Busy ... busy ... busy!!!

This past week has been so busy. I lost 2 more fish, at least they where only Mollies. The baby Mollies are getting bigger. I think my husband has been feeding the fish way to much. The poop is not breaking down fast enough. I think I have to watch him, or I need to just divide the food up at the begging of the week. Fish food that I would normally go threw in about 6 months my husband is going threw in about a month. I don't mind that he enjoys feeding them several times a day be he needs to put a lot less in the tanks. Oh an we did a filter change this weekend ... can I say EEEWWWWWW! That was so gross. I think I know where all the fish food ended up. Oh and next month there is going to be a post wide yard sale ... YIPPEE! So for every thing that has not gone to the garbage or salvation army, if there is any thing left by then will be in the yard sale. I wonder if my husband is going to sale any thing? I hope to get rid of a hole lot. Down sizing is a must for me! I want to get to a point where we no longer have a storage unit. At the moment that does seem to be impossible, since living in Army housing the house is so tiny. It is so small for a 4 bedroom I don't even want to mention how many sq. feet it is. What makes me feel really bad is I am helping a friend of mine with house hunting. We went and looked at a 3 bedroom that was 1500 sq. feet. A 3 bedroom that is bigger then the 4 bedroom military house that I am living in, and my kitchen makes up less then 10% of that space. Can I move now! I now know why I have a storage unit. Because I have no room in my house. This really sucks! I also down sized before I moved into this house too. I feel like purging again. I think I should wait for my husbands opinion on this. Last time I purged I got rid of things I was suppose to keep ... oops. So in part of my purging process I started on some of my stuff which has been really hard. I figured if I have not touched in in 6 months get ride of it. That was the problem. I am crafty and every thing I have I have touch at least 3 times in the last 6 months, but I have not bought any more. I figured that I will finish all projects and send them out. I got a lot of things done of the winter months. I should keep a list for my self and I should not start any new projects until all others are done. Any and all sewing excluded at this time since my sewing machine is dead. I need to get a new foot pedal for it or see if I can get the one I have now fixed. I am surprised it lasted this long I have had this sewing machine for 9 years now and I have put it threw hell. Ok so I think I have blabbed way to much I must go to bed or at least do something productive. I am currently working on a blanket for one of my uncles. So maybe I can go work on that now.





bye bye now!

What a weekend!

I'm glad that it is finally over. My mother gripped about my friends, nothing new there but I just get so tired of it. At least this weekend went over semi-well. There where no fights or arguments, thankfully. She complained about my spending, but the only spending I did was on food. I will never try to under stand the woman. My step dad on the other hand enjoyed him self. I'm happy to have an empty house again. I can sleep peacefully again, yaaaa! Speaking of sleep, I think I am going to head off to bed. I have been so tired from this cold and I still can not seem to shake it.

Stress what stress!!!

Let's see ... where to start. I'm sick and my mother is coming to town. I'm not sure what is worse. I was just hoping that she would not show up but that will never happen. At least my step dad is coming to mediate things. I just would rather she not come thou. I can handle being sick, but both uggg. This is going to be a long weekend. All my fiends have already told me that the are staying clear of my place, so I will have no one to hang out with this weekend. She is so ANAL too. I think I have mentioned this before. Well I must be off she plan on being here bye new so I must finish my rearranging and cleaning before she gets here.

blah!

Ok so no more new fish for me. I got a second angel fish from Pet Smart and I had to take that one back too. Angel fish are just to sensitive. I even had my water tested and every thing was fine. So it's the fish! So I have one Angel fish who is all alone ... and must be very board since it likes to chase my beta and one of my sucker fish. (There is some thing mentally wrong with you when you chase some thing 15 times bigger then you.)

