Sure fire appetite suppressant

Warning - if you have a weak stomach...don't keep reading.

I woke up this morning...typical monday. Bleary eyed. Ready for my lil' sweethearts to start showing up. The first one that arrives always messes her pants within 15 minutes of getting here. No kidding.

So, I go to the diaper table which is currently housing 2 hamsters and their cages. I bumped the cage on the left and the hamster got startled and fell down the 3 story pipe. I apologized profusely for scaring her and looked into the top and OH MY GAWD SHE HAD A LITTER OF BABIES!!!!!!!! 7 squirmy little babies all over the cage.

Ok, so, I really think they're cute and all, and now I worry about parting with 6 or 7 hamster babies. How that will affect my kids, blah, blah, blah...

Now, I go online and read that if they feel threatened, momma hammies EAT their babies. Yuck. That's sad AND gross!

So, I'm now having trouble keeping my sugar free kool-aid down. My mouth is constantly filling with saliva and I wish I'd just hurl already.

Any time you want to stop eating, feel free to come back and re-read this.

OMG that brought back memories - my sister and I lived together and her 4 year old son and he had hamsters - we THOUGHT 2 boys - of course one turned out to be a female and a bunch of babies - all of a sudden this kid is screaming bloody murder and we go running in to find the momma eating the babies - EWWWWWWW....I'm not sure that poor kid ever got over it - and he's 38 now!!

If that happens, I don't think I'LL ever get over it. I hate stuff like that. Why can't we all just get along and not eat our babies???

If you met my daughter when she is being hormonal you wouldn't be asking that question.  But world peace has to start somewhere. Wait til they become teenagers and you can't teach them a thing they think they know it all.  Ho not a clue do they have!

OMG I read your post what memories came flooding back I had two of those rat/pigs guenea or however you spell it and went to school one day and came home and there was blood on the newspapers and seven of those little suckers!  OMG I think it was my intro to sex education!  And I found homes for all of them.  Then I was reading a novel where it had a line in it where there was an exaperated Mom yelling at her children and she shouted no wonder hamsters eat their young so I laughed out loud as hubby was driving the car and our daughter was in the back seat asking me whats so funny Mom and I told her and she said to me Oh gross and I made the gesture of my top front teeth over my bottom lip and every so often when she ****** me off to this day I do it and she just shakes her head.  Funny how those memories come flooding back.  Ick!

Great idea! I'm gonna' make a hamster face at my teenager and that'll be our secret "you're clog dancing on my last nerve" face. I'm sure I'll get the same reaction. Best to use humor to diffuse a situation than - well - many other things that flash through my mind.

Someday, I'll look back on this and laugh. Right now, I'm just incredibly tense worrying that we're stressing her out and she's gonna' eat em in front of my younger ones. Oh, every time I think of that my stomach flops.

I know some great places you can buy some awesome clogs and Uggs has a new line of them out where do you live?

As soon as you said baby hamsters I thought to myself "oooh, don't mommy hamsters eat the babies sometimes?"

Good luck with that one, kiddo
