What a Day!

First of all, I wanted to show you Tyler's room so far. I have nothing up on the wall as of right now but it's getting there. I think he's actually starting to like sleeping in here. We were awoken with a thump this morning around 5:50 when he fell off of his bed for the only time of the night. I actually think he's improving! So, my day. It started off with me just being emotional. I won't blame the pregnancy but I definitely think the back pain/body aches/having to take care of 2 toddler thing is wiping me out but I woke up with thoughts that I might not make it through the day without crying my eyes out. It also definitely has to do with the loss of my Aunt. In addition my kids are a little bit sick with runny noses so I can't hang out with anyone of the human race for the rest of the week while they recover so I thought I'd go out and infect the rest of the neighborhood with germs by going to the market and Wal-Mart. I know, even I will wipe down the carts after this little segment... Anyway, we headed to the local farmer's market store and proceeded to get some necessary veggies. I had just turned around to grab some avocados when I heard a crashing sound behind me. When I turned, I saw Mikayla covered in coke with a broken bottle at her feet. Of course, she went hysterical because she felt so bad but it made me want to cry right in the middle of the store. Why me?? why today?

Then we went to Wal-Mart and bought Mikayla her promised fish for her room. Does it look like a Betta? It is. However, much to my chagrin, they only had FEMALE bettas and we all know that the females are the boring sex in the animal world. Mikayla had her heart set on this one so we bought it (no fancy fins to be found). Right now she's in her room looking at it after she fed it and tried to "pet" it by putting her whole hand in the tiny cup and chasing it until it practically launched itself out of it's container. I've already apologized to the poor fish. Now we'll just have to see how long it can survive in the Lee household.

Here is the glamorous fishbowl that will be housing the new Lee. Yes, the marbles and beads look pretty but as soon as I got it home, I looked up what you're supposed to put in the bottom of the fishtank and it mentioned gravel. I don't know about you but even I can see that this is definitely not gravel. It's also not going to be very easy to clean with all of those tiny beads. The only excuse I have is that, with my already emotional day, standing around Wal-Mart making decisions was just about as appealing as jogging a mile at the gym in my present state. Point made. You'll have to come see our new addition (provided she lasts the week).
