Poor Princess C and Baby B have fevers again. Yesterday, C fell asleep at 5 pm and slept until 6 am. Then she took a couple hour nap today and went to bed at 5:30. Baby B slept a lot as well. It was a nice easy day.
Last I saw, we had two baby fish hiding under the treasure chest. But that was two days ago. I hope they are still around. I did some research and we have a platy fish (I think, I've already forgotten). These fish lay eggs inside of their own cavity. The fish hatch and once the egg yolks are gone, the mother gives birth. Once the female is "fertilized", she can have 7 or 8 broods. So, that explains the baby fish when we only had one fish in the tank. We bought her fertilized and didn't even know it. It seems as if this isn't a rare occurence. Fish like platies are easy to breed. So I guess we don't have the first fish to reproduce without a male and we won't get a million dollars. Oh well...
The plumber came out for our bathroom today. We now have nice new copper pipes. Our old drum trap is gone and in it's place a state of the art P trap. The tub is in the bathroom, so technically, I can bathe down here if I want. The electrician was out the other day. I'm not sure what he did in there besides moving the wall switch four inches too high. Imagine walking in the bathroom and trying to turn on the light at eye level. Not sure what he was thinking, but the inspector is making him move it. I'm glad. With little kids, 4 inches is another 2 -3 years before they can turn the light on themselves. The next step is our plumbing inspection. I'm not counting on passing. We never pass inspection. People just don't care about doing a good job.
We did some school today to make up for a week off. But that meant that my laundry didn't get done. The poor kids are running out of clothes. Oh well, I'll just have to turn up the heat....

Sorry about the sickies.... and about the non-million dollar fish.
Blessings, Beckie :o)
