So, I bought some rats. Their names are Venus and Serena Williams and they look like this. They're cute and kind of nibbly, and they love eating Cheerios and peeing on my hand. It will be interesting to see what happens when they come to school, because most people aren't favorably inclined toward rats. In the meantime, it is my (fairly easy) mission in life to ensure that these two ladies never come into contact with my other baby.
This is Paris - I don't know if I've ever posted a picture of her, but here she is
, and she would looooove to end up in the same place as the Williamses. So, for the next few weeks, my house will be just inches away from an episode of When Animals Attack. It could be exciting, but hopefully not. :)Speaking of crazy wild animals, I start teaching in two weeks. Whoa, dude. I found out today, also, that I'll be adding 3rd grade science to my schedule three days a week. So far I have no idea what that will actually mean in terms of contact or work involved, so I hope it's a grand old time. I do really like third graders, and they really like all things science-y, so it should be a good situation. So plop that on top of 6-8th grade Science, 6th and 7th Bible, and 6th History, and I'll be a busy one!
Ok, off to go buy a dead mouse for my live snake and some chewy things for my live rats. And maybe some house plants. Love love!
