A surprisingly decent day. I have not had many fits out of little one. Most were big sister induced. Did not worry about dinner or worry about hubs worry about dinner more like it... Stopped and got the kids take out. Son went in.
Hubs is doing something with the second job and not home yet tonight. It is about the kids bedtime. Boys have been upstairs little one has been minimul trouble, teen girl just annoying the hell out of me, but not pissing me off :thumbs-up Though when I told my buddy what she did he said I should have whooped her ass... Not my cup of tea. Though some days I wonder. I am sure he will give her grief when he comes back around.
I have tense muscles that are sore with a light headache but that is all. I felt at ease enough that I really did not feel an urge to take my meds this afternoon. I know I will pay hell if I don't tomorrow but still did not take the usual dose. Just did not feel I needed it, or wanted it so just took a little.
Trying to keep my chin up about hubs having to take a second job. I know why he has to but trying to tell myself it is "not my fault". He has been a dear about it and not an ounce of guilt tossed my way by him so it helps a lot. Just miss him.
No T.V., radio, video games, downstairs anyway, on. Sipping tea. And trying to stay relaxed keeping the kids quiet. Try to stay calm and eased.
Ordered 100 chicks today. They will be here next week. They were on sale at a really good price that I could not pass up and are the fast growing crosses that will be ready for the freezer in about 2 months. Never raised those kind before so it will be a new experience. I usually raise my own I breed for the freezer but I just was not up to hatching much this year. Well, I can look at it like this, they are already hatched so I don't have to worry about a power outage screwing up the incubator... Like it did my goose eggs this year.
I am already looking forward to Spring and hatching babies. Little turkey, goose, guinea, chicken, ducks... Nice to be looking forward to something instead of worring about something else!
Pretty uneventful day and I am really liking it that way opposed to yesterday's chaos. Only one stupid thing the animals pulled... I had a pane of glass break in my back window. I mean it has to be something like 12 x 16 inches... One of my 100lb dogs some how squeezed her way though it, and it was up high. I would not have believed it but she was in the brooder where a very wet chicken had been that needed some TLC was. Dog asleep in the wood shavings and a pissed off chicken running around the mud room. I yell at the dog and she leaps over the side on to feed bins and squirmed right back through... I would say stupid damn dog, but it was pretty slick! Need to fix the window. And this chicken cracks me up. It thinks it is a duck, hatched out by one. And stays in the duck/goose yard in all the rain and weather. It found its way back out on its own and flew back over the fence in the duck yard. It was an accidental hatching... duck found the eggs and decided to just sit on them LOL.
Speak of the devil... that ass of a dog just walked up and stuck her head in my lap. In again. yes, fix the window...
