Naming the "Pet"

Our Venus fly trap was the center of attention today.  The 7th graders were miffed I didn't get it last year.  But they had the most fun with it today! They found a dead fly and I used a tweezers to put it in one of the traps.  It didn't close.  Maybe it was too big or too crispy.  Then they found a dead mosquito.  That one was the right size, but it took a while to get the trap to close.  The fly traps are so tiny! They need to grow bigger.

Now we're trying to come up with a name for it... the best ones so far are: Chompers, Cornelius, Einstein, Venus, Steve, Bob, Kevin, Tom, Todd, Frank, and Sam.  Our presidential candidates' names also made it on the list (courtesy of the 7th and 8th graders), but I erased them.  We vote tomorrow! I'll pick five from the list and go from there.

And here's some not fun news... my stomach has been feeling yucky again.  I called the specialist and they're putting me on more medication.  Lovely.  I also have an appointment, but not until November 7th because that was the soonest they could get me in.  I'm on the wait-list, so if someone cancels, they'll call me.  Until then, I'll just keep praying and try to eat when/what I can.
