Our poor fish

Too bad fish can't talk. I rush around in the morning trying to get myself ready and then my two girls dressed and fed. I also run around trying to clean or organize. Next in line is Lady, our dog. She's usually pretty patient but she will let me know if I forget about her. We have her food in the laundry room and if she is hungry and we haven't gotten to her yet, she will remind us by hitting the door stop. It's her way of telling us she is hungry or thirsty and she is tired of waiting. So cute and funny but also annoying sometimes because she won't stop hitting it until we have taken care of things. But our poor fish can't talk or hit a door stop. All they can do is wiggle around like crazy when I walk by them. Well this morning I was really busy trying to get ready for the day and Makenna and Jordyn dressed and fed before the bug guy came. It was the first time so he had to come spray inside. I was also running around trying to straighten up the house. I don't know this guy from Adam but I still hate people coming into my house when it's a mess. Besides, he needed to have clear spaces to spray. Anyway, I walked by our fish tank a couple of times but kept thinking, I'll feed you in a minute after I do this and after I do that. Well, I forgot and didn't remember until that afternoon after a trip to Walmart. They were wiggling around like crazy in there. I told them I was sorry and finally fed them and they thanked me by splashing my with water while going after their food. I deserved it. I made them wait. Too bad the poor fish can't ring a bell or something to remind me. O-well. They got fed eventually.

Well, by the way my fish act, you wouldn't think so. They go crazy if it's just been a few hours. They are pretty big so I guess they have big appetites. And even if they could live that long off of their fat, I know they wouldn't WANT to. I swear they give me dirty looks sometimes;) And it was after the Walmart fiasco. Good times!
