This morning Calvin let me sleep in 35 minutes. It doesn't seem like much, but really it was! It is funny though b/c I have developed this habit over the past 2 or 3 weeks. I/we (me and Calvin) wake up at 530am, I change his diaper, put away the dishes and then we sit on the couch/play on the computer from about 6am-730am-ish. So, this morning I had this thought of "O, no, I totally missed the early news".........LOL, b/c who cares!! I got to sleep in! It is amazing how programed we are to our schedules and how when we get off of them it really messes with us.
I have learned some new things this week. In the midst of all that is going on in the economy, people are finding peace and self fulfilment in helping the "animals". Twice this week, there have been top stories on animals (in the Today show). Apparently the celebrities are putting up a big stink about the elephants in the LA Zoo. Saying that they need to be in their natural habitat, so the are making the state of CA redo their cage area at the zoo!!!! That would be a whopping 1.4 million that could go to make our economy better!! Not to mention that now other zoo's around the US are taking out their elephant cages...So aparently our kids aren't ever going to see real elephants now.
Also, this morning there is a polar bear in Germany that is 2 today and is depressed and the zoo keepers want to relocate him to another zoo b/c they don't have the 10,000$ a year to purchase and feed his mate. So there were these ladies who had flown all the way from the USA to petition the zoo to keep him!! Ok there was 1/2 the money the zoo needed to keep him in their plane tickets...
Anywhoo-I like watching the news. I am very educated now:)
