March Came In Like a.....

Lamb in the world of weather.  Nice and pleasant.  But inside our house it felt more like a lion....

This little lady was really sick all last week.  The doctor said it was RSV and on top of it she had ear infections. With her tubes in place she was an oozing mess for a few days.  It was really sad.  She got put on an antibiotic and breathing treatments and then started to perk up.  She hardly ate any solid food for a week.  Luckily she would drink so we fed her that way and she stayed hydrated.  I didn't get much done and got behind on most things, but I was able to do a lot of snuggling so I guess that makes up for it. :)  The doll stroller was the one place I could set her and she wouldn't automatically start crying.  It was nice to use both arms freely for a few minutes!  Today she's back to her happy self.

Goldie died.  I discovered him belly up while the kids were at piano lessons.  I noticed his water was rather murky.  (I had just cleaned it less than a week before.)  And then I saw him.  It startled me and I distinctly remember gasping.

We had a brief funeral in the bathroom.  Poor Goldie.  He lasted about 9 months.  That's a record around here.  Kaden brought him home on the last day of school.... who gives LIVING creatures as prizes without parental consent, pray tell?!  (I'm a stickler when it comes to pets.  I'm not a zookeeper.  Although, sometimes I wonder if I'm raising human children or something entirely different!)



Haley has started to be a bit naughty again. I'm not sure what triggers it, but my fridge, I'm sure, did nothing to offend her.

And then it gets TOO quiet and I discover Eliza's whole dresser unloaded on the floor.  (Eliza is not happy I'm just standing there not even picking her up.  I mean, seriously, how rude could I be?!)
