“Battlestar Galactica” is the name of our Russian Blue female feline that we’ve had nearly four years now. When we recently got our new apartment, my husband and I felt awful leaving her alone all day while we went to work. So, a few weeks ago, we decided to bring home a little six-week-old male orange tabby kitten we named “Starfox.” He was going to be her companion while we were away, except Battlestar absolutely hated him. And not only did she hate him, she was so mad at us that she wouldn’t even cuddle with me at bedtime like she normally does. Every chance she got she was giving me the stink eye.
As I have been watching the NBA playoffs, one player for the Los Angeles Lakers has become such an inspiration, Alex Caruso. Caruso played college basketball at Texas A&M--some of you may have heard of him when he played there but I sure hadn’t. He averaged 8 points per game in college, and was known as a fighter, but he was never thought of as an NBA prospect. He ended being selected by the Oklahoma City Thunder for the G-League, as he went underdrafted. Caruso played in the NBA Summer League years ago and so he showed teams what he was capable of.
As a mom of two daughters, ages 14 and 12, I struggle with trying to understand their emotional breakdowns, hyper-activity, their highs and lows and their strange hobbies. I often wonder if I was this tough to understand at their age.
