Kittens

Yep, they are now about 12 days old....eyes are open. Still managing to keep the kids at bay and satisfied with a daily viewing of them. Mama cat is a stray I feed and when she is out eating we go in our shed and do a well kitten check. All 5 are growing so much. We have 3 dark calico's and 2 orange and white striped tabbies. We have become quite protective of them. Hubby and I went out at 2 am to chase a dog off who was at the shed barking....scaring the crap out of mama cat. So I put big toys in front of the shed so other animals have a tougher time getting close but mama gets out just fine. The kids wanted to keep them all....I explained we couldn't so right now we are down to keeping 2....since we have a black 10 year old cat (Meekah) I am hoping we keep 1....an orange one! I do not want to break the kids heart but I cannot really afford vet bills for 2 kittens right now. I really hope we can tame them right away so I can find good homes for them. More strays around here is not a good option!
Other than that it has been the same old stuff just a new day. I am STILL filling out disability paperwork....what a pain in the butt! They obtain copies of all the medical records so WHY do I have to provide dates of tests and such? I have to go asking the doctor and hospital only to have them ask later....dumb.........plain old dumb! Add to the fact that my husband STILL does not agree nor think I need to file it is stressful here. He wants me to get a job........
