Welcome To Sea World

Well, it's been another busy weekend. Think the time just slips right by me sometimes. So, Gracie came over yesterday, had to feed the frogs. Since she was on vacation all week she was dying to come over. Then on Sunday she got in her mind we were going fish shopping. When I changed out the 10 gal to the 55 gal, i had told her we would put fish in the other tank. I said we'll do it later, well it has been stuck in her head forever. So this morning she just wasn't going to leave me alone about it.

So, off to petsmart we went. For 20.00 you can get a Nemo tank, it has a filter, decor, light, food, and dechlorinate solution with it. Not a bad deal, it would cost me more to get my 10 gal tank in order. So, we bought the tank and 2 goldfish. I really don't want anything high maintenance right now, nor spend a lot of money on fish, when I'm going to get the 10gal set up.

Anyway, little by little we are adding more to our aquatic life here! lol I posted a pic of our new tank, you really can't see the fish but they are in there. 1 orange 1 white. The orange is Flounder and the white one is the Flowergirl. Gracie named them, not me! lol

FRIDAY - WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!

TGIF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I didn't think this week would ever end! Naturally today has got to be the longest day of my life! The last 2 hours of work, I feel like time has stood still! It's horrible! I've literally have searched the interet, played, and have done nothing for like 2 hrs now. It is such a slow day and I know the minute I would try to leave early that's when Bob would call and need something! lol

I just want to get out of here, not sure why thought it is so friggen hot out!

Anyway, hope everyone havs a great weekend!

FRUSTRATED

Okay, I truly think i'm an easy person to get along with on a work relationship. I normally don't have issues and we know we are not always going to like our co-workers. Okay, Linda is on my last friggen nerves really really bad. Like I want to beotch slap her that's how much she is pissing me off!

She is either slamming the phone all day, making sighs so damn loud it's annoying and does it all day and is just down right rude to people. I hate working like this. If there is any reason for me to quit my job and work 2 jobs to make this kind of money, she will be the one!

She gets pissed if the phone rings, the doorbell rings, if i talk on the phone, or god forbid another employee come and talk to me. See we share 1 open area. Our desks are apart from eachother so we are next to each other all day! ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG she really can ruin a person's day! So now i go home for lunch everyday cause i feel i need that hour away from her or i will slap her! But who wants to do that with gas so expensive, and yes i live only about 10 min away, it's not the point.

Okay, i'm done venting. She went out and ran an errand. i hope she gets a flat tire and can't come back! lol

Trying to blog more

I think it's hard to blog. I'm not a "diary" person. It's hard for me to come on and talk about basically nothing other than my frogs! lol I have no kids, husband, life lol so I have nothing that interesting to talk about. I could talk about my work, but who cares about that! haha!

I will say though, i'm jealous of my friends who are getting new teacher positions for the next school year and I know I won't be in the classroom. Some days I feel like I made a deal with the Devil to work here, and then other days I feel like it's all worth it. I do know if I go back to teaching in the fall/spring I will need to work a 2nd job to keep all that I have. I don't want to work 2 jobs again! I did that last fall, teaching all day then trying to work nights and weekends. I was exhausted all the damn time.

I'm a big believer everything happens for a reason, and I know that I came back to this job so I can buy my condo and be on my own again, but I also feel like I sacrafice being happy for a job. I truly am so friggen bored at my job I think sticking needles in my eyes would be much better.

I think if the perks were actually given to me like I was told ie travel, I wouldn't be so bored at work. I hate being in an office, I hate being tied to a desk, and I feel like I offer nothing. It's not rocket scientist work to type a letter. A friggen monkey could do that. Im not making a difference in this world by sitting here. In a classroom i'd be making a difference in the eyes of a child.

Maybe i'm just having a pity party today since I just heard the news of friends getting new schools to teach in. I know i'm here for some reason, it'll come to me eventually. For now i'll just have to be jealous and envious of everyone else.

I just feel all my hard work on going back to school to get my degree, all the pressure and the stress was all for nothing now, as I sit in this office next to a co-worker who I truly want to kick the shit out of! If they allowed violence in the workplace I would kick her in the head everyday! lol

Okay, I'm outta here. I already feel my blood pressure rising! lol

Monday, Monday

Well, it's been a long weekend. I'm so glad to have frogs back into the house, i'll be even happier when I start to hear them sing. The fact that it's been 2 days and there's been no singing nor humping, I might have all the same sex frogs! I was checking their feet yesterday, I'm thinking I may have 2 males and 4 females, or 4 males and 2 females, or just 6 females! So, i'll have to wait and see what happens.

