5:12 Update

I'm not sure it was at 5:12 PM on Monday, but I did make Evan break open one of the duck eggs before I threw them away. It went like this: Me: Evan you have to crack one of these eggs to make sure there is not a half formed duck in them before we throw them away. Evan: Ok Bethany. He did and as it turned out, it was just an egg. And PDub and EDub are back to being happy and harmonious.

I had a few people over on Monday. Word problem- this afternoon I tossed out 7 empty bottles of wine which is one more than the number of people at my house. While at the house, Sara said she knew who Earl was without me even telling her because he came to the door and was looking stoned already. And we hadn't even opened the third bottle of wine at that point. People think I'm exaggerating, but that dog is high sometimes.

Additionally, Randi discovered a new route to enter the house: She tore the screen on my bedroom window and just hopped through. Convenient for her, but now I have to get a new screen. Today she and Earl escaped when I didn't close the front gate properly. Luckily, the truck was open and they just wanted to get in the truck to go for a ride. Otherwise I would have spent all afternoon chasing their asses around the neighborhood. On neither occasion did I hit Randi and Earl. One of my students did her whole exposé (two minutes talking in French on any subject) about how I talk about hitting Randi and Earl and the next time I said I hit them she was going to téléphoner à la police. (I do say I hit Randi and Earl. I also say that if they don't turn in their work they are going to the Guillotine, neither of which is very truthful and they know it.) Then she said (in French) "and I ask you Mademoiselle, what would you do if the police came to your house?" I said, "I'd call you to come and get Randi and Earl, duh." I also told that class if they didn't bring back their books I was going to take their first born child. Today said élève and myself decided this would probably not work out so great because Randi and Earl would probably eat the baby. Luckily, all the students brought their books back, so I am still childless.

I bought the ducks a new pool today because their old one has a hole it in. It's exactly the same, but green. I wanted to buy them this pool. (The dogs and guy were not on sale at WalMart-it was the only picture I could find.) This pool has a SLIDE! I could just imagine PDub and EDub jumping around. Then I imagined me digging a bigger hole so this would fit in and I said, the other pool is just fine.
Also, I've not seen any mice lately. This does not mean that they are gone forever. It means they are likely getting it on and making more mice to make me scream.
