About my family

I am awake but everyone else in the house are asleep. Beautiful morning outside. I heard the birds as soon as I woke. Sadly my bunnies died yesturday. I am not exactly sure why. I don't know if momma did something wrong or I did or if it was just going to happen no matter what.
The other doe is also pregnant so we will have new babies again soon. Much looked forward to by my five year old who cried yesturday about the dead bunnies. I have to tell all of you (assuming anyone ever reads this blog) I love animals as do all of us in this house. We had two cats but Midnight has been missing since before Christmas. We looked for him everywhere. We hope that he is inside someones home being well cared for. We have Cornflake (named by my five year old). He is not completly full grown. He was a feral kitten I found at the nursing home where I worked until recently. He is now the most loving cat I have ever seen. Then we have a dog that is thirteen years old named Wiley. He stays to himself more than he ever used too. I figure that is because he is so old. We have a female about three years old. Her name is Gabby. She was named Gabby before we got her as a present for son number three for his birthday one year. She was six months old. believe it or not we could'nt find any little puppies. So God must have wanted us to have her. Any way we didn't do what we should have and she had nine puppies this last summer. We blessed many we know with those puppies. We kept two. One my daughter fell in love with, Princess. One my husband fell in love with, Snoopy. Ok so we learned our lesson right? No. We just made sure she didn't get out without us. And alas, Christmas Eve she ran out the door while chaos was gioing on. And not long after she had guess how many? Nine puppies! Sadly three died or were dead when they were born. Unlike last time when she had nine pups that looked just like her (Yellow lab mix) Only one looked like her and it was one of the three dead pups. So we had six cute little black pups (don't know who daddy is). We have just given one away ( well we exhausted most potentials by giving them a pup last time). So I guess we are going to put an ad in the paper. I hope we have learned our lesson. We still have not taken her to the vet to fix this. So much is going on it right now, it might be a while. So back to the animals. We have two female rabbits and one male rabbit. We are thinking of expansion though. My daughter has been intructed to think of these rabbits as pets but not to get friendly with the bunnies. They are going to be food. As an avid animal lover she has not quite got this yet. So that brings us to the last. We have two hermit crabs (my second sons pets) Hermie and Bill. Funny huh? Anyway contrary to what many of you are thinking right now, no there is not complete chaos in the house, no stinky smells, no discusting animal planet rescues. These are well cared for, well loved amimals that are a part of our family.
We live in a four bedroom house with four children and the two of us. Two bedrooms up two bedrooms down. One bathroom. Since there are mostly males in the house I think it (the one bathroom) works out for us better than others. We do live in a town. But we have two lots. We are going to do some changes in our yard this year. Well I hope we get to it this year. We bought this house pretty cheap two years ago. I guess you could call it a fixer upper, but its not terrible just some cosmetic stuff needs done. No wiring or plumbing nothing real expensive. We love it! Before this we always rented. We pay less now on the payment than we ever payed for rent. I wish we would have learned that long ago. The house could have been about paid for by now i8f we had. We try not to use credit for to many items. We tried to stick to that but I totaled our car not to long ago and it only had liability insurance. Uh oh right? No replacment of car. So now we decided (not knowing I would soon not be working) to buy a car from the local car dealer. Yep, we are scratching to pay for it. We like the car just didn't know we were gonna be scrimping to pay for it. So that is probably all I have time for right now. If anyone ever reads this I hope you enjoy and comment. I want to talk with people. That is the main reason for starting this blog.
