Hi everyone, Marge here. I figured Mom will never get around to writing about what she's been up to lately, so I'll fill you in on some details. Besides, she and my new Dad have been out of the house an awful lot, and I'm not getting nearly enough attention.

Dad's been the once keeping my litter box fresh, my food dish full, and my water fountain flowing. Mom's been gone a lot. When Mom is home, she's got this big heavy book in her lap, instead of me. I have to lie next to her, not on her lap. It's really stupid. I can't wait until she's done with these night classes she's been taking.

Last weekend she and Dad went away, and when they came back, they had flowers. Mom spent some time on the computer, then they both disappeared into the bedroom! At some point they came out and ate one of those round smelly things in the flat box. I don't know how they eat that stuff, it smells utterly unappetizing. Then they watched TV and went back to bed. I got some quality petting on the couch, but I could tell they were really tired. They are always tired these days. It's really unfair to me.

Last week Mom actually got home early one night, and what did she do? Fall asleep! She came home, put on that big black fuzzy wrap thing she wears in the mornings, laid on the couch, and fell asleep! Here I am, snuggled into her arm, rolling on my back doing my cutest pose every, and she falls asleep. I am so unappreciated. I used to get all the attention around here. Now I'm getting snores.

Then, yesterday, Mom and my new Dad went out AGAIN. They were both gone all day Friday, Most of the day Saturday, and all day Sunday. What are they DOING out in the cold world? Don't they know it's winter? Anyway, when they got back yesterday, Dad was holding this little blue bag, which I thought looked like it might contain cat treats, but it didn't, and Mom had this sparkly thing attached to her hand. She looked a little sick, her face was pink and she was sort of staring and wandering. I think that thing might be some kind of hypnotic device. She kept staring at it with this stupid look on her face. Actually, I've seen that look before on nights when she comes home really late, kicks off her shoes and goes to sleep without changing clothes. It's been a while since she did that so maybe this sparkly thing has the same effect? She usually wakes up with a headache after those times, so I hope this sparkly thing doesn't give her headaches too.

This morning she was wearing the sparkly thing again when she left the house. I hope she doesn't have headaches all day.

She is really happy though. And Dad is too. So when do I get more snuggle time?
