Ugh! yesterday was a ugly ugly day!!!!!!!!!!
The pet shop did not call us. We expressed our interest in a kitten, were told we could not even put a deposit it on the kitten until the vet saw it on tuesday. But our name and number were recorded into the shops daily journal to call us straight after the vet had come/gone.. THAT THE KITTEN WOULD BE OFFERED TO US FIRST.
However i went out on wednesday to see a sign saying our kitten had been sold. I thought perhaps it was gone, somehow... or perhaps it was coz our name was down for it.. never recieved that call for the kitten.. not even for the others. that's right they had all been sold come thursday! Hubby argued with the pet shop staff that night. I was coping that ok my kitten has gone, but theres still the other 2.. but then being told
THEY HAD ALL BEEN SOLD. I burst into tears. (which the pet shop lady was pretty upset about.. upsetting a pregnant woman.. pfft)
So friday morning when the manager was in, hubby called to speak with the manager. Legally the kittens have gone we were told, but they are offering us a discount on any other kittens, with a few new ones added today. Quite rightly i think the staff are in for A TON OF CRAP from the manager. Our kitten was sold right after the vet left, right from under us.. with the staff person not following their policy... and with the rest of them not following the policy.
SO PISSED OFF!!!!!!!!!!! and so is Hubby...
but anyways *i'm at the point were i just dont want to think about it anymore, i just feel so sick*
However, i still do want a kitten!!!!
on the way to the shops, walking..(earlier to kitten incident) i was attacked by a bird. walking under a tree, when i heard a bird noise in my ear and felt something touch the top of my head. I wont be walking under that tree again.. i dont know what kind of bird it was.. i think seagulls could possibly be nesting right now, i've noticed alot more of them more inland than usual.. it happens about this time each year. I remember hearing alot of gun shots when we first moved into the area, and i thought.. gosh this really is a B-A-D suburb.. but after a few shots and listening.. it was used to scare huge flocks of seagulls away.. err.... until they returned a few minutes later..
I'm glad it didnt draw any blood... when i was a kid. I was attacked/swooped on by a magpie and it scratched my forehead. i remember running home shit scared with blood dripping onto my school uniform, and being driven to school the same way.. looking out for *that* magpie. I was late to class, with something for show and tell!!!! For the rest of the week i was driven to school perhaps, and a lady who lived on that street would walk me past that area waving a newspaper in the air.

Rudd's computer pledge unplugged
Article from:March 06, 2008 12:00am
THE nation's neediest high schools will get money to buy 100,000 computers before June 30 but the Rudd Government cannot say who will pay for the powerpoints to plug them in.
The schools who benefit from the first instalment of the $1 billion program will not get the promised ratio of one computer for every senior student.
Instead, the ratio will be one computer for every two students in Years 9 to 12.
These schools will have to wait till 2010 to get one computer per student.
The first round of funding will go to the nation's neediest 937 high schools.
Public schools will get 70 per cent of the funding, Catholic schools 20 per cent and independent schools 10 per cent.
While the $1 billion program has been widely welcomed, Labor backbenchers have warned ministers that schools are not equipped to handle the extra technology.
Most do not have enough powerpoints in classrooms to plug in the new computers. And a survey of teachers this year found two-thirds needed more training on using computers in the classroom.
Education Minister Julia Gillard yesterday refused to say who would pay for the computers to be installed.
"We are working with our state and territory colleagues to make sure computers are in settings in which they can be used," Ms Gillard said.

