Now off you go in a baggie and back to Petsmart where we can exchange you for another fish that looks just like you. Life is so cruel.

Goodbye little Juke... goodbye
Today we are celebrating the life of our little fish Juke. Our time with him was very short but we will always remember him and keep him in our hearts.......
Now off you go in a baggie and back to Petsmart where we can exchange you for another fish that looks just like you. Life is so cruel.

Fish Update...
In case you missed the Something Smells Fishy post we did make it back to Pet Smart last night and decided on six fish. Their names are... Phineas, Ferb, Big Mac, Juke, Shy guy and Star. Connor's two are called silver fin sharks and Alex's are a form of cat fish. The sharks so far have been very aggressive (imagine that) they have been eating most of the food and we are not sure the other fish are getting any. The people at Pet Smart said these fish could be combined but we will see how it goes... I was relieved to check this morning and not find any of them floating on the top of the tank :). Not to be pessimistic but I know fish can be fragile.
Here are a few pictures from our first fish experience...

Perfect Moment Monday
I'm getting my perfect moment Monday in just under the wire.
My son (who will be 11 in about a week) was sick today. Without going into too many details (in case I embarrass him) He has been a little moody lately. I know it's his age and the beginning of you know what so I'm trying to be patient and loving. Anyway I've been feeling a little distance with him and not too sound needy but less needed by him shall I say. Already starting to miss him feeling him growing up and away.
Anyway my perfect moment came today. Unforturnately he was sick today and ended up on a pallet on our bedroom floor.. it's where he wanted to be (near the bathroom). So I was in and out every few minutes as well as daddy. After a while (and here's my perfect moment) he said "Mom can you just stay in here with me, I feel better when you're with me?" Of course it stopped me in my tracks. I got my own pillow and blanket and propped myself up beside him. We spent most of the day like that. I don't need to tell you over 40 people how much harder a floor feels at our age. But, I didn't care, I loved every minute of it (except for him being sick of course). We watched several episodes of one of our favorite shows.. Cash Cab on Discovery. Even though he had his eyes closed he was keeping track of how many right answers we got. We did spend some time on ESPN Sports Center (that's when I pulled out my Jennifer Weiner book) Thank you Terra for mentioning this author on your blog, I like her.
He's feeling a little better tonight. It's nice to know he still needs me sometimes... :)