On a better note! Thank you Becca! I have now put a counter on my page. Yaaaa! I did it all by my self. I did have to read the instructions a few hundred times before I semi understood what it was saying. So I hope that it is working right. I guess I will find out in a couple of days when I go to look at the stats.

tomorrow is going to be a very long day for me. My mother is coming down Friday and she is very ANAL about how a house should look. So I will spend the day cleaning. Yippie!!! NOT!!! So my process of going threw the house hold stuff will be slowed down by my mother being here. She would have a shit fit if she seen my living room and my computer room. I don't like the idea of putting every thing away to just drag it all back out on Monday, but worse yet I would hate to leave it all out and have to listen to my mothers mouth all weekend. My kids are going to be devastated when they come home from my In-Laws. Muhahaha! I have gotten rid of a lot of stuff but I have much more to go ... such as toys ... Muhaaahaahaha! Man do I feel evil every time I think of throwing out toys. I do have the temptation of wanting to just throw all the toys out, but I do need ways to keep my kids out of my hair when they are home again. So I do have to keep a few. Hum one for each kid works >:~

Like I said ... I feel evil!

It's been a long day

Very long. One of the Angel fish died last night so I returned it. Yippy, not! They had no more but said the new stock of fish will arive on Tuesday. So I will go back to wal-mart then. I must have went to 7 pets stores today. No one had a good selection ... what a bummer. So it has been a long day. I only got 2 loads of laundry done today. I don't really feel like doing any more running around but I guess since I started it, my husbands wants to go a few more places for fish. Now see what I have done! I did buy one more angel fish today at pet smart. I guess we will be going to Pets Barn next (besides that they offer a 10% military discount here). Well off I go to introduce our angle fish to the tank water.

More Fish

Well it was late so instead of a pet store my husband and I went to wal-mart. We got 2 more fish, this time Angle fish both are very pretty. One is silver with very thin stipes on it, not like the 3 normal thick stips but I would say maybe 30 or more stips. The other is mostly black with a small part of it's face that is white. I don't yet have a picture so I can't post but I hope to soon. I am hoping to go to a pet store and get some more tomarrow. So now I am up to 34 fish as long as my angle fish don't eat the baby mollies.

Well ... today was pretty good. A little long but good. I got to hang out with friends and just be my self. My husband is a little mad at me because I did not go to Curves today, but oh well. I am going tomorrow to make up for it. (Well it is tomorrow, I should be in bed.) I was looking in my fish tank last night I have more baby fish ... Yaaaaa! I think! This is the second batch of baby fish. Mollies reproduce way to fast, so I don't know if that is a good thing. I am thinking about getting some Angel fish 6-8 maybe, I don't think that is to many since I have a 125 gallon tank.

So far in this tank I have:
1 beta
3 Plecostomus (Window lickers)
6 catfish
1 male silver mollie
7 female silver mollies
1 female golden-orange mollie

1st batch of babies: are about 4-6 weeks old I only have 3 from this batch 2 are all black (still trying to figure out that one) the 3rd one is dalmation mollie (black and white, more understandable but I have no black adult mollies).

2nd batch of babies are about 2-4 weeks old most are light colored but still to small to tell what the permanet color is going to be. So far my count is 10.

So I guess I have 32 fish as long as I don't find any more babies or they have any more.

My adult silver female mollies are getting bigger too. They where all about an inch when I transferred them from the 29 gallon tank to my 125 gallon tank. The male silver mollie and the female golden-orange are the only 2 new additions to the 125 gallon tank, and the male has gotten bigger too. The golden-orange mollie still as small as when I got her (and she is the one having babies). I think it is funny this tank is suppose to be my husbands but I seem to be the one to be taking care of it, well feeding the fish any ways. I still have not figured out how to take the filters apart, but they sure do keep the tank clean. They are nice too they cycle 300 gallons an hour and I have 2 on the tank. The water still looks clean too. The tank has been up for 2 months now.

I sold one of my 29 gallon tanks to my neighbor. They have had the tank up about 2 weeks less then we have. They are doing pretty good but the water has a green tint to it, but with out testing it I could not say. (I think to much algae.) She also has mollies, jeeze kind of popular hu? Hers also had babies she has some pretty ones too she also has sharks and mickeys too.

I am thinking about getting my other 29 gallon tank out and do it in red, white, and blue. Yes I am patriotic! I might wait, at least until the summer when my girls come back from my in-laws. I would like to let them help me with it, they also love fish.

Hummm....

Well I hope that this works. I had another blog but it would not work so I am hoping that this one will work. I always got error messasges when I would try to publish the post.
