Sunday Down Down Pours

Sundays which were earlier reserved for laundry and groceries is now elevated to grocery shopping, aquarium water changing, cartoon watching, and philosophy of parenting debates.

Wait. Cartoons. Ghost Hunters. And anything that pops up on Disney channel. Slave to the television tastes of a nine year old. Spending some quality time, seeing that we had an episode after the movies last night.

Don't know what to do with all my free time. The oldest and the gf are napping in the bed. It is sweet to see a 6'1" 16 year old cuddling up with his mother. They had a tense few moments this afternoon about hitting the youngest. We deviate in the methodology at this point and I reportedly sounded like spoiled brat. BUT sounding like a spoiled brat and being a spoiled brat are two different animals, I have issues making the difference.. What I do believe it may be is my feelings from last night boiling over to today.

Fish Notes. I think the tanks are cycled. There is no need to do huge water changes but just gallon changes so that I can collect some snails bodies, fish crap, and onetime food. Small sections at a time. Once every two weeks and now I am only feeding them once a day. I finally found what the gibes like and it is frozen shrimp shaved in flakes. This seems to be the key and now they are more active eaters. This gives me a piece of mind as these little guys have been around for a good length of time. I walk in every day and get me a kiss then straight to the boys. Another odd point is that my feeder ghost shrimp that the Walmart lady gave up for our Puffer a few months still are kicking it in the fresh water camp. They have a gang thing going on. They disappear for days at a time but I now have found their hang out. They chill on driftwood. The huge snails are doing great but the common pond snails have all but disappeared.

ANyways,
Safe Travels.

Checked out video recorders and adapter run fridges for meds for the truck. Cant wait for the trip to Saskatchewan. Actually ran over possible routes over lunch.
