RIP Little Shelia
| I came home tonight to a quiet house. I came upstairs, like I do everynight, and checked on the two little Houdini's. The munchkins are back with Jedi and I knew they probably needed to be feed. I went over to Shelia's cage, opened it up, grabbed the food bowl, filled it up and put it back in the cage. I stopped and looked down, Shelia wasn't moving. OH FUCK!! I have no idea what happened, she was fine yesterday. RIP little Shelia. Shelia, belongs to Lego Man and I don't know how I am going to tell him. I called Jedi up to let him know. He is just as bummed as I am. We agreed not to tell him yet. We have 8 days until Lego Man comes back to my house. Jedi had a plan, buy another one and don't tell him. I laughed my ass off. Then I stopped to think about how much easier life would be if I did this. You see, every damn pet he has had (fish, crabs, countless lizards and his dog 2 years ago) have died on us. It is to the point where he makes small comments as to why "his pets" always die. So yes, I am truly thinking about doing this. However, I still have a few other problems to work out. 1) I have to actually take Shelia out of the cage and do something with her. If I don't tell him, I will wrap her up and throw her in the garbage can. I feel real guilty even thinking about this. What if he finds out? He is not only going to be heart broken, but very pissed at his mom. 2) Do I clean / sanitize the cage or buy a new one? 3) If I do tell Lego Man, we can get another one that looks more like the other little Houdini "Scruffy." 4) If, I tell Lego Man, he is going to want a proper burial. This royally sucks. I know it is a damn hamster, that has drove me insane since the day my parent's brought it to us. However, this is my son's hamster. This is my son who has major issues dealing with normal everyday life occurrences. This is my son who we have been working on the last year to transition into Junior High School in the fall with his therapist. (A long story I will post soon). Why did this damn hamster have to die now? Along those lines, sorta.... I am not going to say much about Al-Zarqawi, other than "Our Military did a JOB WELL DONE!!!!" I am soo glad we got that fuck and I hope his ass rot's in hell. dyzgoneby 11 days smoke-free |

post a commentMy boys have goldfish at my parent's house. When Marvin, the Starvin Goldfish, died, my parents went to THREE pet stores trying to find just the right replacement so that the boys wouldn't notice.
So.... in walks my 5 yr old... runs past the tank, stops, turns around, looks at "Marvin".. and says "Hey! You got a new Marvin!", and then kept going. *sigh*
Point being... you can't replace it w/o LegoMan figuring it out. See if Jedi will bring him over for a proper burial, let it rest until he gets back to your house, and then go get a new one if he wants to. Oh- clean out the cage and have the hole dug before he gets there. Less drama that way.
Hope this helps.
I second that previous comment. Yes it is going to hurt that baby but it will hurt more so if he finds out later on.
You are right our military did a fine job. Very awesome there.
Have a new one waiting for him. Keep Sheila on ice for 8 days, so he can be at the burial.
I think if you have a new one there when he gets home it will make it easier.
Boy, the decisions us moms have to make for the sake of our kids. We try to fix everything.lol
afsister & christy...I think I am going to tell him. He is way past the point of trying to pull one over.
I try and teach my kids honesty and when I can't be honest about something like this, what morals am I teaching them.
military mom....I put 2 pairs of gloves on and placed her inside of FIVE bags. She is now residing in my freezer.
Who said being a mom was easy? The mere fact I had to touch a dead hamster is beyond the yuck factor.
