Hammy!

Well, we survived the weekend with the classroom hamster Hammy, and more importantly he is still alive!! I say that because we don't have a great track record with pets at our house (fish) and Lauren came close to stepping on him once or twice.

Actually Hammy was very low key and actually quite adorable. He doesn't stink at all, which is a huge thing for me and is VERY low maintenance. Emma informed me that he is "nocturnal" so he is up at night and sleeps during the day, which is hard for the girls when they want to play with him during the day. Lauren even loved to try to hold him and he had a plastic ball that we put him in and he ran all around the house, but thankfully not down the stairs.

Somehow, (hopefully) Hammy didn't catch all of our illnesses in this house. I am amazed at how Dave has managed to avoid getting sick this winter. I had to burn a sick day today, which I hate to do so early in the year, but it was necessary. So, I made another trip to the doctor and got a better antibiotic. :( I am a wimp when it comes to fevers.

Anyway, we are ready for spring at this house. The weather here is absolutely miserable, windy and freezing. I can't wait to be able to open the windows and get some sod on the ground.

Things could always be worse though so enough with the whining!!

The girls are watching "Barnyard" so I'm going to jump in a hot shower. :)
