Hormones & Murderers...

Last night was a rough night for this preggo. I was getting ready for bed while Miss B was taking her nightly pee break. She was barking a LOT during this little pee break so I went to see what her beef was. Once outside I could hear this awful screeching following her barking and jumping around like a hooligan. So I ran back in to grab a flash light thinking she had ANOTHER bird. (Yes she swatted a bird from the air and then proceeded to stomp on it like it was her toy. SO NOT COOL!) When I got her away from it I quickly realized it wasn't a bird but rather a BABY BUNNY! There you have the murderer now lets talk about those hormones. I immediately burst into tears, not just water in my eye tears, but gigantic sobbing blubbering mess tears with a side of hyperventilating. I corralled B back in the house and about this time the Husband came out of the shower to see his wife gasping for air as she was yelling at Miss B telling her she had not raised a murderer. Oh to see the look on his face - priceless. Eventually I got it out that she had a bunny and probably murdered it and that he HAD to do something! So being the amazing husband he is, he went out and took care of dead baby bunny. Then he came back in to find me still crying. He even prayed for baby bunny and it's mom - how sweet is he?! Then he asked me - quite shyly - why I was crying so hard? Well... I don't really know. I'm going to take the preggo card on this one! Ever since I got pregnant an injured animal just makes me burst into tears. You all know the abused animal commercials with Sarah McGlaughlin signing in the background, yeah I have to run out of the room before the flood gates open. Just hearing her song on the radio triggers the water works! The only reasonable explanation I can come up with is that seeing an injured animal makes me think of our baby and how they are both so innocent - but even that doesn't really make sense. I can watch a commercial about feeding the hungry children throughout the world without tears. I don't enjoy it by any means, but my face doesn't immediately take a shower! So yes, I'm pulling the preggo card on this one and I'm still mad and not talking to B. Poor thing doesn't even know what she did! I hope you are all having a better week than this crazy preggo lady, I'm ready for the weekend!
