Spring break so far for the most part has been fairly boring, well partly because there really isn't anyone here half the time so all there really is to do is watch tv and play video games. Though there still have been a few interesting moments.
First of which was on Tuesday. Cathy was home because her computer at work had the hard drive crash so she had to get a new one. So she was sitting at the computer and got up and moved over to the Reese (their guinna pig) and started saying "Oh my God" over and over again. At first I thought that something bad had happened to guinna pig, like maybe it had gotten hurt or something. After asking "what?" for about the fourth time she finally says "Oh my God, she is having babies." Not sure if I was to believe her or not I walked up to the cage and lo and behold there were these three little baby guinna pigs in there with her. Which seeing that explained how she had gotten so big because we were just thinking that she had gotten really fat but she was actually pregnant. They named them, Cocoa, Peanut, and Butter the ingredients in Reeses Peanut butter cups. Talking to the vet they said you can not hold the babies for two weeks because the mother might reject them if we do and that they have to stay with the mother four weeks and then they can give them away. Depending on the sexes of the babies they might keep one. They only will keep another girl because they do not want more babies. So if there is atleast one girl then they will keep that one and Jeralyn will get one and then the other will probably go the pet store since they have offered to take some if needed.
Also I finally got my car inspected today. The last inspection expired at the end of January so I needed it. But it wasn't without hassle. We originally went yesterday but I had lost my registration for the plate so we went to the NCDMV to get another print out of it. But they told us that they could not give it to us because I owed a property tax on it. That was the first I had heard of owing any property tax. I called my dad to see if he had heard anything about it and he told me that he hadn't. So I figured that I would call the county when we got back to the house to figure out what the cost was and pay it. But before we even made it home Jeralyn called telling me that she was already talking to them and asked me what my plate number was. So I gave her that info and she did all the work for me and even paid the tax for me which she took off the money she owes my dad. So that made me able to go down there today and get my print out and get the car inspected. Now I only need to get it washed. And get my haircut.
Not sure If I mentioned it already or not but William now has braces. On top of that he chose pink braces. Not sure why he just said he felt like it. He also has this crank thing at the top of his mouth that he has to take one turn on a day for 16 days straight. That is for the widening of his jaw. It is funny hearing him talk because now he slurs a lot of his words. Though he still is far from figuring out how to eat with them as it takes him much longer to eat than it does anyone else.
Casey, their dog, has been a real pain in the ass. She keeps chewing everything and peeing on the floor. Also like Clancy if she gets out she takes off running and you have to chase after her. Like this evening she got out and William and I had to chase her down. I literally made a diving tackle to catch the dog but only got her by one leg and so when I brought my arm around to wrap her up I accidentally punched her in the face. But we got her. Also any open door whether its the bathroom door or the pantry door she is right there and has to go inside. We have accidentally closed her in the Pantry about three times this week. Even opening the refig and she tries to climb in. Plus when the guinna pig babies were being born she had to be right there and know what was going on. So we would just pick her up and she would just watch. Never seen a dog so enthralled by something like that.
Other than a few stops at the grocery store and other errands that is pretty much my Spring break in a nutshell. Very exciting I know. Tomorrow night we do plan to go see the movie "Robots" as it does come out tomorrow. That's it for now I guess, I will post again on Sunday when I get back to school, unless something insane thing happens before then that bares earlier posting.
