from police report,

to lawyer paperwork, court dates

and even the boys that stole my 

younger brother's car back in 

the early 80s.

Oh, forgot to mention, the 11 cent

check was dated for Feb., 1961.

Oh my gosh, I saw these pics

on FB with what the human

to this cat had to say about the

cat. ~~~

I got my cat from a kill

shelter. He was

found on the side of

the road in a box

and he was too young

to be away from

his mother. He was

tiny, they guessed at

6 weeks. I brought

him home and bottle

fed him. They said he

was a red tipped

siamese. He is now a 26

pound “puma”

size terrorist! He

gets in so much trouble

he drives me insane.

Here he is in the

refrigerator. Which he

learned how to open

in the middle of the

night. I heard noise in the

kitchen and saw a light

on. He threw all the

food out of the refrigerator

and climbed in!

We now have a lock

on the fridge

to keep him out! This

is my asshole “Blue”

When I read things like this

I am so 

that my babes are not total

hellions like this!

Lily might run across my body

to wake me, yell at me

to get me to rub her head, 

yell at me cause she is

demanding her food NOW,

or wanting to go out. 

Misty might jump in my 

lap and head butt me to tell

me it is TREAT time 

or run out in front of me

to get somewhere before me, 

but then as soon as she

does, she slows down to a 

snail's pace, almost tripping me.

But, my cats have never

scratched the furniture, 

tore up the blinds or climbed

the curtains. They

 have not learned

to open the fridge

 door and throw

out the rood either.

I am 

Let's go back to Misty 

for a min. 

She is like a babysitter, 

I have watched her 

copy things that Lily has

done in the past.

The other day while in 

the bedroom folding clothes,

I had the top chester 

  drawers open to 

put more clothes in it.

Lily jumped up on the 

dresser, walked across it,

jumped from there to the 

the chester drawers and 

made her way into the open

drawer. She laid there a bit, 

then jumped down.

With in a min of Lily leaving,

Misty followed in the same

footsteps, following right behind

how her big sister did it.

Oh my!

On top of that, she

 decided the other

morn to wake me by running

over my body!

BRAT!!!

Little critter is going to go

blind if she don't stop 

sitting on the cable box

watching tv that close!

By the way, if you are wondering,

NO, 

I have no clue where I put my 

taxes from last yr. Going 

to call Farm Bureau in the morn

and see if they have a copy of it.

Funny thing, it's in this house,

and I have looked everywhere it

could be, or maybe not.

Well in the famous words of 

Scarlett in Gone with 

the Wind, 

"I'll think about that tomorrow.

 Tomorrow is another day." 

Speaking of which, do you have

a famous quote from a

movie you have seen?
