Since coming back from Christmas at home I have been super sluggish. Like sleep in way late and then nap a few hours later. I haven't cleaned or cooked or slept normally for weeks. At first I thought I was sick but when my only symptom was my perma running nose I realized that wasn't it. Then I thought I was prego cause a lady at church mentioned that she only gets exhausted when she's expecting. Again that was a no go (as per doctor's orders... a whole other post all together) Then I remembered that I have crazy dreams and rarely sleep through the night and I was convinced that I was just over overly tired. My best hours of alertness are when I am wide awake at 2am after dreaming that someone broke into my house and stole my wedding ring. Or when I have a nightmare that Grayson has been replaced by He Who Should Not Be Named (sorry not talking about HP either) and I cry out loud for my dear hubby back. But that too is surprising normal. I just couldn't figure out what was making me so tired and unmotivated. Ok so I haven't been to the gym in a month and I might have bed snacks a little too late at night but this was something else all together.
AND THEN IT HIT ME...
I need a cat.
Wouldn't that solve all my problems?
I would just have to get up in the morning to feed the little gaffer and then we would bond over The View and make fun of Whoppi's shoes which always makes me open my eyes a bit wider.
I would also have to visit the gym more so me and kitty could go frolic in the grass and get the mail without gasping for breath half way there. (may or may not be true)
I would have to clean my house more because kitty does not enjoy messes and since I am doing the litter box I may as well scrub the toilet too.
And of course after a long day of cuddling and cooking we would fall asleep in each others arms (paws?) and be out cold for the night.
It seemed like the perfect idea until I mentioned it to Mr. Gray.
Diana: "Can I get a cat?"
Gray: "No!"
D: "Why not"
G: "Because I HATE cats and I will punch it in the face and you don't want me to do that!"
D: Gasp...Tear..."Hmphh"
End of discussion.
So I am back to sleeping in and feeding the hubby leftovers until I come up with a better idea to get back to only being semi tired and slightly lazy.
And I was so sure that I had the perfect solution!

Hahaha, you are so funny! Your posts always make me laugh. Sounds like how Joel would be if I ever wanted a pet :).
Someday... Don't get one now. Men are just so dramatic about pets. Matt says the same thing but I keep trying to tell him they are so much easier than dogs. One day I'll just come home with one and he will have nothing to say about it!
just have a kitten randomly show up at the house one night. how do you think we got dazi??
you do not need a cat! you need an infant...you would have to get up and feed it and take it for walks and it would definitely cause you to be tired enough to sleep through the night. i can't believe you said cat! B.A.B.Y. that's what you need!
PS: babies also show up randomly, unannounced and unexpected...and you get to keep them! so i reiterate B.A.B.Y. (in case you didn't get it the first time)
Your Mom is right, a baby would make you dead tired so you'd just crash at night. Then again they'll wake you during your best sleep and you'll be upset! So sorry you have this awful problem, hope you find a solution soon.
Let me just say I am not against getting a pet as long as it is not a ____ cat. Cats are possibly the worst thing ever created.
Sorry but it needed to be said.
I am pretty sure ME is Grayson and his opinion doesn't really count!
Hey Diana! I'm glad I found your blog because now we can be blog friends :)
Well, I totally think cats solve everything, but that's just because I'm a crazy-cat-lady! ;)
Anyway, your blog is really cute and funny--JUST LIKE YOU!
