bunnies are adorable. to look at.

but they are beasts to take care of. they love to hump everything in site, first of all, and they will procreate like- well- rabbits. so even if you get one the chances are that if you get a girl one? she might already be pregnant by her brother or her dad. we learned this lesson the hard way a few times at the nature center I used to work at, we were always taking litters of rabbits from people who bought rabbits from breeders and pet stores! so make sure you get an older rabbit that you can get fixed or that you are sure is a boy.
also, they poop A LOT and their poop attracts other rodents and even bigger animals to your yard because it smells kinda good (don't tell anyone I said that) and other animals eat it.

and they bite faster than something like a cat would. because they are, after all, cute rats. and if they get mites or fleas or or or the kids get them too if they are allowed to hold the bunny.

they can overheat really easily, and cook if the sun hits them

I would say if you get one, keep it indoors if you can, or even in the garage if that's an option.
we used to have indoor rabbits growing up, and they were litter trained. they can't control their poop (no sphincter!) but they can control their pee.

I'm not sure what the right answer is, but I've found rabbits to be a nightmare!

No, my secret alias is not Mia. MIA = missing in action. I have been avoiding posting on here. Why? Because I don't have a ton of stuff to write about. Also, I've discovered that my blog is being followed by a couple of people I'm not related to. Although I'm super excited about it, I'm also a little intimidated! Sounds silly, I know. Hear me out. You know how you can be a teenager (I'm not a teenager, we're just being hypothetical) and have big thick coke bottle glasses, zits all over your face, big baggy pants and a baggy sweatshirt hiding the rolls hidden underneath and a perm that went very very wrong and is now only curly on ONE SIDE and your mom still tells you you're beautiful and she'd love to trade faces with you? You know how that feels? You don't have to question it too much, because she's your mom and you know she's probably a little biased. Blogging is a little like that. Until now, only my friends have read my blog. I coul...

christmas time's a coming

Only 23 days until Christmas! Remember when we were kids, and Christmas was all about time off school, lots of treats (chocolate, candy canes, oranges, turtles!), new Christmas dresses for the church concert, lights, music, decorations, noisy and exciting gatherings at Grandma's house, Christmas episodes of our favorite tv shows and of course presents! The list goes on and on. I still find Christmas exciting. Yet, now the season holds more than just the "fun" stuff. Now we have to worry about scheduling in all the different families and parents, buying gifts we can't necessarily afford, making dishes to bring to the different gatherings, hoping that people will understand that we need to share the holidays with many others, and hoping that nobody will be hurt if our time with them is short. I wonder if I'm doing a good job of making the holidays fun and enjoyable for my kids, and if I've bought the right gifts. I worry about what five days in a row of late ni...

the snowsuit

I really must go back and tell you about . . . duhn duhn duh . . . the snowsuit . I've most certainly kept you in suspense far too long. Remember last winter when there was no snow, but it was still cold enough to freeze puddles and require kids to wear winter clothing? Good, we're caught up. Jordan is really hard on outerwear. Last year she destroyed a pair of skates, lost various mitts and tuques, shredded her first pair of winter boots and left her snowsuit looking like swiss cheese. The boots and snowsuit were done before Christmas. I made her wear the snowsuit for the rest of winter anyway and the boots I replaced after Christmas. It's amazing that a six year old child can ruin a rather expensive snowsuit in a few short months. I blame mother nature. Mother nature thought it would be funny to make it cold and icy out without actually giving us snow. Of course children want to run and drop to their knees or tummy on frozen puddles and slide to the other side. Of ...
