Anemia...

Yup, I am anemic. I should have known that was why I have been so tired. Then again, I am in my third trimester and chalked it up to pregnancy. They have me on a three a day iron pill habit. I am sitting here, tired out of my mind. I cannot wait for this to help out!

In other news, my kids have two new pets! We have friends PCSing out (transferring) and had two hamsters they wanted to get rid of. We had gone over to their house last week just to visit and my kids got to hold them. They were totally down with getting hampsters afterwards. They offered the animals to us so we jumped on board. They came in their two seperate cages with food and everything. One is only three months old! They used shedded paper so the first day we had them, Tuesday, the whole downstairs stunk! I went the very next day, yesterday, and bought a huge bag of cedar. They love the stuff! One of the cages is the tunnel type with a nesting area at the top. She used it for her toilet before. NASTY! After washing it out, I shoved a bunch of cedar up there. She is currently snuggled up asleep in it! The other hampster, Mr. Poofy as I refer to him LOVES the excersise ball. The only bad thing? The lid pops off! I found out the hard way. He ran two laps around the house and stopped in the hall. Emma runs and tells me he got out. Sure enough, there he is on the carpet. He didn't run though. I was more worried about our cat getting him. She has been very facinated with them. No surprise there! Let's see.......little furry, smelly animals in her house. She has been good about it, pawing at the cages only a few times. She is used to them now and doesn't bother them at all anymore. The ball facinated her for a minute and then she did her own thing.

I have to go finish cleaning. I am feeling an urge to clean pop up from my insides. Right...anyway I am going to try and get my blood flowing and clean up the mess they left from me cleaning their cages yesterday. I didn't get to it with all the cookie delivering we did yesterday evening. MMMMMM! Girl Scout cookies.......