angry and stinky
ugh. Yesterday, i decided to stop putting off doing the laundry. I rarely ever do any housework on the weekend. Not wanting to spend time away from hubby.. but i had put off doing the laundry all week.. and a girl only has so many underpants, socks and maternity-tops.
2 loads of washing and all of it in one dryer.
I had the whole place to myself, which isn't that unusual.. altho not having Tia around was..
The dryer is half way thru drying the clothes, where i get out all of hubby's work shirts, 1/2 dry. (i find that if they are dry and i squish them into the lil shopping trolley/buggy they get crinkled beyond the ability of my crappy $10 iron. So instead 1/2 dry/wet in the buggy and put on clothes hangers to dry)
half way... i'm very happy playing my DS.. still addicted to my new game.
when teenagers decide they will sit in the laundromat and smoke, all 4 of them. They were definitely under-age smokers. One a girl, didn't buy in straight away that they could smoke in there. But there is a smoker-fill-me-with-cancer-ash bowl that does get used. All 4 of them took up all the seats.. Oh and yeah did i mention they weren't doing laundry, they were waiting and then consuming their chips from next door.. even tho the chip shop has tables n chairs outside.
I wait for the dryer to finish playing my ds, outside the laundromat. As i can't breathe inside, its like putting your head right into a chimney.. my cold is easing up and getting better.. but with that much smoke... damn right pisses me off..
makes me ssssooooooooooooooo want to move out ASAP so i can get my own washing machine again! The lease is over, its now just a waiting and praying game of finding a new place..
i walk in to get the clothes out of the dryer and into the buggy asap.. they wanna look at my underwear go ahead.. do i care?! no..
I leave pretty upset, pissed off.. i stink!!!!!! I'm shocked, i tell myself that the smoke just be in my nose or something.. but no it isn't. i walk in and hubby says 'have you been with a smoker?' err and we can leave out my reply to that! :( My hair stank, my skin stank, my clothes stank.. i had to shower and wash my hair, i couldn't stand it any longer!!!!
Hubby says to me, wow did your hair stink! I am so glad your not a smoker!!!!

almost....
The first day of march, the first day of autumn. Oh the relief! Summer is O-V-E-R!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hubby, Tia and I went out to the shops, with the thoughts (again) of getting a kitten!
There was kittens, sign said domestic x siamese. however they just look like furball tortoise shell tabbies with blue eyes.. ive never worked out what 'domestic' means other than it could be anything and everything, altho usually something that looks tabby like.
Tia and i went to hunt down the cat food, i realized just how much of a cat food noob i was. Growing up the only cats i got to play with were those at my nans, aunt & uncles and gran n pops house. My nan would have new ones alot of the time usually strays she would befriend and they'd move in. lol. Oh and when we were newly weds, in our granny flat the owner had a fat, lazy, Persian 'Henry'.. he was interesting.. when they went away we would feed him. They would have these packets of fresh meaty looking red blood stuff, fancy stuff for a cat on a diet! It smelt only a bit better than the canned stuff.. bleh!!
After trying to find 'kitten' food and wondering what age was 'furball' (lol) it was located and bought (with me thinking, how am i suppose to know if it prefers snobby sounding lamb over the beef? and been reminded again how nice it is now that cat food comes in beef, free of pilchards, sardines and other unprocessed fish stuff..).
A quick check on litter trays at coles was $8. Hubby said the pet shop ones were $14-$18.. and i said, let's try the $2 shop. Sure enough a kitty tray was found for $2! ^^
Back to the pet shop to find out... that they were 1) covered in fleas. The kitten i wanted was asleep and i could see fleas crawling over its face.. it was twitching, a lady said 'aw its dreaming of being chased by a dog' SAY WHAT?! no its twitching coz its covered in fleas! and how could a kitten know what being chased by a dog is like, when it may have never even seen one.. let alone be chased and lived.. its a kitten.. she must be thinking in 'cartoon' mode or something.
2) that theyve been sold to the pet shop as 8 weeks, but the shop are convinced theyve been lied to. The vet that comes to microchip, worm, vaccinate and de-flea is on in tuesday to do that and will be able to tell how old they really are. And then we have to wait until they really are 8 weeks until we can buy and take it home.
3) we are leaving with cat food and a litter tray and without a kitten.. ah well. Wait for a call on tuesday to let us know when we can buy the one i really like. Guess we have more time to do some paperwork? even tho we don't plan on staying here? Get some kitty litter home, more food and a bed or something for it to play, scratch on.. so i guess waiting isn't all that bad after all.
