    I'm at the end of my rope.

    Alright then. I understand how frustrating this must be for you. You're at the end of your rope, and people are only trying to help. I'm sorry if I somehow came off as condescending or something, for you to infer that I think you're an idiot. Good luck, whatever happens I hope things get better.

    Baby girl is so sick

    I'm so sorry about your sweet baby. Please don't beat yourself up. Let yourself mourn but don't blame yourself. No matter how hard we try, we can't always get it right.

    Wyrd Sisters (the Discworld chickens)

    Here's a sneak preview for now of the plans: This old playhouse will eventually be converted into a 2 level coop with attached run both underneath and where the swingset A-frame is. Didn't get measurements because it's hot wet hell out here again today and by the time I thought about...
