Anyway, life has been busy. If it weren't for me working only part time I don't know how I'd get it done, or I would get it done and just simply have permanently raised my blood pressure up to 200. ;) I'm planning to go on a mission trip to Haiti. Nothings final in my mind until I buy the ticket, but I rather short on funds and just started fundraising. I will be a translator and I am totally relishing the idea of finally going on a mission trip where I know the secret language. I've been the Philippines and the Dominican Republic, but French just didn't seem to serve me any better than English for some reason . . . Anyway, so I'm trying to make plans for that and I need to get rabies shots and malaria pills and the whole shabang and my insurance is alright, but not wonderful, so we'll see how that works.
Other than the previous, I'm also on the job hunt again. I'm on what's called a non-continuing contract, so they only hired for the school year and then they're opening the position again to all applicants for the next year. Wheeeee. It's alright though mostly, because I'm hoping to land a full time job this time around if possible. I've applied, but only one interview so far for a school in Bellevue (which is a little bit of a commute and I don't really wanna move . . . ). C'est la vie.
Other than the previous (again), we're doing well. Our biggest issue is our cat who insists on yowling at 5:30am. The hubs got annoyed enough he went searching for solutions on the internet. It is working . . . sort of, but by no means completely successful and I highly doubt it will last.
On a good note, the weather is finally springish and the pool will be opened in a week and a half! I reeeeeallly hope its heated because Micah swears he will throw me in if I don't go voluntarily. And, I'm such.a.wimp when it comes to cold water, or even cool water, or slightly tepid . . .
I will update more about Haiti and job news as I get things figured out.
I shall end with a cute photo:

Do you feed the cat in the morning? Our cats used to do the exact same thing and meowed AND scratched at our doors early in the morning many days. We tried squirting them and that sorta worked but didn't really deter them long term. We solved the problem by always giving them food whatever it may be, at night right before bed. This has solved our problem! If you feed your kitty in the morning, you should try it.
We feed her before bed AND in the morning. It keeps her at bay till 5:30, 6:15 if we're lucky. :(
I don't know if there's any way you can feed her later in the afternoon, but I'd be willing to bet that would help the problem. I doubt she's really all that hungry, she just wants her food when she's used to having it. My cats act crazed for their food at night, but sometimes only eat a few bites. They start trying to convince me to feed them earlier in the evening up until bedtime, and I'd guess this is what your kitty is doing too! Kitty psychology can be tricky at times! :P
So, you think we shouldn't feed her in the morning at all and feed her in the afternoon and before bed only? I'm kinda confused . . .
