Well it had to happen sometime....Today we.....well I should say just me, said my goodbye to Kayla's dear beloved pet goldfish, Nemo. I went in her room this morning to get her clothes for the day and turned around to find Nemo belly up at the top of the bowl. I gasped, turned off the light and left the room. Yes....I'm one of those moms now who replaced the dead goldfish without Kayla finding out. For some odd reason today she didn't ask to feed Nemo this morning. That I'm thankful for. Kayla has been having a hard time going to school each morning with lots of tears and anxiety about doing math. So the mornings have been a little stressful and today I just couldn't bring myself to tell her that Nemo died. Yesterday was the first day that Kayla went to school with no tears and I didn't want to backtrack and send her in crying today because of the fish. So I got the kids off to school, disposed of the remains, cleaned the bowl, went to Petsmart to get an identical fish and here I am. I've debated about blogging about it, because I don't want the kids to find out what I've done. I'll repent later.
So as for my science experiment with my friend Wendy, the count now stands at Branch's 2 original fish and Sorensen's 1 original fish.
