Fish Rescue 911
The other day, I noticed that the female guppy had apparently been doing the Weight Watchers program. Yep, not pregnant anymore. Only, there were no baby guppies to be seen. 
I did not mention anything to my son, because I was convinced that the baby guppies had become sushi snacks for the older ones. 
Oops.
Then last night, he was squinting at the tank. “What’s that fish, Mom?” he asked. When I peered closer, I saw the tiniest baby fish, no bigger than a hangnail. I transformed into an ER surgeon, thinking inwardly, we have to get a separation tank in here, stat! Move, people, move! 
With a swoosh of the net and the plastic separator insert in the tank, baby #1 was spared from an untimely death. Then we rescued another. I swear, once my son pointed it out to me, I found at least four. I wasn’t able to get the other two out until tonight–they decided to hang out with the algae eater underneath the rocks. Fortunately, we saved as many as we could. It’s nice to have some new life instead of more flushes.
In writing news, I fixed an outline that was bugging me and tonight I foresee multiple pages of writing in my future. Thankfully my trashy reality shows aren’t on tonight (I skipped this season of Survivor). There needs to be a Twelve Step Program for American Idol. 
Am I pitiful or what?

If you’re pitiful, add me to the list. AI junkie, checking in.
Congrats on the babies!
Our latest fish problem is green water. And I do mean GREEN. *sigh* No one told me I needed a degree in fishology to maintain this thing.

That is too funny about the fish!
I usually watch Amazing Race & Survivor but my interest is waning. I usually lose interest in American Idol once the auditions are over. I’m not a big pop music fan but the audutions are hilarious and I like Simon.

I’m finding this season of Survivor highly entertaining. It’s a train wreck in the making.
Melissa Says:
Wow. Glad you found the baby fish!!! That was a miracle that they survived the other fish!
Stacy Says:
Yeah! The Tank of Death might be saved yet.
There is a Twelve Step program for American Idol. The meetings started this week, one step a week,and they broadcast them on Tuesday and Wednesday nights because believe me, you are not alone. It works wonders because in twelve weeks you will be cured…it will be all over.:rotfl:
(Oh, you must read and sign the small print though because the cure usually only last until the next season starts.)

I must have the American Idol innoculation. I’m not knocking it or anything, I just think it’s funny. It doesn’t appeal to me one whit.
YAY for the babies! That is so exciting. Maybe that whole death tank thing will even out.
Grins*
