Ok.. to start things off.. we are moving. the guy we are dealing with helped my DH rewire the other house. and was generally a nice guy. the guy said we had till June to get our stuff out(not that we were gonna take that long) . then all of a sudden.. he's here with a bobcat moving the chicken coop. I know he's paying(land contract) but he never even asked if he could go into the chicken coop. they cleaned it out.. somewhat. and laid down new bedding. well, i wanted to get some meds for the mites that they have.. and then clean out the bedding so they didn't reinfect themselves. and i also wanted to scrub it out and bleach the inside. well, i won't be doing that now. he can just deal with the bugs. i was mad when he said "well, you don't have any of that here(mites) do you?" i had *just* told him a few weeks before that i wasn't cleanign it out until i got the meds for mites (and my water hose hooked up) and he's tearing up the yard with a bobcat. he covered flowers i had said i wanted to dig up. i had a fence around one so he KNEW it was there. and the others were like 12 inches tall(day lilies) so he shouldn't have missed them. and he tore up where the garden is. which means he took all the top soil off(we have clay under that) and he destroyed my compost pile... but when he cleaned the coop out he put the droppings and bedding on the garden which the next day he bobcatted off! stupid! what a waste! i was mad! mad! mad! so all my birds *hard* work went for nothing! he told me before he didn't wan't chicks right away but then the other day(Thursday maybe) asked if i was going to hatch any for him. well, had he told me that last weekend i could have had a bunch in the bator.. but since he moved the coop, cleaned it and these birds don't even know him.. they aren't laying like they were. s tress ya know? ok.. so we decide to kick it up a notch and we are moving everythign out this weekend. we are taking monday off too just in case and to get things straightened out between the old house and the new house.
i guess it just really bothers me that they were in the coop without asking. Oh and went into the garage(cuz hubby doesn't always remember to lock it) and they had this girl over the other day.. i don't like her. she's only 13 and has a potty mouth i could never imagine on a 13 year old. even me when i was 13. and i used foul language. anyway, they went into the garage and threw some stuff out. i take the old feed bags and put pop cans in and they threw them all away. and some wood we had made into a sign and a bunch of other stuff. ugh. plus took out *MY* garden clippers(long handled) and then left them outside when they left. when he moved the coop, he left the backdoor open. and i don't normally do that since i don't alway remember to look back there before going to bed. i just shut the little door that they come out of. oh well.
ok.. onto the last couple days with the family. now, it's the same days as i have come home to see my place tore up.. dog was fine when DH let her on the leash but when we were going to bed(DH was gone at the time) she started moving her crate around(when she was in it) so i told the Oldest DD to go and let her out to see if she had to go potty. and i watched her come out and she was acting strangely. shakey, twitching and walking kind of sideways.. and slow. and she didnt' eat her food(which she never does) and she threw up a bit.. and panting and drinking tons of water. and she acted like bugs were in front of her face. so i got scared.. and ended up calling the vet on his cell(which i never do) and he was in the bard(giggle i have a farm vet i love it!) anyway, he doesn't really have any stats on bull terriers since she's the only one he has under his care. but i told him a few things(that i had looked up quick) he told me to give her rice and a 1/2 aspirin. so i cooked rice which the snobby dog would NOT eat. but she did eat the dog food. and she's doing better now.
onto the kid. she has had the poops for about a week. and she's been kind of fussy. but nothing major. well, yesterday she threw up.. once. told hubby we would take her to the doc. but then she was fine while we were rummage saling(doc not open yet. too early still). and we decided to go home. so we went to the new house and she had a really really nasty poop. we then went to the old house and she was tired so i laid her down and she was out in minutes. and when she woke up again.. poop. DH had his mom and dad cleaning the garage and the Little one was super crabby and it was getting late. so DH finally took me to the docs with the little one(and the older 2) doc woudlnt believe when i said when she gets like this it's an ear infection.(even the nurse looked at me funny when i told her) well, guess what.. she's got an ear infection. am i good or what? lol. i know she's sick. she doesn't hold her ears or dig at them like they bother her. so i never know when she's got one. i go by other symptoms.. lol.
so i get up this AM and she's feeling better. she's not all laid out. yesterday after she woke up she just laid in bed next to DH (which she never does) then today she's all jumpy and happy. why would one dose of antibiotics do that? lol. oh well, im just happy to have her feeling better
now i can't wait to get this weekend done. im sure that it would be a nice thing. and id be happy to get out of this trailer. Wish me luck and good thoughts getting this done!
