My Great Weekend!

So this weekend was very eventful!

let's rewind to Friday... not much was done on Friday so Chris and I just sat home and watched different shows that we have on DVD (this weekend we finished the"the 4400" series). Chris worked on a school project and I crocheted little baby booties and a baby hat. (there is a picture coming)

Saturday Chris and I went to walmart for different crafty things for Chris's school project. Can I just say how much I like this school project Chris is working on because than Chris goes to craft stores with me AND I don't feel guilty for buying yarn or buttons for my little projects. And then it happened.....

I had my melt down, for no apparent reason I got upset and started a bawling fit. During this Chris asked me if there was anything that he could do for me to make me feel not so stressed.... with tear filled eyes, I asked "Can I bring Minnie home?"

Sunday was My father's birthday and Chris and I's 2 Month anniversary. After eating dinner with our family for my dad's birthday, Chris and I went home with Minnie in a card board "pet carrier" (although it was a lot harder and scarier than just driving home, more like having a rabid wild raccoon in a box full of dried meat on your lap) we got home and Chris and I have now taken on the title of pet owners! I just am so happy now that Minnie is here with me at my new home, I just hope that after she has been in one home for 11 years she will be ok with the idea of starting a new life here for the next couple months and then at our new home the beginning of spring... We shall see..

*** ya wanna know how things turned out our first night as a family?!****

Well Chris and I brought her home and she immediately ran under our bed and was there to stay. So I decide to stay up with Chris because lately I can't sleep without him (soo cute... gag me). However, at 11 I had all I could handle and went to bed with Minnie underneath our bed and fell fast asleep for about an hour when Chris came in.

At this point I think that Minnie said to herself, "everything is quiet and dark, its ok for me to come out and 'explore'"... I say "explore" because what ended up happening was NOT what I would call exploring. She proceeded to jumping up on my nightstand getting in our window, jumping back on my night stand, running around on our bed, going to chris's night stand, jumping up on our dresser, then jumping three feet on to our bed ON TOP OF CHRIS and then running across our pillows and starting over. This continuted. All. Night. Long.

I thought maybe she wanted to get out and explore the rest of her new home, so I opened our bedroom door WIDE open and went and got a "glass of water" for myself. (really I just took a swig of sprite from the bottle, I just wanted to sound healthy). When I turned around to see if Minnie had come out to explore she just stood at the door and just coward. When I went to pass her to go back to bed she ran as fast as she could under the bed and coward until I laid down, than she started all over again with the jumping around.

This continued until around 6am when all the sudden it got very very quiet, naivly Chris and I used this chance to get an hour of sleep and when our alarms went off we reluctantly got out of bed. That's when I asked it: "where's Minnie"... we didn't know. She wasn't under the bed. so I went to the living room, I thought that she was behind the TV... I kept calling her and couldn't find her. I had no idea where she went until I heard a little tiny scared meow from INSIDE our heating duct. F my life... I found where she had be hiding and it took Chris and I an hour and two cans of wet cat food to coax her out (I called in late for work and when I told my supervisor what was happening she just laughted...)

I called my dad and told him what happened his response: "Ashley wait, let me put you on speaker phone and I want you to tell me about your night one more time so mom can hear." I told them and they both started laughing. You guys this isn't funny, we are very very tired, this just is not humorus in anyway!

After this Chris and I both were very exhausted and had no patience so we (chris excitedly, I reluctantly) packed up all of Minnie's things and her and took her back to my parents.

While at my mom's to drop Minnie off my mom said, "you should talk to Danielle about not getting any sleep and being tired, since she has to take care of Ella all night." ....Chris and I will never reproduce. This is awful.

This is the story of how Chris and I were pet owners for 12 hours.
