Baby Bird

On Saturday morning I was taking a lazy stroll with Poppy when I noticed a tiny ball of fluff on the sidewalk. After closer inspection, I realized it was a baby bird that had fallen out of its nest. My heart broke you guys.

I ran home, grabbed my camera and proceeded to look like a lunatic taking photos of cement. I was also screaming at passerbys who came too close to stepping on my precious bird. I decided to rescue her.

I ran home again, Googled “what to do if you find a baby bird who has fallen out of its nest” and discovered that under no circumstances should I keep the bird as a pet. I could, however, try to put her back in her nest. I ran back to my bird determined to find the nest and save her life, but she wasn’t there. I shed a tear, said a small prayer for my bird and sulked all the way home. I will keep you in my heart forever little one.

Babies

We finally got to meet our new niece Carter this weekend. She smelled really good. For a minute, I considered getting prematurely knocked up. Then I remembered that I have a husband who’s gone three nights a week.  Plus I have one large needy monster and two small needy gremlins. So for now, I’ll stick to smelling other people’s babies.

3 Dogs and a Baby

I babysat for a friend’s 10 month old last night and the Husband was at school so it was just me and the kids. Three dogs and baby is definitely not a stroll in the park. By the time she left I was starving and my bladder was ready to burst. It was an educational experience to say the least.

Lessons learned:

• Do not procreate until Husband is done with school.
• Buy Citronella bark collars immediately.
• Always keep a box of cereal on hand for a quick dinner.
• Pee before baby wakes up as that is the only opportunity.

Procreate Now

Somebody please have a baby and buy these divine Virginia Johnson quilts, rugs, and art for your nursery. I would conceive immediately if it didn’t mean I would have to raise the child alone.
