Monday BF (May 7)

A bit late starting it, hopefully since nobody else decided to run with it, it really wasn’t needed.
Re: Monday BF (May 7)
I did have a frustrating morning. I decided the children must have a case of the Mondays. DS thought since he has a motorized toothbrush, all he had to do was just hold it in his mouth and would magically get clean teeth... I guess I hadn't watched him brush for awhile so I was unaware this was his method. And it never fails, once I say 'go get in the van, it's time to go' they are missing the few things they need to take back to school.
My cat is being a serious jerk today. Won't come sit with me at all, the big, spoiled rotten, snob of a fuzz butt.

Hopefully you're okay and everything will be fine. Its super stressful though.

A couple weeks back our new dog caught a lil cotton tail bunny in our backyard. DDs came running inside saying Bunny had caught a bunny and I needed to come rescue it quick! I had to pry the dog's jaw open and picked up the terrified lil guy. He had a couple outward injuries so I brought it inside and put it in a big, tall, box with a small Kleenex box to burrow in. At first, the lil guy stayed in his Kleenex box and didn't come out for water or the carrot sticks we gave it, but within a couple days it was eating several carrots a day and some lettuce mix we'd gotten from a local greenhouse. I figured I'd let it go in the morning, since it must be feeling better. Next morning, I check the box, and the picked up the Kleenex box and NO BUNNY!! I asked DH and the two oldest who were up eating breakfast, where it was and got blank looks back. We searched EVERYWHERE and DH finally leaned the sofa back and there he was! DS tried to grab him, then I tried and the lil bugger squeezed out a crack maybe 2in wide, and DISAPPEARED again!! DH finally found him across the room, in the entry behind a snow shovel. We caught him and let him go across the alley in an empty lot with trees and bushes.
The kicker was, we were trying to leave to go to Denver (about 3 hr drive) to do some shopping and we'd wanted to leave as early as possible! We were going to a friend's house for supper and night, so we got there a bit late.
Anyways, thought you'd maybe get a kick out of our bunny adventure and know they can get happy ending even if they're injured!

Coffee - loved your story! It did make me smile so thank you!
mamab - gotta love how our brains work. assumed everything would be ok and didn't so now I am going to be a horrible mother. thanks scum bag brain for escalating that quickly! It ticks me off more as I tend to be overly cautious (to the point of driving people crazy) that when I do decide to relax a little it always goes wrong... and people wonder why I stay the way I am! lol
edit for extras because I forgot!
This may or may not make you feel better...but it has to do with bunnies and dogs...when DH was young, he had a bunny (that he named after himself). Well his dog ended up eating the bunny. I think his mom told him the bunny ran away. I knew about this story forever. Well last Christmas or some holiday, my in-laws were telling me that someone else in the family had a bunny named Baldy and another one named Lefty. Lefty only had one ear, so I'll let you guys guess how Baldy got his name. Anyway, I can't remember how the bunnies lost ears, but I think they did it to themselves. So, these animals were family pets and they managed to get injured, etc...so don't beat yourself up about a dog being a dog, or a bunny being a bunny. Dogs are going to chase after other animals, it's in their nature. As my dad would joke, "you can't let nature run wild!"
Also, within 1 month of me taking my mom's senior dog into my house, we had to take him to the ER. Because the damn dog ate a bloody tampon. He's not a big dog, so I was freaking out about the tampon swelling and blocking his digestive tract, etc. I felt horrible and felt like a terrible dog mom (was month 2 of DH and I owning dogs, we had just brought home a new puppy the month before). He's fine now, they made him throw it up and we kind of laugh about it now. You can imagine the male vet's discomfort when he had to ask me "um, was it a used tampon? Because there was a lot of blood." PSA for those who didn't know: dogs love dirty tampons. And underwear.
@ninji15 Ugh! I’m sorry you have to deal with that. Fx you didn’t get it.
DH is 6'3", so with SS he took an umbrella stroller and altered the handles to make them taller. Occasionally I look on FB to see what his ex-MIL is selling because she sells crap all the time. She's selling the stroller for $8. I jokingly told DH he should buy it.
Coincidentally at drop off tonight, his ex wife offers "first dibs" on the stroller if he wants to buy it. He asks how much... $20! She even mentioned it's online, so we could easily see how much she's trying to gouge the price. We both just laughed at it.
1. I wanted to buy more undies from Amazon basics because apparently my uterus is bigger now and requires larger underwear. But the only color they have in my size is WHITE. no. no. no. White underwear terrifies me.
2. I made guac for dinner, but accidentally dumped too much salt in it. holy crap it was salty. And now I'm really thirsty and already downed 24 oz of water and am super full but also extremely thirsty. Bitching at myself for that rookie mistake.
