SHE SAT UP BY HERSELF + (DEAD ANIMALS . . . WHAT ELSE?!?!)
With the assistance of a stuffed Piglet, which she rolled over on, she finally sat up by herself. She has been going from her side to almost pushing herself upright to a sitting position for a few weeks, but until last night, had not yet accomplished it.In other news, I guess my friend Bridgette is leaving Rockport. I talked to her this afternoon and well, she is not coming home, although, I am not sure that she is moving in with the ex either. I guess we will see.
In dead animal news, on my way home from Wal-Mart, I ran over a black snake. I ran over him on purpose too. Immediately afterwards, I felt extremely guilty. Black snakes, when they are not in someone's home (like mine) serve a purpose in the animal kingdom. (side note: when my Mom and Dad were living with me while building their home on the other side of our farm and moving things that they had stored in my basement to their new home, they accidently left the basement door open and I found a black snake in my bedroom closet) Black snakes kill rats and mice for one thing, which is helpful when you live out in the middle of nowhere, on a farm, where mice are abundant and rats can be a problem when you have feed stored in the barn. This particular snake was not near any barns or homes and just happened to be crossing the road, so after my hostile act, in sunk the guilt. I am however coping by telling myself that it will end up as food for the turkey buzzards that are plentiful (update . . . when I took Joey to Boy Scouts, it was not in the road, therefore, I may have only injured it.) On my way to my girlfriend Brenda's house after killing the snake, I dropped off my Wal-Mart items and since Charleigh-Anne was sleeping and not wanting to awaken her, decided I would go over there. So, I drove the back way and there it was . . .a poor ground hog in the typical "dead position", on it's back with legs straight up. Someone had to have hit that one on purpose, as the road is so rough, you cannot travel more than 10 or so MPH.

Yay about C-A.
Sorry to hear about your friend moving.
I once hit a snake with my car (Camero), and I thought for sure it was dead but it wasn't. Which was totally different from the duck I hit once while driving my grandpa's car.
When I once hit a pidgeon, all I saw was a poof of feathers, like a down pillow exploding (that one I hadn't meant to hit, but it was hit him or that big redwood tree.
