Tackle It Tuesday

Seriously...did I really have time to participate?

I did!

Finding the time to post it is another story ;).

But here is my Tackle which I so have been meaning to get to and just kept putting it off.



Our fish tank and fish have been neglected for awhile. I can't tell you the last time I changed the water and it shows. I keep thinking one day I will be having a fishy burial in the bathroom but hey the little suckers just kept living.

This tank was bought for the kids last year and to be honest they cared about it for a day or so. Sammy enjoyed feeding them but hey Mommy forgets to half the time so he really did not get to do that job much before he forgot about the fish.

(By the way my next tackle better be dusting because I had to take three pictures of this tank and table while dusting with my shirt in between....I had no idea that in the picture you could see dust so bad...lol).

So I decided to clean the tank and put it up in the boys room. This sent Sasha into a fit that she wanted a fish in her room. We do have four fish and I had an extra small tank in the storage room so I thought why not?

Here is Sasha's fish "Dolly".

Unfortunately Dolly has since passed due to overfeeding.....sigh.

And here is the tank in the boy's room.

Their fish are Cora (my Mother in Law's name),

Sam and Goldie.

I think Owen names every fish we ever had Goldie. One time he named the snail we got after our neighbor....so funny, but you don't know our neighbor so it may not be that funny to you all.

So there you have it. My tackle for this week is to get my scrapbooking area cleaned up (I know, I know I say it alot but it will come true one day) and to get the kids pictures in their albums instead of the photo boxes. I keep thinking if something happens to me someday my kids will have no pictures in albums because I think I need to figure out which ones I want to scrapbook first before I put the other pictures in albums.

Let's be real, I have little time to scrapbook and that frustrates me so why not feel productive and get the pictures in the photo albums so at least the kids can look at them.

What are you tackling today?

Go on over to 5 minutes for Mom and check out some other Mom's blogs and see what they are getting at this week.
