Online Confessional: P.S.

P.S.

The pinkies opened their eyes today! They can see their momma now and chase her down-- but she tries her best to get the heck away from them as often as she can. I guess she's a modern, empowered gal, just fighting for a little time for "self actualization" (a little "Simple Abundance", perhaps? Yecch! I hated that book!)
The little critters are SOOOOOOOO adorable-- anybody want a cute little mousie? There are actually *15* babies we need to unload (hungry snakes need not apply).
