For Christmas Gaggi gave me her two African Dwarf Frogs to take back to Dallas with me, because she figured as much as I love my plants it would probably be fun to have a pet too...now these frogs are as small as a fish and they live in water and cannot come out of water, they also dont like lots of motion in their water, and they made the whole trip from VA, through TN, through AK and to Texas in the snow in my stick shift car (did i mention they are african) so to say the least, singing the song i've had the time of my life probably was not in order for them being that they were cold and shook around for 3-4 days. well at least that is what i thought. I get to Dallas and run up to my dorm and find that only one of my roommates, Vanessa, was in the room. excitedly i tell her about my frogs, then i proceed to pull their tiny little cube that they were currently residing in and the conversation went a little like this
"OH MY GOSH VANESSA WE HAVE FROGS!!!!!....frog?!?!?!?....oh my gosh, EWWWWW!!!!"
you know they do say that body heat is the best way to warm up if you are freezing...apparently my frogs got this memo and decided that now would be a good time to mate...so maybe i was wrong singing the song ive had the time of my life might be just right for this occasion, because they kept at it for the next two days. they sang, so our room sounded like the lake at night time, and then they layed about 100 or so eggs...so to say the least here i walk into Jesus school, with Gaggi (the oh so not Jesus school person) and mating frogs...in the singles dorm...to say the least it was the show of the night we had everyone come over to laugh, but at the same time it has kinda traumatized me and my poor roommates, and Sol, but that is just because she does not like frogs and she wants me to cover them up every time she is over.
Now to the next story.
Today i was extremely exhausted, and i got shakey and tired and to say the least i was just plain worn out, so i had to call into youth because i was scared to drive to Waxahachie with the way that i was feeling, so i crawled into my bed and got warm and turned on some Hillsong Pandora Channel and next thing i knew i was out for the next 3 hours. (good story huh?)
So in the midst of my sleeping I start to dream, now i do not remember everything about this dream or even who was in it, but it is significant for this reason and this reason only.
So i was dreaming i was staying with these people and their kids, i dont know who because i dont remember, but i remember they had kids, because i remember goofing off with the kids and riding tricycles with them and stuff. for some odd reason i had decided that i did not want to leave my frogs in the room alone with my roommates (traumatized, they dont like them, etc. i just decided not a good idea) So i pack my car up and I drive for like the longest time it felt like talking to the frogs (aka myself) and singing loudly, so i finally make it to these peoples house to discover that my frogs have had a tadpole that is actually looking like it is developing, so i thought about it a while and decided hey before they eat it, let me see if i can raise it. so i pulled it out, and by accident I separated the two adult frogs, so the tadpole, the male frog, and the female frog all had their separate tanks. It must have been spring break or summer or something because i was there at these peoples house for more than a weekend, and this whole time im there between playing with the kids, and everything else i was watching the baby frog grow, so about a week later this frog has fully grown and it is time that i can put it back into the original tank with its mother and father, so i grab the bowls and i start to try to put them back in, but for some reason the female frog and the baby did not want to go back into the original tank they had like death grips to the side of their tanks that they were in they did not want to mix. so i gave up and just left them. the two people i was staying with start asking me "now Hannah what the heck are we going to do with these three tanks? Where are we supposed to put them there is no room" So I told them i would get back to them i had to think for a little bit, so I left their house and went to a pet store or something like that, i headed back, i got in their house and i walk over to where my frogs were placed and i could not find them, the people were not home so i just decided that they probably put them somewhere and it was not a big deal i would ask later, so i just kind of hung out, and then they were home and honestly i had forgot, and it was time for dinner so the wife asked me if i could grab something out of the fridge for her, so i went over and opened up the fridge to find two tanks with frogs looking at me with their little beady eyes pretty much saying "help me!!!" and i turned around and i was like "YOU PUT MY FROGS IN THE FRIDGE?!?!?!" and they said "well there was no other place" i kind of laughed about it and pulled them out sitting them back on the corner and they came behind me and put them back in, they were like "really Hannah, that is the only place, and we would like it if you would just keep them there, we turned the temp up a little so they wont die and it should be ok" about that time i start crying like a crazy person and i turn around at them stomp my foot and say "YOU CANNOT PUT FROGS IN THE REFRIGERATOR!!!!!" they just looked at me then i began to jump up and down while crying and yelling "YOU CANNOT PUT MY FROGS IN THE REFRIGERATOR WITHOUT MY PERMISSION...OR EVER!!!!" and they just kept looking at me and seeing that they were not getting the point i pulled out my frogs and shouted loudly and said "ME AND MY FROGS ARE OUT OF HERE!!!" and within seconds i was stuffing my three tanks into my car and leaving...about that time Ariana walked in the room and i woke up...laying there looking at the curtain that i have on my ceiling i think to myself...what level of exhaustion do you have to be at to dream a dream like that?!?!?!
So incase you were wondering...you cannot put my frogs in the refrigerator without my permission or i will be out of here!!!...apparently that is a very touchy subject for me...just thought that i would let you know
