Tadpole (x3) and a Toad.

I found this toad on the way up from the community center today. It was really, really awesome. David and I went down there to catch tadpoles (which are also here), and we caught two of them. I can't wait until they're all grown up. Seriously, they're so big! They're already growing their legs in.

But, then again, I'll probably set my toad free after a few days. The tadpoles will have to stay, considering I'll just feed them - like - fish food or something for the next week or so until they're fully grown. They eat that, don't they?

... APPARENTLY SO.

I should probably find a better-suiting home than an apple juice bottle, though. My toad is currently living in a strawberry box - the see through kind with the holes. I put duct tape on the bottom and filled it with rocks and dirt, and even a little pool of water made out of tin foil. I should probably get a better home for it, too. Maybe even fill half of the aquarium with water and the other half with rocks. That would work, right?

Speaking of tadpoles, Jeni had her baby! It was a boy, 7'7'', 20 inches. I was so proud of her, but I haven't gotten to hold the baby yet, so I'm going to go over there tomorrow and talk to her while probably playing with baby, or just holding him. He's so adorable, and probably will be even more awesome since he won't be all red and goobery from the just-been-born thing.

It's so warm out right now, I'm sitting here in a shirt and short-shorts, no shoes and on my laptop looking for a babysitting thing I could manage. I would enjoy doing babysitting, probably about once a week or so, and get paid pretty well for it. I really love kids, too.

Alright, back to finding people who need their kids babysat~

Always, love,
Alex

P.S. -- THERE ARE SO MANY FUCKING BEES OUT HOLY GOD I THINK I'M GOING TO DIE. GO. AWAY. BEES. I DON'T LIKE YOU.

Tadpole! Come out!

Yesterday, I talked with my ex-boyfriend, got some stuff settled, and now I'm at more of a peace. I thanked him and told him that I was happy for him. We talked for about a half an hour after that and then after that, he gave me a ride up to my house and I chilled. I feel a lot better, less stressed.

Right now, my eldest sister, Jeni, is having her baby that is a week overdue. I'm sitting here in St. Lukes Hospital in Duluth, sitting in the waiting room on the Birthing Center floor. God, this is just intimidating. I've been sitting here since 2:45 pm, and I'm just so... Fff. Sick of waiting. I want Tadpole to come out! I want to hold it and just swaddle it and cuddle it and love it. Is that so much to ask?

My sister's mother-in-law's name is Jennifer as well, so we call her Jen. Jen loves to talk. She's been talking the entire day away, and balls. I'm getting so sick of her. I was trying to read earlier and she just kept talking and talking and talking and I got kind of... angry and finally just stuck my nose in my book and read.

I really don't know what I'm going to do... I need to get a job, but I could sell paintings and stuff for a good price. No, it's not very consistent pay, but I would really enjoy doing it. Painting and sketching. Maybe even doing collages and stuff. Masks. c:

Hopefully the baby will come soon and I can work a little more on my book and stories for online.

Always~
