UGH!

The Goblin War came out today. Now, if you don't ask, they often don't stock Hilari Bell. So I dutifully went and ordered the book to be delivered to the bookstore so Jenn could pick it up. Mail delivery is too haphazard around here. (We're on the longest route in the city, so we constantly have new carriers.)

AND THEY DIDN'T HAVE IT IN TODAY!!!!

So now I have to wait, and they also didn't have Happy Pig Day in stock, which is just the icing on the cake.

Also, the kittens are litter training. Which in effect means they're making little messes all around the house. A while back one of you complained that cats seemingly potty train faster than children, and I pointed out that when children potty train, they stay trained, something which isn't always true of cats. Also, when children are very little, they're typically in diapers. When cats are very little, their moms have to lick their butts and clean it up with their tongues, which, if you ask me, means that humans win hands down.

But here's another way in which having a human toddler is preferable. When your little human child is potty training, you probably only have one of them, and multiple adults. When it's kittens, it's the other way around. Sure, Mama Cat helps - but there's one of her and five of them!

Honestly, it's even worse than the fact that they aren't fully clear on the whole "wow, my claws retract" concept yet.
