One girl bunny and one boy bunny


Make for some interesting sex ed opportunities. They really do.

So my girl bunny needs to get fixed. Apparently girl bunnies are prone to uterine cancer so she will have the full hysterectomy.

Whipping Cream is the boy at 800 grams

Maple the girl is at 710.

Both are in great shape the vet says. Lots of good quality hay.

ANyway my 8 year old has been told that if they were one of each we would have to get one fixed. Explanations were given using correct terminology and everything. Great opportunity to explain things. Anyway she asks me what girl parts are fixed to prevent babies, I tell her. She then asks me what boy parts. I tell her the testicles. She thinks about it and then says that is where the fertilizer is.
I killed myself laughing, fertilizer.

I also found out yesterday how the kids picked the names at camp for the bunnys.

The mothers name was Waffles. There were five babies. What do you put on waffles? Well apparently you put on waffles "Blackberry" "Maple" "Cinamon" "Carmel" and on top you put "Whipping Cream". All makes sense now.

I love bunnies. I have had four in the last 18 years or so. The last one, Jasper, lived to 11 years of age. She was the only one we had neutered because the one prior to her did in fact die of uterine cancer. Something we knew nothing about until it happened. Female bunnies are in constant cycle and it is very hard on their reproductive system.
After Jasper passed on, I gave it a year and then decided to get two cats. One of each, both neutered. Have fun raising those bunnies because they are a joy to have around.

April 19 is a rough day

20 years ago today I miscarried a baby. I can imagine myself with a 20 year old running around. Maybe even a grandma, that is a rough thought. For years when I could not conceive I wondered if I was being punished for miscarrying my first. I was young, got pregnant in college, and was sick all the time. I had morning sickness 24 hours a day every single day, I lost a lot of weight. I was alone and I was scared. I went to bed one night feeling very ill, I woke up two days later in the hospital. I had hemarraged and been uncousious, and almost died. I miscarried in my fifth month. When I missed college some friends tried to reach me and couldn't so called my ex and he had the landlord let him in. It saved my life. I have always felt so guilty that I was just that little bit relieved that it had happened. I was so young, and on my own, and did not want a child raised the way that I had been raised. Feelings just all over the place. It hit me like a ton of bricks again w...

Thoughtful Thursday

Alberta headlines an announcement that there are 3,500 new positions for childcare in Alberta in 51 different communities. So I read the report. Which can be found here....http://www.child.alberta.ca/home/587.cfm . It comes down to 3,489 positions at the cost of $4,853,940.00 that comes out to $1,391.21 per position. Makes me wonder. Red Deer my community gets 68 positions at two differernt centres and $102,000, which works out to 1,500.00 per position. I just do not get it. I am pulled aside at daycare yesterday where my 4 year old DS attends full time. The owner of the centre tells me that C has left, that the other C is being moved to a new room, and that a brand new C, and J are going to start, and lead will be held by N who has been there two weeks. The daycare owner tells me she doesn't know why but she cannot keep staff in that room. I pay $775.00 a month for him to attend daycare, I pay $255.00 a month for my daughter to attend after school care from 3-6 on school days. ...

Well I made it and I survived it

I am finally 40. Entering the prime of my life. I think it is all how you look at things. So if I look positive it will be postitive. This is the decade that is going to be about me. I had an adult decade on education, I had an adult decade on family, now I want one on me. Thanks Jenni for calling last night, I miss you and you are welcome to come back to Alberta and visit any time. I got the cutest birday card from Poncho with her original photography on it of a koala, I love it. I feel spoiled and loved and it is nice to feel that way. I got a cake sent to me at work yesterday, a balloon arrangement with a teddy bear and chocolates and some basic grey paper. A bunch of girls from SJ went together and organized it all. I feel so honoured to be counted as one of their friends. I got to talk to geminigirl (Carrie) yesterday as well, she is one of the sweetest people I know. Thanks for calling.
