Sophie... The Fish Killer

The events in this post happened April 28, 2008... I almost needed to engrave that date into a headstone.....


Oh, I'm so mad at Sophie.
That kid this week.... she's gonna drive.me.mad.

She asked to go play with Barbies in her sister's room. I was checking emails and grabbed a few minutes on SS. I said fine, just pick up what you play with.

A few minutes later (5-10 at the most), I went downstairs to check on her. I thought she was watching Alvin and the Chipmunks. I walked into the living room and she was hiding something behind her back. I noticed the open gallon of milk on the couch and told her not to open the milk and that I would get her some if she asked. I was looking for the lid and asked her where she put it. "Over there" she said, without pointing, hands still behind her back. "WHERE? Show me" I said. She didn't move just said over there. I asked her what she was hiding. "Nothing." I pulled her away from the couch and looked in her hands. I didn't notice it at first. My brain trying to process what she was holding. Then it hit me and I let out a scream!! OMG! She had Bella's goldfish in her fat little hands! It was not moving and I'm screaming at her. I grab a cup and filled it with water, slipped the fish in and ran upstairs to the tank. It's moving, but barely. Poor thing is fighting to stay on the bottom but he keeps floating to the top.

I'm so sad. I don't think he'll make it. We really enjoy him. For a fish, he's funny. Mooch is his name b/c every time we walk into the room, he's trying like mad to get to where we stand. BEGGING for food! No matter where we walk, he follows. He's happy when he eats I think it's hilarious!

I put the little fish killer in her room and she's been there for about 30 minutes. I can't let her out... I'm still mad. She's been told to leave the fish alone. Several times.

UGH!
I think a final swim in the toilet bowl is in our near future!

Poor thing.

Odd Things

I really tried to be good about getting into the whole blog thing. If you made it this far, then you'll realize that I haven't. Only one blog post before this one. I read several blogs, but, I just didn't see my life that interesting. I mean, WHO is going to read this thing besides me!?!? I'll probably read it several times over and over, cuz I think my life is HILARIOUS!!! But, I don't know who else will. So, I'll post just for me and see what happens!

I got this quiz from Kristi and it's the perfect way to break back into the whole blog thing.
So, THANKS, Kristi.

Odd Things you never cared to know about Amy:

1. Do you like blue cheese? NO!! NO!!! NO!!! Eww... However, I LOVE blue cheese dressing when its mixed with cream cheese, Red Hot Sauce, lots of cheddar cheese; baked in an oven and eaten with tortilla chips. Does that count???

2. Have you ever smoked heroin? No. But, I wouldn't admit it on this blog, cuz its public and anyone could be reading this. However, it's probably a lot easier to score Heroin in jail.

3. Do you own a gun? Yes. And, I'm getting my concealed weapons permit too... does that scare ya?
4. What flavor do you add to your drink at Sonic? I'd like to goto Sonic. We just got one a few miles from my house... tell those stupid people to stop waiting in a 20 car line just to go through the drive thru, so I can give it a go. YEESH!

5. Do you get nervous before doctor appointments? Yes. I know that they will weigh me. Why do they need to do that? Ticks me off. I refused once. Told them they couldn't weigh me and that little nurse looked at me like I had two heads. Then she started scribbling in my chart and I told her that I didn't care if she wrote that I was uncooperative cuz she wasn't going to ruin my day for a case of PINK EYE! Hmpf.

6. What do you think of hot dogs? Meh. I can do without them... But, give me a Ballpark hot dog at any Tiger game. Damn. Those are good dogs.
