Waiting Game

Another page! You'd think I had the day off yesterday! Used up some stuff from home. Paper Loft and Heidi Swapp paper, Paper Loft letters and Thickers letters, and Heidi Swapp clocks.

Journalling reads....


It is just a waiting game.

I am not sure that the fish aren’t the smart ones here. Mitzy lies there on the shelf looking calm and cool as only a cat can do, except her tail is twitching frantically. Any moment, she will jump up and “attack” the aquarium. She is waiting for just the right moment when the biggest goldfish is in a position of no escape. Her shame is momentary though – darn that glass! And she goes back to waiting for her next opportunity. Mitzy spent hours in this spot. We call it her cat TV place.

You might think that Sam’s thoughts would be “stupid cat – they're behind glass you idiot!” But Sam waits too. He is oblivious to the fish or that they are behind glass. Perhaps THIS time Mitzy will play with him.. She hasn’t in the past seven years, but maybe she will notice him waiting patiently. She seems in a playful mood with that twitching tail. There might be some hope. No Sam, she really couldn’t care less right now, but we will play with you.

Only the fish are not waiting. They just keep doing what fish do – round and round the same old space heading to the top occasionally.

Love the pic and love the journalling. Clever! Animals are such a grand addition to any family, I must say.
