The other is very week.  I'm giving it diluted vita/sugar water often, but it doesn't seem too interested.  After I water it, it talks at me a little bit.  Come on ya'll send that good baby energy toward "sleepy".  I hope it makes it, I want two sebs.

But naturally the minute I shut the door and locked it the 3 yr old's mommy radar went off and she was knocking on the door.  So I'm doing my thing and the baby goes and opens the door. The whole time I'm sitting there trying to hurry up saying, "No honey, no honey, dont open the door."  Well that didn't work.  She unlocked the door as I'm jumping up trying to pull my britches up because the door opens to the service station.  So basically, all the men working at Midas "might" have seen me in this charade.  

 

And then I went to the DMV... but they don't have a public restroom so all was well there.  

 

So how was your day?  

 

gig.gif i am laughing with you because a similar thing happened to me last week but i know they all saw my butt

Well, here's the almost-final total:

7 Runners (1 very weak)

8 Black East Indies (2 very weak)

1 mixed breed (Embden x Saddleback) goose

 

I have the second goose pipped and have left the rest of the eggs in there just in case I'm wrong and they're not all dead. I removed three eggs that had sloshy fluid inside.
 

Now waiting to see if my buyers are going to flake out on me...

I've watched the first series of The Tudors. Loved it. We have the rest on DVD.

 

I think that A Dance with Dragons is out already? Came out last year - we have it at home. It's a good one. I agree that they are doing a great job with the show. But I just HATE Cersei's wig. SO unrealistic.

Yay CG, nice babies!

 

Good hatching Jaz.

 

Lost the weak gosling last night, then found a button quail drowned, and a silky caught under the feeder edge.  The silky is recovering, and is now buddies with the lone button.  (got 14 in the bator though)

 

The Giant 'toulose and one sebbie are happy and hungary, I'm pleased to say.  At least there are a pair, so they can be happy.

 

Have a great day, friends.

 

Why don't sheep shrink in the rain?

 

 

Why is there brail at drive up ATMs??

 

 

Why are their floatation devices instead of parachutes in my airplain seat???

 

 

If a tree falls in the woods and my husband doesn't hear it, am I still wrong????
