My darling kitty,
I soooooooooooooooooooooo missed you this afternoon. I was terribly anxious to get back to you. I knew I was missing prime seeee time and I just couldn't get back to you in time. If you could see the tears that are falling as I type, you'd understand my pain. But since I missed you, what kind of friend would I be if I did not respond with a lengthy novel as you have done for me? You see only extreme circumstances could have kept me from you. I had to shop for that obligitory, god-forsaken, vomitous turkey and it took all of the time that Ben was in preschool. Upon my arrival to pick him up, the kids and other moms decided to play in the snow. What kind of mother would I be if I didn't let Ben play? SO I told him three snowballs max and told the other mommies that I had to hurry back home to my senilefelines and they just couldn't understand that I was not referring to demented kittens. It took forever to explain and then Ben was covered in ice and snow and I had to bring him home and put him in the bathtub to thaw his frozen limbs. By the time I got him out, I was late to get the other kids from school and when I got back, you were gone. Gone, gone, gone. So you see, seeeeeee, I am devastated not to have gotten to wish you a very Merry Christmas in person, as well as a Happy New Year, and a fabulous week off. Hope to see you very soon into 2011 unless I can sneak back on sooner. Kisses!
