Looong week

This has been another long week :( Not sure if it is me or just the world that is off...

Nope it's the world... my car is right side up.... just sayin'


Not so pretty lights... you cannot even see the mountain  

Glad I am not having that kind of day!!!

I need to go out to the chicken house and see what "gifts" my girls may have left for me.  Always fun to find fresh eggs!  Or a stray snake... but it is too cold for snakes so maybe it will be eggs!

Thank goodness for technology or at least I think I feel that way... could change if I cannot get my printer to work or the fax machine. The little girls just came and asked if they can get into the bath... that could be scary. I can picture floods and baby alive floating over the side and down the steps.
But it is Tuesday... probably a week from the Tuesday that I started this post...

Good news and Bad news There were 10 eggs today!  Say that would be 5/6 of a dozen... I think.. I digress the bad news is that stupid rooster busted out the light again grrr. at least it didn't land in the straw this time and melt.

So now to find the pliers and go out there and remove the rest of the light bulb from the socket and install a new one. I will close for now as it will be dark soon and I need to do this while there is a bit of light in the barn... couse who knows where the kids put the flashlights this time... kids... chickens....kids....

The contents of this post are from early February. I was going to delete but thought more about it and decided to share. Sorry the pic's are sideways. As I sit at the table and look across to the counter in the middle of the room some call an Island, i bask in the silence that is now. Soon the island will be cluttered with items needed to make lunches and chaos will fill the silence as the house gets moving and kids get ready for school. There's only a few minutes until everyone else starts getting up. Today is hippotherapy for the youngest. The wind is howling right now so they may cancel it if it's too cold for the old horses they don't go out. It's too cold for this old horse! For 3 days we've been able to go outside without coats or sweaters or jackets. Yesterday the storm clouds brewed like they were going to dump an ocean in the yard I ran outside and grabbed seven batts of insulation and took them to the basement to save them from the rain. By

To be or not to be... that is NOT the question!

 It is the day before Thanksgiving and our plans have drastically changed. We will not be going to my daughter's home, and we will not be having turkey with her. I did manage to find a turkey and it looked smallish to me. Turns out it was only a pound smaller than the smallest one at the commissary. We will go for the bone density test this morning, and I will drop the dog off for groomer at my daughter's this morning on the way to the density test.  It might be a ham thanksgiving this year if anything at all. I am not complaining. I don't want to clean or cook as no one in this house even eats all the stuff. That was all yesterday and like everything in my life it changes hourly. We made it to all of our appointments and with the kids in tow! We did not get to any stores, because I do not do stores with kids if I do not have to. The dog got dropped off, the bone density test was done, the equipment for the sleep study got picked up, and 5 D tanks of oxygen. We even managed

Black Friday... White Snow

 It is the day after Thanksgiving and the ground is covered. Black Friday shopping is not something I normally do, so this is not an inconvenience for me. We went to my daughter's home for Thanksgiving and a much smaller group of friends and family were there. My son was not feeling well so we took him some leftovers on our way home. Because the meal was not here, I do not have to deal with the leftovers or the post meal drama of what to do with all the leftover food. But that means no snacking foods either... it is a no-win situation. I get to make fresh food though and that is a good thing. I just tried to go out and return a medical device and the roads were very icy. I decided it was unlike Dunkin' Donuts, not worth the trip. Not to waste getting as far as the General Store I did buy the kids some soda for movie night tonight. We already have lots of popcorn and still some candy available. Now to find a good movie. the dog is being lazy Instead of a good movie we found that
