Seeking Contentment

Today I began by rebelling against everything.

The snow, the Snow Monster, the cold...

I think I should have done this a long time ago.

Because the Snow Monster stayed away.

Its big brother came out...

...but I didn't mind that as much.

I considered actually going outside today,

but do you see that mound of freezing cold wet snow?

Instead I reverted back to curling up on Mom's lap.

Now I'll give you a moment to admire my cuteness.

I look so content.

Mom, of course got up eventually and left me

 to wander aimlessly on the floor.

I waited and waited until she sat down again.

Then, the second she sat down and put her legs up,

I jumped on her lap and curled up again.

I tried to stay here as long as possible.

I was determined not to move again.

I was completely content...

Well, actually, I don't really know what it

means to be completely content.

Mom, however, moved again.

When she did sit down, she leaned forward.

I think she was deliberately keeping her lap from me.

So I waited...

Then I moved in closer.

And waited...

Then I finally gave up and curled up next to Daddy.

You didn't expect me to be content, did you?
