Dead birds

I felt much better today. I think I was definitely fighting a cold and it was making me really tired and grumpy. I hate feeling like that. Ricky left yesterday afternoon with his Dad for NY. He said he got a high speed award on the way up. The cop was nice though and gave him a fine for not obeying traffic laws, or something like that. But Ricky won't get any points on his licence and the ticket is around $100. Still not good but oh well, what can you do. He said he's going to make his dad drive home. He went out with his Dad this morning hunting and then they came back in around 9:00am to eat breakfast. Ricky said he went back out by himself then and hunted till noon. He called me after he was done hunting and then took a nap. He said they went out to dinner and then went to the go-cart track. Ricky said he won:)
I didn't do too much today. I spent too much time trying to fix my computer this morning and evening. I was getting so frustrated. I think I finally solved the problem though. I also spent a bunch of time trimming the holly bushes in the front of the house. They were really overgrown. I still am not finished but I had to charge my hedge trimmers.
There was a bird nest in our fenced in yard behind the swing with about 4 baby robins in it. I looked in there today and didn't see any! I don't know where they all went to. I keep finding dead bird around though. I saw Mishti kill one the other day. Today there was a young robin (I think from that nest) stuck on the fence. It was just sitting there all day cause I don't think it could fly away. Mishti knew it was there and kept going over there all day. Finally, in the afternoon she went over to look at it again and the parents were dive bombing her! It was pretty funny cause she didn't care at all. Also the other day, Chase was over playing with something on the ground and I asked him what he was doing. He held up a dead bird for me to see. "Eww, Chase put it down!" That was so gross. He put it back on the ground and then was petting it. We came inside right away and washed his hands... Blech!
Well, I need to get Chase a bath and then put him to bed. I think we are going attempt to go to church tomorrow without Ricky. It's hard to do because Chase does not sit still for me very well. We'll try it though I suppose.
