Just keep swimming, just keep swimming...
no eating here tonight, no eating here tonight, no eating here tonight, you're on a DIET!
Have I been watching Finding Nemo a little too much do you think? That is my favorite line.
We had our own little Nemo adventure today, or should I call it Dorothy adventure since the fish is named after Elmo's fish. As I sat here doing some website link updating, Eric was playing on the floor, exploring his world, as he likes to do. Matthew was at pre-school, daddy, who is back from his trip to Ireland and took the day off to recover, was out mowing the ever growing lawn. All of a sudden a giant crash jolts me to my feet and I see a fish on the kitchen floor, a broken aquarium and neon orange rocks all over the kitchen, sitting in a lot of water. Eric let's out a slight squeal, but is still standing holding the bakers rack where the aforementioned destroyed fish tank once called home. Then he drops to the ground and decides to go for a swim. He was fine, just a little scared for a second, then wanted to laugh and play in the water. Fish water, yuck! I put him in the pack n play and proceed to figure out exactly how to clean up this mess. Obviously the fish is dead so I will move on to other things, like the water seeping into the carpet. A minute or two passes, I grab some towels to stop the carpet saturation. Then what do I see, a goldfish flapping around the floor, he's ALIVE!!!!!!! He had not moved since the fall, I guess fish can pass out too. Maybe he was in a fish coma of sorts? Anywho, so now I think, maybe I should save him? Ok, but I don't want to touch him, ick. So I grab the little net, but that doesn't work, I grab the tuppeware lid sitting on the counter, thank goodness I had leftovers for lunch. I scoop him into a bucket and put water in it. He is still there till we can go tomorrow and get a bowl. He's just getting a bowl now. Not that the aquarium was much, it was a small plastic one, thank GOD since if it had been glass, crappola, I don't even want to think about it. All I know is I am so glad I cleaned the damn thing the other day or it would have been really disgusting.

Barb, you seriously had me busting a gut over here. You crack me up! And just so you're aware, we're HUGE Nemo fans over here, too; although it seems to come and go in spurts. We're on an 'off' cycle but I love Dorrie!!!
I'm dying over here! Too funny! Poor Dorothy...heehee.
Nemo fans here too. Who would have thought Ellen Degeneres would play such a good absent minded fish? lol
LMAO! Fish can live a while outside of water. Longer than I thought anyways.
I used to have two sharks in my aquarium and every day I'd come home and the little shits would be in the floor. They would race each other around and go so fast they couldn't stop and would fly out of the tank. LOL!
