We made it through the weekend, but I don't see how. With poor Mom embarassing me and all, I'm surprised to still be around today.

It is Monday, which doesn't mean a lot to me, but it does to poor Mom and the big man. When it is Monday, they have to go to work. The big man gets up and leaves to go to work. Mom usually goes up to her office with the new desk in it. Sometimes she has to work really fast and then she goes to the airport to leave.

She's not going to the airport this week. I was up in the office helping her today and she was talking to a bunch of people on the phone all the same time on something called a conference call. She told the people she was grounded this week and maybe next week. Well, when I'm grounded it's because I did something bad. Poor Mom fell off the plane. If she is grounded, then falling off planes must be bad.

Even though she embarassed me the other night, I still like her a little bit. After all, she is the one who goes to Walmart and buys cat treats. She told the people on the conference call that she would be grounded this week and get a bunch of work done in her office. She said she was behind in her work in her office. It is really hot outside and I don't like to be out there when its hot, so I decided to stay in and help poor Mom in her office. Maybe if she gets all her work done, she will come downstairs and play with me.

The more I tried to help poor Mom, the more work she had to do. I stayed in the office with her until after lunch time. I was worn out from all the work I had to do! I had to take 2 naps after doing all that work.

Me and the big man like it when poor Mom is home. She gives me cat treats and she cooks food for the big man and he doesn't have to eat stuff out of bags in the kitchen closet. We both like that. I think I like poor Mom being grounded. I have her here to take care of me and you know, that's pretty cool and I AM a cool cat.
