An unexpected adventure

I will admit I have been feeling very burnt out lately. I don't know if it is all the rain or how busy we have been, but I just feel bleh. I have been trying to rally, but it has been rough.This morning, my husband planned to drop me off at the walk on because my shoulder has been killing me, pick up our older daughter at preschool and then I would watch our youngest while he took our oldest for an xray she needed.As we pulled into parking lot I see a baby bunny being attacked by birds. I tell my husband to pull over. He says he will park and take care of it. My youngest and I sit.im the car and wait. A few minutes later my husband comes back with a bunny. He chased the birds away, but the bunny's nest was nowhere in sight and s/he was startled. We decide it needs our help. Now, it was adorable and I wanted to keep it, but I know it is a wold animal that needs to be free. I hold it and we call my mother in law eho has a friend that runs a bunny rescue. She couldn't take our bunnies because she isn't licensed for wild bunnies, but she gave us a number of someone who could. While my oldest is getting her xray I am in the car with my youngest and the bunny (now in a nice, warm box) making arrangements with the rescue.We drove almost an hour out of the way and met a nice woman who rehabilitates and releases bunnies. Our little bunny was 2-2.5 weeks old and would likely nit have survived without help. S/he is safe and on special formula. S/he (too young to tell sex) is doing well. We will be getting pictures and updates and the bunny will be released in a 300 acre no hunting area.It was a good chance to teach our kids about helping. We also explained while we wanted to keep the bunny we had to do what was best for the bunny. We explained wild animals belong outside. Sometimes they need help, but then they have to go back home to the wild. They were so excited to help.I don't know if it was helping the cutie pie or tje fact my husband took such care when he didn't have to, but it was what I needed. It helped me feel good. I finally got my shoulder looked at (no relief, but hopefully it will feel better after a round of steriods). We had swim class and now I get to cuddle my kitties. It was a great day. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2oHeb1R
