These photos were all taken on Friday 12/11/15...
Mom and I were sequestered in my blog office A G A I N.
There were painters and bangers and who knows what all running all over my house.
Mom decided she would wrap some Christmas Presents 'cause she knows how much I enjoy
redesigning wrapping paper and tissue paper.
We were having a ton of fun until the banging commenced
The bangers were replacing some wood on the house gables that had been
totally destroyed by Carpenter Bees during the spring and summer. This time
they replaced the wood with some type of composite material that bees cannot destroy
While I was in hiding, I sent Stuffy Santa out to snoopervise mom.
Stuffy Santa did a good job
All of a sudden the banging stopped long enough for me to hear
music to this kitty's ears
the sound of kibble gently falling in my office food bowl
I had a chance for a quick nibble
then the bangers returned, I told Stuffy Santa he was in charge
'cause I was going back in the closet and I was not coming out
until at least Spring.
Oh woe with me when will this remodeling be over?
2nd TUESDAY TALE inspired by a comment left on our blog yesterday:
Mom here: Yesterday our good buddy Mad Snapper commented that Madi called me Mom she asked if Madi called her Dad, Daddy. This was Mom's reply:
"TRUTH BE TOLD...MY DAUGHTER HAS ALWAYS CALLED ME MA...with the exception of 6 months between age 2 1/2 and 3 when she called me Old Bozo. NO CLUE WHY...I never had red curly hair.
My daughter has always called her Dad, Daddy."
When I started the blog Madi and Ma didn't have quite the ring that Madi and Mom does.
The rest of the story is: Her daddy knew every so often she called me
old bozo, but he had not heard her do it. Once when we were all shopping my daughter must have asked me something. I didn't respond immediately so she BELLOWED 'old bozo'. I immediately gave her all my attention. Her daddy said why do you answer her. I replied, I don't want her to bellow 'old bozo' a 2nd time.
I always cracked up when she called me 'old bozo'. Eventually, I realized she was doing it because I laughed.
Finally I stopped laughing (it was hard to do) and she stopped calling me 'old bozo'!! I kinda missed it too.
My daughter has always marched to the beat of her own drum.

ReplyDeleteOh, having contractors banging and stomping around is the worst! We hide in the closet when that happens, too. Hope they're all done and won't be bothering you again for a long, long time.
ReplyDeleteOh gosh Madi, that pounding and so on, sounds really scary. We would have hidden in the closet too. Glad it is all over now. And Christmas isn't far off. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteI imagine all that banging and strangers is indeed enough to get on your sensitive kitty nerves Madi.
ReplyDeleteOld Bozo. I think I would have thumped her :)
Guess it would be hard to find an "Old Bozo" greeting card for Mother's Day. Glad she stopped calling you that.
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing the story of old bozo LOL.... I'm glad all that workers finished their work and they are on the way to another house now... hope your Meowgraine is better soon, now if your castle is yours again :o) my mom has to wrap all gifts this year too... she said that's my fault, because I shredded all packages and boxes... not sure what she means...

Dang pretty Madi, quiet is much, much better!
ReplyDeleteWhew! They've finally all finished and you will be free to roam again...that's great news! BOL at 'Old Bozo'..that is a very cute story. It made MY mom laugh and smile to hear it!
ReplyDeleteThat is the funniest story ever! Kids know how to make their parents cringe, don't they!
ReplyDeletePoor Mads - will the chaos never end. Hope it is a bit quieter in the cupboard.

ReplyDeleteI bet you will be so glad when all of the painters, bangeing and carpenters have left, Madi!
ReplyDeleteOld Bozo?!!! When our oldest son was old enough to stand in the crib, I would come into his room. He'd yell: DAD!! "No, I am Mommy, not Dad!" It took 3 months for him to finally learn the difference! LOL
Hugs and nose taps,
Kathy & Molly
Did you get to play with the tissue paper, Madi? Or did the Old Bozo keep it all away from you like the Momster does here? She has been wrapping and wrapping and wrapping - we sure hope some of those pressies are for us!!!
ReplyDeleteWoos - Ciara and Lightning
Snoopervise....hysterical! One of my cats (Mocha) gets so scared with loud noises that she has "accidents" So sad they get so scared.
ReplyDeleteOld Bozo! Bwahahaha!! I am glad the quiets have returned Madi, so you can enjoy your kibble in peace.
ReplyDeleteOur mom LOVED the "old Bozo" story!
ReplyDeleteWe will apparently be having some bangers and painters here some day soon. (Apparently they were supposed to come last week, but don't mention that around my mom. Her face turns funny colors when the subject is brought up.) Anyway, we'll have to be kept on lead or behind a closed door so we don't try to help too much. Mom's concerned about us doing too much. Yeah. I'm sure that's what it is.
Yours sincerely,
Mags
Cute Old Bozo story. I am glad you will finally get some peace and quiet.
ReplyDeleteWe laughed so hard about Old Bozo! Madi, it is clear your peace was being WRECKED! We were in the middle of commenting and then the power went out. Oh, and the new washer is having troubles too so mom thinks she is living Ground Hog Day. I don't know what that means but she said to type it. We got a new Christmas tree today and me and Stanley decorated it.
ReplyDeleteYour Pals,
Murphy & Stanley
Madi, we're glad you and your mom are making the best of a noisy situation. We hope the bangers go away soon.
ReplyDeleteOMD...We are glad they finished the indoor work...sheesh, they must have been real loud for you to have put Stuffed Santa in charge!!
ReplyDeleteSmileys!

ReplyDeleteOh Madi! We are so sorry you had to go into hiding again. I hope they really really really are finished now. But on the plus side: you seem to be waaaaay more popular than your two-leggers. The amount of cards you have had so far: AMAZING!!! I wonder how many we will have when we get back home...
