Mom and Bubba are both in so much trouble! Last night Mom let lil sister paint her first pumpkin. She spread newspaper out in the floor, gave lil sister some finger paints, and she painted away. I thought it was awesome because she was so busy with the pumpkin she left me alone for awhile!

Anyways, that’s not why they’re in trouble. The trouble started when Mom grabbed the wrong newspaper. She was supposed to use the old one because Dad hadn’t looked at the job ads yet, but she accidentally used the new one. Dad got pretty mad even though if it’s anything like the ads over the last year have been it was full of jobs like Prosthodontist Jobs and other jobs Dad isn’t qualified for. He’s busy looking for something because even though he found a new job in September he’s already laid off again.

Now you’re probably wondering how Bubba fits into all of this.  Well, you see, Mom left the pumpkin sitting on the newspaper in the kitchen last night so the paint could dry.  I don’t know if it was the newspaper, the pumpkin, or a combo of both, but Bubba decided he needed to pee in the middle of the night, and instead of begging at the door as usual he peed all over lil sister’s pumpkin!  Yeah, he’s in trouble, and now Mom is going to have to get another pumpkin so lil sister can paint it today!

Mom is stomping around here in a bad mood today.  I don’t know if it’s because she stayed up way too late last night, or if it’s because she just found out the Clemson game next week will kickoff at noon.  She has been planning lil sister’s birthday party, and it’s set for 12-2pm because most of the games have been after 3:30.  She just found out the game is going to be right in the middle of the party!

The party is going to be at the park across the road from MomMom and PopPop’s house, so I heard Mom ask Dad if she could get away with buying a huge cable line and running it to a TV at the party.  She’s so silly!  That’s like the time she wanted to get one of those lcd projectors so they could project movies on the back of the barn. Yeah, Dad didn’t give into that one either.

I’m sure she’ll just end up setting the DVR, but which Mom in a bad mood I think I’m going to hide out for the rest of the day. I don’t feel like getting yelled at or accidentally booted across the room because she was too ill to pay attention to where she was going!

You’re probably going to laugh at me and tell me I should have figured this out years ago, but I never realized how much fun it can be to chill on top of Dad’s stereo speakers! He had them pumping tonight with something Mom calls EDM, and when I crawled up there my fat was jiggling all over the place. It was surprisingly relaxing, and I think I was getting a workout at the same time! It was definitely fun.

I’m in a rather excited mood tonight.  That’s because I’m Alley, the master of bug killing, and I just killed a huge cricket in Mom and Dad’s bedroom.  I bet they’re going to be very proud of me because that thing would have kept them up all night.  It makes quite a tasty snack, too.

Maybe I should advertise my services as a professional bug killer.  After all I’m super awesome and strong.  I’m not afraid of anything (well almost).  I am kitteh.  Here me meow!  I can leap steel buildings in a single bound…as long as their teeny tiny steel building scaled down to the size of little sister’s doll house.

I may be a super smart kitteh, but I just realized I learn something new everyday. Just today I learned don’t try to steal a piece of cheese from lil sister’s plate. She growled at me! I think she’s been spending too much time with Bubba!

Yesterday I went for a visit to Gramma’s and I learned that Gramma & PopPop’s hjc helmets are way more comfortable to sleep in than Mom’s Shoei RF-1000 helmet. I think it’s because Mom has a small head and tiny helmet, so I have more room to curl up in Grammas. Dad won’t let me even think about getting near his, but I bet it would be super comfortable, too.

I wonder what I’ll learn tomorrow.  I like learning stuff, especially when it gives me a new spot to sleep and hide from lil sister!
