Yah, so today is the first day of Summer Vacation.<\/p>\n
School’s been pretty good and crazy this year. Yah…..it’s been a crazy, hectic, stressful year; but it’s also been pretty good as far as teachers and school staff being helpful and caring and understanding…….so all in all it’s ben good.<\/p>\n
Jeremy fell in love with his classroom pet over this past schol year and has been allowed multiple times to “babysit”….”pet-sit” the class pet guinea pig, named Elliot.<\/p>\n
His teacher decided that she didn’t want to have a class pet next year and so she asked around for a parent to take him at the end of the school year and Jeremy desperately wanted to keep him and bring him home, and so we agreed….yah, we are just a little bit crazy.<\/p>\n
I’m not much of a pet person, and I was not entirely certain that having a guinea pig was at the top of my “things I desire” list, but it made Jeremy happy, and that is somewhere on that list and so we’ve gone forward with it.<\/p>\n
Last night when Jon and Chris went to the Dodo’s concert, I went for dinner at my parents house. We (me and the kids) got home around 10:30pm and after I get everyone settled, I sat down to check my e-mail and I could hear Elliot moving around and then I went to bed.<\/p>\n
About half an hour ago – I went into the kitchen to get something and when I looked into Elliot’s cage….<\/p>\n
THE RAT IS DEAD.<\/p>\n
Laying over on his side in the cage half in and half out of his little tube thingy that he hides in all the time, and HE’S DEAD!<\/p>\n
Unreal! What a way to start the summer holidays. Jeremy cried and is now asking what we are going to do to replace Elliot and that’s the LAST thing that I want…..another gunea pig. I mean, we already have all the gear an food and stuff, but I don’t want a stupid furry rat in my house….no matter how “cute and adorable” they are.<\/p>\n
Is is bad that I was a teeny, tiny bit happy that the rat died….is that bad of me….well, I really don’t care. I feel bad that it’s dead. I feel bad that Jeremy is sad, but I am not sad that the stupid thing is no longer something that we have to take care of……<\/p>\n
I’m really hoping that it’s all uphill from here. It should be, right?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
