Yeah, so…um…sorry blog.  I was upset and I took it out on you.  I’ve been doing nothing but bitching about my daily life, sucking everyone into my drama and when I lost my kitty my world just crumbled.  I flipped out.

I’ve since deleted that blog post as my mood has completely changed.  I sat outside for a while today, crying and trying to hone in on my kitty locating senses when I finally heard him cry.  He was stuck in the woods.  I swear I looked there a dozen times, but I don’t know if he had wandered deep into them and had just made his way home or if my awesome cat-whisperer powers brought him back to me.

I actually think it’s the kids.  Every day after school the kids play outside but the past few days it’s been raining so we’ve all been trapped indoors.  It wasn’t until the kids got home from school and they started talking that Apollo (BSG rocks) started talking too.

I was heading to the bus stop to get my son when I heard him – “Meow! Mom! Mom I’m here!”

I stopped, knowing full well my neighbor might have to bring my son to me because I was about to venture deep into the woods to rescue my little lion.

Excitedly calling out his name I removed my sunglasses and scanned the woods to see where he was calling from.  Then I spotted him in a mud puddle frozen still.  He wouldn’t answer to my tiny kisses I was sending to him.  Paralyzed with fear, my kitty simply looked at me and called my name. “Meow!” (Seriously, I’m the cat whisperer.  I speak kitty – insert your wise ass jokes in the comment section below).

Without thought I trudged through the brush and muck to reach into the trees and pull Apollo from the mud.  Claws out and fur ruffled, he’s lucky I rescue animals and know the proper way to grab a terrified cat or he would have shredded me and I would have drop kicked his ass deeper into the woods.

Holding him close to me, I walked back through the woods yelling triumphantly to all of the neighbors that my precious kitty has returned.  I had saved the day!  I’m a hero!

So here we are, once again sitting outside soaking up the southern sun as the children play.  I put the picture above on Facebook and all of my wonderful friends are celebrating with me and for that I thank you.  Apollo is by my side on the driveway as I type this, rolling around and singing a little kitty tune.

“Meow!”

And so it ends.  I’m not pissed off.  Yes, if you got a glance at the post I blasted out an hour before you might have read a little bit about my frustrations but after the events of today and this glorious end to what could have been a tragedy I know that I can take life one day at a time and get through all life is throwing my way.

Ahh…
