Man, I've been so busy lately. I've been re-arranging my entire house, working on my books, I got a 52+k novel written, and almost 60k on book 2. Been a busy girl lately ;o
10 weeks tomorrow!!! just 2 more weeks until I'm done with the second trimester!
disco had a little altercation with a puppy who went to it's new home today, the puppy decided the feathers were funny on disco, so pinned her down and started pulling her feathers off her, 1 at a time...
i didn't want ot do staggered batches anymore, but it was one of the rare EE eggs we put in there, Abbie wants more green eggs, and as the older chickens stop laying over the next couple years, she wants to move her entire flock over to EE chickens.
I will probably order some new EE chicks...
I feel bad. I broke a duck egg and a chicken egg in my incubator last night. I lifted the lid to turn them and dropped it, and it smashed two of the eggs. :(
He was raised with his siblings, and been around chickens since he was a kitten. His mother is super good to my birds. She even caught one of the little tiny chicks that got out of the fence and just put her paws on it to hold it still until my husband could get it from her and put it back with...
Sleep is over-rated. Besides laundry, and cleaning up kitchen today, not much to do since the coops are all cleaned out.
I lost another Juvie yesterday though. That stupid barn cat struck again. I'm done. hubby's gonna shoot him. The fker had 3 strikes and i'm done. Of all the things he could...
Stable. A few days in the hospital and he should be home. He's got the flu, strep and pneumonia... and is still eating cookies and throwing cars at his dad and fighting his tubes, iv and oxygen.
Keeping kids busy is a good thing. My other three younger kids, don't feel the need to raid the kitchen every 5 minutes, but my oldest has always been a binge eater. The medication he takes, makes it worse in some ways because it increases his hunger feelings. Luckily, his metabolism has been...
We eat a lot of meat, I was planning on him being included in dinner, and eating whatever we cook - but if he wants "extra" stuff, that's where his budget comes in.
For what it's worth, we spend about 1200 a month on groceries, specifically, because we eat a lot of meat, cheese and other...
I force him to eat fruits and veggies, I also make him eat whole wheat bread, and protien sources like nuts and peanutbutter.
I'm pretty anal about him eating healthy and high calorie, specifically so he doesn't eat me out of house and home on top roman and hot dogs lol
He'll be shopping with his dad. His dad will be helping him figure out what stuff costs, and budget meals.
He'll still be eating with us, and until he can prove he can shop solo - he won't be allowed to fill his cart with junk. We weren't just handing him money and walking away. We were going...
my mother in law said I'm unreasonable because I said my teen had 25 per week, to budget for whatever he wanted from the grocery store... her first reaction "that's a horrible present".... I bought him 200 in art supplies for his actual present, and want to start teaching him about budgeting and...
My grandma didn't let me get my ears peirced till 13, so after I got them peirced, I promplty peirced my own ears with a second set, then I got a tongue and belly peircing. hahah
I don't have them anymore.
My 6 year old daughter loves makeup and nail polish, she's allowed to wear both, with...
My grandma traumatized me once, by cutting my waist length hair off, to a butch-man hairstyle, and I got tortured at school for being a "dyke" because of her.
I promised myself I'd never do that to my kids. It's their body, their hair. I let them have a lot of personal say over their own...
My son has an ugly hairstyle. His dad flat out told him it was ugly, and he wanted to cut it off.... my son has refused to let him cut it, to bug his dad with his "ugly" hair. LOL
Ugly is not a bad word, either. LOL
Oh, I know - I do let my kids be fairly wild, but we do talk alot about social behaviors, why certain things get reactions the way they do.
Being autistic, no one ever "Explained" that kind of stuff to me, and people take for granted that kids just know social graces as they age.... not...
It doesn't start at 13 for girls, it started at 6, for our oldest daughter!!!
We probably allow her to much control, she doesn't like being told no. ^.^