I think with the last group of frogs it was about 2-5 days before they started their singing. So hopefully they are just being shy. This morning when I got up, one of them was on the lizard lounge in the corner and trying to jump up to the top of the tree it was so funny, then it just kept stretching! omg they are pretty long! lol

Anyway, i'm glad I have them back again, makes my house feel more complete that I have something to take care off! Hopefully they'll all survive! haha!

Showing of the new additions

Well it was a big weekend here for my house! The new tank is here, and the new set up is in place. I had try to make a wet/dry tank where it was 50/50 but my retaining wall sure didn't retain anything! lol I don't think I had enough rocks, so now the entire tank is filled with water, but ti's all good. Gives the frogs plenty of spece to play around. It's actually funny to watch them with there being so much room now. I have like a bubble maker thing which one of the frogs lays over, I'm thinking it likes the feeling of the bubbles on its underside! haha!

So, I have 6 new additions to the family, the only ones I can determine who they are right now is Bert and Ernie cause they are brown. The other 4 frogs are green and they are Snow White (Gracie forgets and calls it snowball) then there is Skip, Nemo and Rocky. Eventully I'll get their traits down and figure out who is who.

Anyway, hopefully i'll have better luck with this group!!! Enjoy the pics!!!!!

Black Monday

Well, it truly was a rough weekend. As of this morning, Sarah has passed away. I feel really bad, I did talk to Gracie yesterday about it, but she didn't really understand what death really means, she was just more interested if we were going to get new ones and can she pick out new names! lol I think I took it harder than her on thinking about telling her!

So, this week I will bleach out the tank and clean it really good. I'm getting a new tank anyway, I believe it's 50 gallons. My cousin has one and she said I can have it, I will need to get more rocks, and plants since it's bigger, but i'm very excited! I'm hoping to pick it up mid week so by the weekend I can go get our new family of frogs!

I still have a tank full or crickets, which I have no idea how i'll get out yet without them escaping into my house! So I have that to deal with still! arghhhhhhhhhhhh

Anyway, I feel bad for all the little froggies. :-(

Rest In Peace

I had a very sad day today. Sister and Annie have passed away. I'm not sure what happened or why. They were up and jumping this morning, I came back a few hours later and they were dead. I just feel horrible. I'm not sure if i'm going to tell Gracie, or if I should just replace them and not tell her.

I think i'll sleep on it tonight and decide in the morning. I'm going to empty the tank and clean it in the morning before I bring in any new ones for sure and make a decision. Anyway, it was a really sad evening to find that. I hope Mom and Sarah make it and nothing is wrong with all of them.

Very Exciting Night

OMG what an exciting night!!!! So I was reading up on fire bellied toads on line today and I found there is a way to determine the sex of the frogs. They say you can tell by the back feet. So, if what they say is right, then Sarah and Sister are males, and mom and Annie are the females! So i'm pretty pschyed about that!!! Hopefully they start having babies soon!!!!!!

So then I thought sister was having seizure when I came home. She was all spastic and just doing wierd things. WELL, as I took my normal seat to stare, I realized she was puffing herself up to shed her skin!!! Just like snakes do!!! OMG it was really cool, and gross!!! I mean, she was really huge and then kind of pulling at her skin! Then was eating it! lol okay that part is a little gross but it was just reallly cool!!!

Then over the weekend I bought a light, well, not realizing the plastic on top, yep, melted some of it! So i'll have to rig it a different way! lol

Anyway, exciting night at the Frog house!!!!

I'm such an idiot

Okay, I actually had a really long post like 2 days ago, and accidently deleted before saving I guess, not really sure. So, now it's time to catch up on things. So, last night Gracie and I fed the frogs, and I was looking at them and Sarah just seemed to be brown looking not green. So I was a little worried, so I told Gracie no big deal, now she's going brown.

So, last night I did some searching on the net and found that if green frog turns brown it might be sick/cold or dying! So, now i'm freaking out! I have no light on the tank, just keep forgetting to get one! Anyway, so I go get my clip on light from my bedroom and clip it onto the table that tank is sitting on, and put the light right in the tank. Figuring they might be cold, I don't know. Well, let me tell you, under that spot light, um Sarah is Green! LMAO! It must have been the lighting in my living room that made it look brown, cause she is as green as could be! lmao!

I think they did like the warmth from the light, but I'll need to go buy a real tank light so that's what i'll be doing this weekend. OMG it was so funny last night when I seen it was green! Here I was already planning poor Sarah's funeral, and thinking crap, where will I get another green frog! lmao!

Anyway, that's my frog update! I'll be back later!
