My plans for the day: have my devotions, walk Sassy, care for bunnies, get the boy up, make breakfast, go to Toddler Time, come back for lunch, Justin to bed, work on more organizing.
My actual day thus far: had my devotions, walked the dog, get home to ..... water on the floor. Oh...what's this? Discover the guppy fish tank has sprung a leak and had done so when I took Sassy for a walk...how do I know this? The floor was dry when I crossed the same spot earlier. Just a mere 45 minutes earlier! Good thing I came in the house first instead of going right to bunny care. :) Wasn't God good?
Quickly I rescued what fish I could find. We had...four males, four females, two middling youngsters, and about 8 babies. We now have four females, two males, two middling youngsters and I was able to find at least 5 babies, two of which I know are still living. :)
I heard "I need milk" call from Justin so he got that. Then I finished setting up the new aquarium. They are now housed in a 5 gallon aquarium. Quite the difference for them from a 35 gallon. But they are swimming.
Then I emptied the gravel out of old aquarium...boy...quite the significant hole in the seal!
Justin made the job a bit harder as he "helped", but hey...at least he wanted to help!
We'll set that somewhere to dry. Jim plans to do some research to see if it is fixable, and then we'll try again. :)
Got some food out for Justin to eat, and put a movie on for him. Then I cared for the bunnies, ate a small bowl of cereal to hold me over and will see what I can figure for the rest of the day.
There won't be any toddler time this morning. I am disappointed about that, but God decided that I needed to do something else this morning. :)
NOT what I had in mind for the day.

Ugh, what a pain, eh? But at least you saved some fishies. I'm sure they're grateful. :)
Ah Jen...Such a mess. Dripped down the basement. Water from a 35 gallon aquarium apparently can go EVERYWHERE. And all I wanted today was to get out of the house for a while and that's just not going to happen. Ah well...Now I've a floor to finish up...needs a good washing (or as Justin says...give floor bath?)
