I don't WANT to babysit kids.  I stay home with mine to be with mine.  I am not obligated to watch other people kids for 20 bucks so you can save money and make money.  Really?  It's $200 a week here for baby daycare.  

 

Ok sorry.. I'm just disappointed.  This is my BFF from childhood. And I'm disappointed and feel taken advantage of.   That's all.

 

One more thing.. I agreed to be the babysitter's (Mother in law) back up.  Sure, I'll help if she has something come up.  I'm thinking once a year maybe.  Oh no... she tells me later that it will be 3 times a month.  Something she should have said from the beginning.  She said "backup".. in those "rare occassions"  that something happen.  Knowing the whole time she needed someone 3 times a month.  

 

This is really eating away at me I swear.     I need to get over it.  I'm just disappointed in the way this went down.  

 

 

***Unnecessary Rant is OVER***

 


I would tell her to keep the 20, and in exchange take ALL your kids for a half day everytime you babysit so you can get a break. big_smile.png

Updates from my end.

Still waiting on PR to email with my ducklings.... QJ got her email that her eggs are coming so I know they are filling orders now at least. I'm  hoping to get them this month but it could be May like the rest of my ducklings that are coming this year.

 

My silkie ducklings are coming May 14 with alternate dates the week after.

 

and My SQ Ancona ducklings are coming sometime After May 1st

 

When May finally gets here and all my ducklings are in, I'm going to be stuffing duckling where ever I can find a place for them. That will be 30 + ducklings ep.gif

 

I better start getting brooders figured out now.

 

 

I was so close to taking my horse out for a ride yesterday. I had a dog to groom for a client in the morning, but my afternoon was open so I rushed home and saddled Dandy up and my Mom saddled her mare up then we start hearing thunder in the background and before we could get our bridles on we seen the storm clouds roll in and a cold wind come whirling in so we decided to play it safe and not wind up out on some dirt road in the middle of a storm on our horses. Glad we did, because Wind, Rain, Thunder and lightning all came with the storm.



Thanks! She has quite the appetite, and has learned to crawl on top of her blanket and yell when she is hungry. Quite the demanding little rodent.

 

I hope you hear about your ducklings soon, can't wait to see the silkies.

It's official.  I sold a pair of ancona ducklings.  The lady wants to come get them either tonight or in the morning.  I don't know whether to be happy or sad.

 

I also listed my new african gosling with one of my toulouse babies.  It was hard to list them and bums me out just thinking about selling them.... but it is for the best.

My menagerie includes 5 horses, 3 dogs, 4 cats, 33 geese (dewlap toulouse & african) and 11 ducks (muscovy, ancona, cayuga & silver appleyard).

QJ, no sauce as yet.

Give me a break!  It's gotta be soon.. How long has it been? I need to think.. They said up to 14 days.  Seems like it's been at LEAST 2 weeks.  Of course it has.   Hasn't it?  I can't remember what I did yesterday.  I'll find the receipt and check.

You placed your order right before me. So surely...

You should be happy.  It's hard though.. It's like a part of you is gone.  That sounds cheesy but it's true.
