Another mouth to feed

So...my daughter's birthday is soon and I made the mistake of taking her to the farm this week. Usually we leave with her begging me for another kitty. This time, we left wanting a bunny. (Please note - I said WE) They NEVER have bunnies because the cats and hawks always raid the nesting boxes. Well, this time the momma bunny was given to the owner knowing she was having babies soon so they put her in an enclosed cage. There were 10 bunnies to choose from. Two are lion heads. I really LOVE lion heads. I tried to breed them once myself but was not successful.
Anyway, I talked it over with Kev and he pretty much said that as long as they weren't to expensive it would be fine. Well, they were free so no problem there. So, I went to the farm to let Elisabeth pick up her beautiful black lionhead bunny and she says "I don't want the lionhead, I want that orange one." To which I reply, but the lionhead is SOOO cute. "But MOM, It's MY BIRTHDAY!"
Well, we now have a rabbit hutch in our backyard with an adorable, tiny, orange and very much loved bunny named Snicker that is NOT a lionhead.
Isn't that funny!?!?!?!?

Funny - ha ha

Well, I find myself in a not so humorous mood at the moment. I find myself actually quite angry. I am angry, scared and disappointed. I really beleive. I DO! I know that God has his hand in every part of my life but why does it have to be so hard? Why am I finding myself in this all too familiar territory of the unknown? I want to just wake up and have my daycare full. No more driving around town stapling signs to posts, no more holding my breathe every time the phone rings hoping it is a foreign number...I just am tired of it. I LOVE what I do and I am good at it. I know this. I need to prove it to other parents. SOON.

Okay, vent over. That felt good.

Humor...maybe tommorow!

No comments???

Well...I am going to post a funny thing from yesterday anyway. Even though I said I wouldn't until I heard from you! That's alright. Okay so here goes...

Yesterday, Elisabeth was in the field looking at a bunny hole she had found while flying kites with Aunt Stine and was very sad to discover another had died. Two out of three is not a good ratio. Anyway, on the sad walk back to the house I tripped over a PILE of bunnies! TWELVE tiny rabbits leaving the nest. It was incredible. I really wish I had the foresight to click pics with my cell but I didn't. So, this post is lacking photographic flare but I will get better at this!

So we all sat there and watched all twelve bunnies hop out into the world. It was very cool. Some even hopped across the street and into OUR yard. How neat is that!?!

Well...not so neat when you back up over one with the mini-van! That's right folks I squished Thumper, or should I say Thumped, right in front of the kids. I sped away as quickly as was safe and told them it was just a bird that had landed on the driveway. NOT a bunny. And certainly not a DEAD bunny!!

Oh the joys.
