so i had to be at work at 8 this morning. i was tired.
so i get up. get showered. still tired.
get my coffee
still tired. let the dogs out. get the birds up and start their breakfast. as soon as i take the fiddie bowls to the kitchen they begin yelling. ollie: WHAAAAATTTTT!!! MMMMOOOOOOOOOMMMAAAA!!! WHAAAAAATTTTT!!!!...." marley doing his conure scream. twiggy: 'screeeeeeeeeee' <pause> 'screeeeeeeee' <pause> 'screeeeeeee' <pause> etc. skittles does his full voiced macaw scream. i'm sure they can hear him in cuba. i say "momma's making breakfast, please stop." no luck. everyone keeps up the chaos. so i finally get their breakfast made and in the cages. now ya'll might remember that skittles destroyed his quick lock crock. so breakfast on the veranda is out. his breakfast is in his room. ollie, marley, and twiggy dig right in to breakfast. but skittles continues to scream.
i give him a bite of food. he eats it. begins screaming again. he wants his breakfast on the veranda. which is impossible.
he screamed until i left for work. i was about ready to jab an ice pick in my ear!
so after a long day at work, i come home. i'm still tired.
let all the fids out. let the dogs out... and then back in. we have a storm coming. i go in the kitchen to get my cherry coke... behind me i'm trailing a parade... black puppy... brown dog.... red macaw.
brown dog stops, macaw passes him. brown dog steps on macaw tail. SCREAAAAAAM!
i pick up skittles. he's apparently mad at me cause he proceeds to bite me. so he goes back to his cage. i go back to the kitchen. look down. puppy, dog, macaw. <sigh> so i give up on dinner right now. thunder is rumbling. lightning is popping. its storming like heck. power is flickering..... the storm finally eases off. so i try to watch a movie and catch up on BP. darla cant seem to keep her butt and her chin off the keyboard. :somad: she closes my window 4 times. (as i typed that line, she came up and dropped her bone on my keyboard) i'm still feeling dead tired. i'm hungry. and i have a puppy bringing me every toy she owns. ollie is wandering the globe looking for... i dont know.... another amazon? a treasure chest? heck! maybe a blue eye'd blonde!
i've been home for nearly two hours. i still havent had dinner. darla has insisted on going out in the rain twice. she kept acting like she had to pee and when i get out there she wants to play chase the puppy in the rain.
bedtime will come early tonight for 4 fiddies and 2 dogs here in florida. cause momma is TIRED.
