Long Week

So we started the week off by going about 30 minuets from home to buy some worms. Yes I said worms! We got a half a pound each of Red Wigglers and European Nightcrwalers. Then we took them home and set up 2 worm bins, for some great natural compost with out the compost pile.

Tuesday and Wednesday we just kind of hung around the house doing chores and cleaning (with not much to show for of course). Thursday we went on an hour drive to buy chicken feed and bunny food because I had a 10% off coupon and forgot to use it. Then my son, pooped in his diaper just as I was putting him into the car (they always do that when it's most inconvenient). There was no place to take him to change him and it was so cold so I waited till I saw a rest stop. Of course was no changing station so I put him onto the counter and changed him there with napkins. No paper towels to dry off your hands, just air dryers. Kinda funny too think about it if I hadn't had any napkins I would have had to hand wash his bum in the sink then try to dry him under the hand dryer... Ha Ha so funny when I actually play that in my head! I can imagine the mother and daughter that went in after us walking in to me holding my son at arms length under the hand dryer trying to get him dry.

Tomorrow my son and I will go to pick up a Silkie Rooster for my baby Bantam chicks while my daughter, is at school. Then go pick her up and later get some baby Quails... Yes Yes I am very much becoming a farmer and very much enjoying it! I love my farm and I love how it is only 5 minuets away from the city so I'm not too far away from a drive through Starbucks! Have I mentioned I love coffee and it is my vice? It might as well be a cigarette to me I am addicted! Hoping to get my dishes done too and as for Saturday It's gonna be a busy day at work! I'm guessing it's going to be a 15 animal bath day plus finishing half of that and sending them home to mommy and daddy looking shiny and new.

Sunday will be family dinner with my mom, and it's my gramps birthday so we will be having a party for him. Then Monday will be here again and it will all start over. I have a new goal to get the house clean... a puppy! I'm hoping that if I can get it clean and get stuff OUT we can get our first puppy. Yes we have 2 dogs, but one is 12 and the other is 6, my husband and I have never had a puppy together and they are so darn cute I want one! I wish he did too, we will see. That was this week, wish me luck on the next!

A day for me

It has been a crazy week. My close friend is in the hospital, so I have been taking care of her and her house. She has a couple dogs so they are really upset that mommy isn't home right now. I'm at the library getting a couple hours peace while my mother and Gram are watching my babies. I got to go online last night and update my podcast. I found this great new one called "The Because Show" I listened to their newest podcast and loved it and am now hooked! I haven't had time to really read any of their blogs but I am sure they are just as great as their show. Hopefully I will be either getting my computer fixed soon or getting a new one so I can stay on top of my own blog as well as reading others that I enjoy. For the first time in a while I feel some peace in me, I have been so stressed out about my house that I can't ever seem to relax!

Spring is on it's way here and I am now on 2 acres of land and I plan to make use of it. I think I have at least 30 veggie and fruits planned to grow and I plan on selling the leftovers and donating them to the local food bank. I also plan on adding some fruit trees. On top of a giant garden I am going to build a double chicken coop, to house both ducks and chickens and adding an addition to my home so my kids can have their own rooms. We also need to re dig ditches so we can have less standing water in the winter. Oh so much to do and I can't wait!

Cleaning for today: I got all the dirty laundry out of the house and am going to the laundry mat to wash it all. Then when I get home I will clean around and in all of our dressers so the clean laundry will be put away not set on our couch to get dirty or cat peed on again! Believe me this is a big chore, one of those ones that you do so much, but it looks like you didn't do anything. Off I Go!!!!!
