We Need A Cat...And I NEED To Complain (about a few things is all!)

Today I am going to a halfway house for Cats to get one!  lol!  For real, some old lady here in Carthage has too much money so she bought this huge old house that she has given to cats that have no other home.  I guess a butt load of cats live there.  I don't understand why so many people pay so much money for dogs and cats with pedigrees and stuff when there are so many that are neglected and need homes.  Stupid.  But, the world is full of stupid people.  I digress.  Anyway, we had to put Cammie to sleep last week.  It was heartbreaking.  She had a tumor and it was her time.  She had a good long life and hopefully we made her life good!  Now, I would like another kitty.  Not a kitten.  I want to help an adult cat that needs a good family.
Sidenote****I have had so many people tell me that my kids need a dog.  A freaking dog.  It's like having a really annoying kid.  It can't understand you even more than your baby can't understand you.  I don't need another kid.  I want a pet.  A pet should enhance your life, not make it more difficult.  My kids need a dog like they need a hole in the head.  They wouldn't take care of it, I would.  That is why I love cats.  They take care of themselves.  Also, I grew up ALWAYS having a dog and cats.  I NEVER liked the dogs.  And we had many.  I am just NOT a dog person. What if my kids are not dog lovers?  You can't make a person like something just because it is there. I don't think them not having a dog is going to scar them for life.  You know what else I really like....OWLS.  Maybe I should go adopt an owl.  Stupid huh? 
They can decide for themselves when they are older.  I like cats and that's it.  Leave me the crap alone about dumb dogs already!!  Bah!  
So, I'm looking for an adult cat that needs a good home.  I LOVE cats and so do the kids.  Preferably litter trained but good outdoors too. 


Onto the other subjects of the day.  Trapp Christmas is on Christmas Day this year.  What a rip off!  We like having Christmas day to ourselves as a family.  Junk monkey.  We must go though because when Trapp's gather there is much FUN to be had!!  And it doesn't happen a whole lot so there's that too.  My sister Vicki is cooking a goose I think!  Never had goose and a little frightened to be honest. LOL! 
Growing up, I did not have 82 Christmases like I do now.  We had one Christmas on Christmas morning and it was great!  I believed in Santa forever!  I loved it. 

Another thing, the stupid garbage company that picks up garbage here in Carthage is the worst!  (Area Disposal, INC.)  How can you suck at picking up garbage?  HOW?!!?!?  IT's freaking garbage!!!!!!!!  I want a new company so bad but the city has a deal with them or some such nonsense.  Why can't I decide who picks up my garbage!  They have stupid rules and they are FORCING me to recycle because of their stupid 6 bag limit!  6 measly bags for a family of 8!!  Are you kidding me !?  Even with the 55 gallon bags we are hard pressed to get in under the 6 bag limit.  And the 55 gallon bags are entirely too large for my kitchen trash can.....
