I worry

Not about Pelle. Pelle did a bit of marathon sleeping and was able to go back to school on Monday. He thanks you for all your healing hugs and soothing words, though.

I worry not about Pantoef. Although the vet has discovered a heart murmur I am firmly sticking my head in the sand and expecting Pantoef to make his Grand Appearance in Rucphen on July 3rd. Look at this picture and tell me how cute and healthy you think this little guy looks:

I'm counting on the big shots from L'Oreal to knock on my door soon and ask Pantoef to become the next star of their add campaign, because if this picture doesn't scream Because I'm worth it, I don't know what does.

I'm not even worried about Noah. Admittedly, I didn't do that much, but at least he's moved up the ladder a bit and the peacock (if indeed it is a peacock) is nearly done.

I do worry about myself though. I really do. I mean, this morning, after I had given Pelle his breakfast and put him on the bus to school, I made Pelle's breakfast all over again. I was sitting down to eat it and I thought 'Hang on? What's all this gluten-free stuff doing on my plate?'

And like, just now, for example. I found myself drooling. Yes, drooling, I say. Not over some gorgeous new chart by the ladies from Blackbird Designs, not over one of my Stitchy Bloggers' fantastically fabulous finishes or new projects or sweet kitty cat or diggy dog. No, I was drooling because, apparently, I didn't feel it coming and I didn't close my mouth in time to swallow.

It's time for a wee break, I think.

Yours senilely,
Annemarie.

Both little guys are just precious! Take care of yourself, and enjoy that little break.

What a handsome young man your Pelle is. And your kitty (sorry can't spell the name) does indeed look "like she's worth it" and you and your drooling - happens to me too sometimes - I've done it before myself, just drooled - I could feel it coming, knew it was going to fly out but the hinges on my jaw didn't work right.....
So I guess we're droolers together!

That is a great photo of Pelle. He looks so happy!
That is some amazing kitty. She is gorgeous! I'm not a big cat fan but she is just so very handsome.
I hope you enjoyed your lovely breakfast drool and all. You continue to make my days by starting with a big smile. Thanks hon

Hang in there Annemarie! It does get better. After one stressful sort of time, I tried to put the electric tea kettle in the fridge! Maria S.

So glad that Pelle is feeling better! :) Pantoef certainly is a good-looking kitty too. And Noah is coming along nicely :)

Kathy said...

Pelle is one handsome youngster. Glad he is better now. And that kitty is gorgeous.
As for you. It sounds like you need some sleep and a day at the spa. A little pampering. Oh, and don't fret about it. These things happen to all of us.

Now, this is bad. Time for a break. A summer break ? Off to any place ?

You've got to pay attention to that swallowing thing. Such a pain in the ass!

Angela said...

Pleased to hear Pelle is feeling better.

I think your suffering from a lack of coffe and stitchin.

Jennifer said...

Feelin' it, yes truly feelin' it. Made the HUGE mistake yesterday, while searching for a bit of trim cording in the attic boxes, to open the box with my old journal books. All my "dear diaries" dating back to the late 80's. So what did I do? I sat down and started to read through them. As if LIVING through the damn stuff wasn't bad enough!?!? So I have the glazed eyes, slack-jaw drool thing going on today too.

Heidi said...

That book needs finishing NOW! And you need a day away...at my house? :-) I must tell you that my brother has a heart murmur and he is an OOOLLLDDD man but if you tell him I said that, I will deny it...lol! Now I agree that Pantoef is ALMOST as cute as Dagi...lol! Now with all these caps and lol's, you must be smiling and cheerful now. Hey, is that a little dribble I see again?

Hugs en groetjes ~
Heidi

Sending hugs your way.

Now I am not generally a cat person, in fact I don't usually like them much. But your cat is just absolutely GORGEOUS - almost as gorgeous as Pele. So glad he is feeling better and well enough to go back to school. Love your stitching as well. Lots of Love Patti xxx

Maren said...

Time to take a break, honey. You've a pretty little cat and a handsome little boy, but it's time to do something to just pamper yourself. I'm sending you lots of hugs and positive thoughts.

Pelle is such a cutie and Pantoef os one elegant looking kitty. As for the drooling, that's far better than forgetting to go to the bathroom now, isn't it! ;-)

Someone I know has been working WAAAAAYYY too hard. Is it done? Is today The Day? Want to do something fun together soon, even just a cuppa someplace???

(PS: Sometimes Niek drools, too. LOL!)

Margaret said...

Your two "P"s are too cute for words.

Too much thinking will do that drolling to you. Only a few more days and it is time for a break. If you feel like heading this way - would love to have you.

Have a good weekend.

hugs, Margaret

Catching up on blogs - I've missed the last few entries. Glad Pelle recovered - he's so handsome, and so is your cat. I hope Pantoef will be ok too. Take care of yourself, it sounds like you're very tired. And the stocking looks great, nice progress!

Tanya said...

I am glad to hear Pelle is feeling better. Great picture of your kitty. Making progress on your stocking, I love it.

Cheryl said...

Noah looks great and Pelle is just so cute

Siobhán said...

I'm glad Pelle is doing better! I hope Pantoef will be okay, too. Take some time for yourself-you deserve it. Noah looks great!

Brigitte said...

I'm glad to read that Pelle is doing fine again. And I think that you have recovered from that senile moment in the menatime, lol.

Beatrice said...

As usual you make me smile.
Pelle looks handsome and happy. So does Pantoef and if they don't hire him for the next 'Because I'm worth it' Ad then I don't know who is!!!!
Noah looks good and your breakfast sounds hmmm...yummy????
Take care!

Marie said...

You have an amazing way with words, you should author a book!

doris said...

So happy to see your little man is healthy. He has such a sweet face.

Noah is looking great, and I'm anxious so see what happens with Mary W.

As long as you can keep from drooling on your stitching, it's ok to drool. :)
