  • Too much testosterone!!!!

    Okay ... I was involved in a cub scout garage sale last weekend where I ended up buying more than I bargained for!! I did buy a GREAT couch for $75 so now we don't have to sit on the floor upstairs to watch t.v.

    However, towards the end of the garage sale, the owner of the home where we had the sale, realized that she had forgotten to put out something for the sale. Out she comes with 3 hamsters in a cage with all the toys, food and wood shavings. She decided she had too many animals and had to get rid of something. My Zachary's eyes were HUGE and he wouldn't move away from the cage for the last hour of the garage sale. He begged, he pleaded and I said, "NO!" Then I said to call his dad and if he said yes than it would be okay. I was sure Russ would say no too even though we had considered getting Zach a pet. My husband talked to Zach for a minute and then I got on the phone and he said, "I'm so pathetic!!!" He gave in to our pleading boy!!! So for $20 I got the whole works (which really was quite the deal!) and we now have added 3 hamsters to the household. Of course, it wasn't until later that we learned that the hamsters are all male. I just can't win!!!! I now have 4 boys, a male dog and three male hamsters in my house!!!!

    My kids are SO happy though and they have been doing a great job of taking care of them this week. My hubby keeps sneaking into the kids' room at night and playing with the hamsters too. So .... Shorty, Speedy and Rocky are our latest additions!!!

        Robin,

        Congrats on the newest additions! I'm cracking up because Sean put me on a garage sale budget this summer. I was spending over $100 a month at one point this summer. 8O He gets mortified when I'm in my bargaining mode, especially if it is over a small amount. But hey, that's part of the fun for me! There are such great deals to be had.

        Enjoy the rodents!

            Yard Sale?

            Who needs to leave the house?? Look at all the stuff you can get on ebay . . .and most of it you REALLY NEED!!! 8O 8O AND, you don't really NEED money cause you can use a credit card!!
            I find that if I go to http://www.ezsweeps.com that it's as much fun entering sweepstakes for nothing and you can actually win something. Take care. Good luck with the critters!!!

              It looks like an interesting website...do you think it sends out a lot of ...spam? I'd like to register, but my hotmail account will explode :!: with any more spam.

                I get way too much spam too. I have quit signing up for things. I have never tried e-bay. I am a wimp I guess but I have friends who swear by it.

                As far as the critters go .... they are alive and well. They really are cute!!The only problem we have been having is with Dallin (3). He thinks they are adorable too and while I am downstairs typing, he sneaks into his brothers' bedroom and takes one out. One day I went to check on the hamsters and there were only 2!!!! 8O I asked Dallin where the other one was and he said he was in the castle. I go into his room and way high on the closet shelf is a castle and that poor hamster was put in the dungeon!!! He was perfectly fine and I put him back in his cage but it gave me a good scare, especially with my dog being in the same room. I had visions of one dead hamster!! My dog has been actually really good and I am less worried that he will eat one!!! All in all ... still happy about the hamsters. I haven't had to do any cleaning at all. That is the boys job and Jacob is so particular about smells that as soon as he starts to smell the hamsters the cage is cleaned! It works for me!

                  Robin-

                  Well, it's a good thing you didn't take one of the kittens- so far we know for sure that 3 of them are male- and we think the other three are, too! What are the odds that all six would be boys!

                  (and mommy cat is being fixed as I type this!)

                    Jenn -

                    That's hilarious that all the kittens are male!!!! I am off the hook!

                    I ran into someone else who picked up a stray cat and she has 8 kittens she needs to find homes for. She begs me everytime she sees me. I must stay strong! HA!

                    Good luck in finding a home for all of them. I bet they are adorable!
