Last day of April....Still raining

I found this great poem it goes..."when you want to climb the walls and stand right up and shout, here's a little dammit rabbit that you cannot live without. Just grasp it firmly by the legs and find a place to slam it...as you whack the stuffing out yell dammit, dammit, dammit! If dammit's not a word you say then twist its skinny little neck, and grumbe out repeatedly oh heck, oh heck, oh heck!" The poem came with a stuffed rabbit. Well the only thing that I need to vent on is that the wonderful rabbit that we got for Easter is now DEAD! Why? Don't know...but it's definately dead. I was hoping to go online today and find a replacement before the kids found out....well that didn't go according to plan because my sister came down to watch the kids for 3 hours while I was at work and the kids wanted waffles for breakfast. we were out of waffles in the freezer inside so she went to our outside freezer in the garage (where the rabbit was kept) to get some more....well the kids followed her out and Madison saw and asked if it was dead. Lindsay didn't know well Madison being the 5-year old that she is wouldn't let it go and made Lindsay touch the rabbit to see if it was dead. (Lindsay want's me to put in that she is now traumatized from having to touch a dead bunny...She'll have do deal with a lot worse once she's married and has kids...but oh the life of a single girl should not have to touch a dead bunny) She then can't get a hold of me at work (cell battery was dying) so she called Daniel who was in a meeting and left because why on earth is Lindsay calling him? She let him know that the bunny was dead and he responded that we already knew...not the thing you tell her after she's had to touch it to make sure it was dead. So I get home to an upset Lindsay saying "You could have warned me!) Crap...did the kids find out?....yes well there goes the plan of switching it before the kids find out. Then Madison walks up to me and promptly announces to me that the bunny is dead! As for a new bunny well...with this "late" bunny we got lumber and hardware cloth and started building a rabbit hutch for the backyard...so when we found out the rabbit was dead I asked Daniel this is number four should we call it quits on the slaughter of bunnies at this household with which he responded...NO! I have $50 of lumber and a half built rabbit cage...We are getting another bunny! So it looks like I'll be looking for a new bunny (hopefully this one will last longer than 3 weeks)
