Our evening routine never varies, hubs picks me up about 5.30pm , we have a half hour drive through bumper to bumper traffic ( I only work about 8 km from home :dunno: ) Stop at the shop for milk and bread and what not and get home usually just after 6.15 .... open the gates and then have to forcibly remove all 4 cats from their positions on the driveway !!! get inside , unpack shopping , say hullo to dogs , say hullo to cats , and birds ..... make coffee , trip over 2 dogs and 4 cats in very tiny kitchen and start getting food for the starving millions ready ....


In the meantime while im running around like a loon , hubs plays with the dogs , its become a daily routine they bring their toys and the game is on .

Hub s picks me up tonite looking very green ,... i ask him whats wrong .. he bought some or other food item and it seems its made him sick , its also pouring with rain.

ok ... no help from hubs tonite get home , dry wet cats , and do everything im supposed to do except play with dogs ..... miki and monty are not charmed .. their playmate is lying on the couch under a duvet.... i try and amuse them (inbetween drying wet cats cos madge and freddy wont stay in the house ) but miki shoves her squeky in hubs nose , his ears and anywhere else she can find , monty wants to lie on him , and magic finds his dangling toes irressitable .. eventualy i get fed up and send hubs to shower and tell him to go to bed !!!!!

now they have ALL gone to bed ... i see there is no place for me ... rotters

Losing the bed is bad Carol, but even worse is a sick hubby, I'm so sorry! Hope everything is back to normal (well, as normal can get for you ) soon!

I'ld have had to be counting my blessings and enjoying the peace & quiet!

After an all that - I'd be glad they'd all gone to bed too - find a nice little corner and soak it up
