I just needed one more venue to freak out! I have exhausted all my IRL ones! LOL I am having surgery tomorrow afternoon. Normally I handle everything well and everyone thinks I am so strong...blah...blah
Well, being put to sleep is my #1 fear. A real, genuine phobia. I have panic attack...
I want to see pics that just make you feel happy, good, at peace. This is one of mine. At the end of Summer last year my family volunteered for beach cleanup. When we finished our assigned section of beach we were relaxing a bit. This is my three oldest children. Every time I look at this pic I...
This is just a long and whining rant about babies and the lack of respect for family harmony! :) my youngest child before this one is about to turn 11 so it has been awhile since I experienced toddlerhood. Ahhhh the joys! :) He is fun. Too much fun sometimes! He is NEVER still. This is fine most...
I want so bad to start raising meat chickens. However, there are a few things I am afraid of. First, I am afraid I will get too attached. I don't kill anything. Ever. However, I eat meat so I feel a bit hypocritical. But then, I am a nurturer. I am afraid if I do manage to raise them and bring...
Hi! I used to be a fairly active member of this site. Then life got all crazy and I quit having chickens and just went away. However, life seems to be settling down a bit and I am back. :)
When I was on before, I lived in Arkansas. I now live in Floresville, Texas, a tiny little town south of...
My divorce situation is fairly unique since I have not actually lived in the same house as my husband for nearly 5 years thanks to the military. However, we ARE still married and will be, probably at least until he returns to the States in May. I am wondering when other people think it would be...
It is less than an hour til Christmas at my house and the snow just now started falling.
I suppose I should admit that I absolutely LOATHE cold. Can't handle it at all. UNLESS it is snowing. From the first flake I am like a child again. It has been such a hard and painful year for me. I...
Alright, I already know this is a community literally bursting with talent. As some know from a recent post, I just lost a baby to miscarriage. I desperately want a tattoo for my lost child. It is all there will ever be to remember what could have been. I have put a ton of thought into it and...
Hi to those who remember me. It's been awhile. I have pretty much stopped having chickens, down from 36 to 4. Life is just too complicated.
Some will remember I was to be reunited with my husband after living apart for the past few years due to his military career. Well, things changed and I...
Mark just sent a text and told me that his cousin was found dead. He was only 38 and has 3 young children. That is all the details I know right now. I do know Mark's family has had so much pain over the past several months. Please keep them in your thoughts.
As many of you here know, Mark is an all around great guy. So I just have to share what he did today. Sorry if I don't put a lot of the details but I an having to post from my phone which is a PAIN!
Outside his apartment he found a lost and terrified little boy. He went to him, calmed him...
As most on here who know me know, I have a child with SEVERE asthma. He was in the hospital again. Just got out today. Anyway, I just want to tell you guys about his doc.
We are a military family living in a non military area. We had exactly one doctor to choose from that takes our insurance...
Here is a pic of my baby from over the weekend. We were headed to the lake and he saw no reason he couldn't ride in Abraham's lap. He is 16 weeks old now. I weighed him about a week ago and he was 52 pounds. Who knows now!
While browsing craigslist we found this wonderful guy. My 9 y/o fell in love. We got him and over $45 of snake books for *WOW* $20. He is beautiful, sweet, a perfect family member.
Mark sent me a text a few minutes ago. He started bleeding, just like he did recently for those who remember. Said he is bleeding worse than last time and having a lot of pain low in his stomach. He just got to the hospital a few minutes ago so that's all I know right now. I will update as soon...
I kinda thought I should put a couple of pics while I can. My computer is acting strange and I can barely use it these days. Here are a couple of pics I took of the baby today.
This one just kills me. Looks like he is laughing!!! (he was actually finishing a yawn)
With his best buddy...
I know my Great Dane baby is going to grow fast and I know he is going to be a big boy but this just amazes me!!! I was looking at the pics on my phone and realized just how much he really HAS grown in only two weeks. Yes, I know not to let him eat too much and grow too fast. My vet assured...
I was at a friend's apartment yesterday. When leaving, my baby Great Dane told me he needed to go potty. Well, at 8 weeks, when his body says now it means NOW. So, I stop at a grassy area over to the side away from any apartments and let him do his thing. A Jeep with two men pulls up and...
Here is the not so short story. My mother has given roosters to this young couple in the past. VERY sweet people. Anyway, the husband lost his job and they freaked out, trying to cut every corner and they ended up giving away all their chickens. He found a job where he is making half what he...
I just love this baby so much. I wanted to put a few pics from the past couple of days.
Poor baby, grudgingly tolerated his bath then refused to even look at me afterward.
Sleeping
Sleeping in his crate (yes, I know he won't fit this one long LOL)
Playing with his new best buddy...
