Cat Sit Benefits


We are cat-sitting this week. This is our only feline customer and the work is very easy compared to some dogs we have dealt with over the years.

Last night after we had done our scoop/mail/lights/water/try-to-play-with-the-cat duties, we sat in the living room. We stay 30 minutes and I know Allie the Cat liked it. She was always nearby.

Youngest son said-
"This is pretty easy work."

I said-
"Well, that is life. Some days you get paid for easy work, other times you will have a very difficult job with little to no pay." (this was said in my best motherly-wisdom-voice)

He said-
"Well, it is really nice for you. You get to sit and read in a living room that is much neater than your own."

He is right!

We are all on a journey, and this blog's reason for existence is to be a place to put mine. From humble suburbian begnnings just north of Dallas to a Catholic unschooler with a passion for faith, lifelong learning, my family and dogs, here I stand before you. Welcome to my world!
Authenticity. That would have to be my theme at present. To enjoy my family, be true to ourselves and our faith and be authentic and enthusiastic about life!

I love Dog Day Afternoons...
"What children need is not new and better curricula but access to more and more of the real world; plenty of time and space to think over their experiences, and to use fantasy and play to make meaning out of them; and advice, road maps, guidebooks, to make it easier for them to get where they want to go (not where we think they ought to go), and to find out what they want to find out."
