Poor Turtle!!

So I made a much needed trip to Target yesterday to get some necessary items for our vacation. I almost had everything I needed but there were a few more things I wanted to look at and Libby decided she didnt want to be there anymore and started crying. I rush to the check out to remove the screaming baby from their store and she falls asleep. Seriously? If I wasnt already in line with people behind me I would have shopped some more. Oh well I guess she kept me from spending some unnecessary money.

I pull into the driveway and begin carrying in the Lib and all the goodies that I had purchased and sat down on the couch, worn out from the trip. (simple shopping trips to Target are big exhausting ordeals with newborns). I then happen to look out on the driveway and there is something there. I put my shoes on to examine what it was. It was a squashed turtle with his guts hanging out...yuck!!! I had apparently run over the poor thing. I mean seriously..I have never in my life seen a turtle just randomly outside. I have seen turtles in Science class, the zoo, or people's pets but not out in the open like that. I am wondering if it was someone's pet? To top it off I asked my husband when he got home to scoop it up into a trash bag. He was not at all thrilled. When I offered to go do it because he didnt seem like he wanted to he enthusiasticly said "OKAY" (nodding his head). haha. So I had to shovel this turtle with his guts hanging out up into a black plastic trash bag and put it in the herbie curbie. Is that what you do with it? I mean heck I dont know..what is the appropriate way to dispose of a dead turtle? I have never done anything like that before. Brandon's vote was to leave it....um no..cant do that. haha. So the garbage men on Monday will have a nice smelly surprise.
