Okay, let me try to make this long, drawn out story as short as possible. Let me know if any of it doesn't make sense because I have spared you guys most of the rant I have had during the process of putting this show on.

Tyler is our local station winner. He is 22 years old and apparently coddled by his family his whole entire life. From the start, he never communicated with me, his mom did. I spoke with his mom 2 weeks after the show and she said he had nothing ready to turn in for the state show, I told her to come to the station and we would help him take care of it. His deadline of July 9th came and went and nothing. We assumed everything was done. A few weeks later his friend's mom called with "help, he has nothing done". So, we set up a time to hold his hand and get everything in. Over 3 weeks late and less than a week before the state show.

Day of show, he doesn't show up for rehearsal, can't get away from police academy. Meets me at gate (about an hour and 15 mins before show, he had been there 30 mins before that) and visits, producer comes up asks me a few questions. I assume everything is fine. Right?

I sit down to enjoy the show, the emcee/program director says "I suppose you know Tyler isn't here?" (this is 5 minutes til show time) I was like

His mom went to find him, the next thing I know (at this point the show has started) She comes to tell me Tyler is disqualified. Again

So, I go find the producer (from Nashville) to see what is going on. She is like

because of him not checking in, being late with his stuff, not coming to rehearsal, etc. He copped an attitude and she told him he was outta there! I go to bat for him

and talk her into letting him perform with the stipulation that he not sing with the band and he does it cold. I talk to Tyler, said this is the way it is, take it or leave it. He wants to change songs,

I tell him to get his butt up there apologize, ask if he can sing and do it or don't.

He is totally clueless about his order of appearance and everything. Like he couldn't care less. Long story short, he did wonderful, I was like

and

.

After the show, I look over and some of his "mob" is

at the producer. I walk over to hear his GRANDMA say "I am going to whoop your ***"

Now, guys I am usually non confrontational with people. But, I say "tell her thank you for letting him perform and move on". They are demanding numbers and names to report her, I tell them to call me tomorrow and I will fix them up. They are still going on. Hubby had to take them away.

It was a freaking mess and his ungrateful family made fools of themselves and us. If I had known they were going to be that way, I would have disqualified him myself. I am still so

that I know I am just rambling!

Good Morning! So, if things aren't hectic enough this week (my life). Our stray momma cat gave birth to 4 baby kittens in my front yard yesterday and left them! We found them when we came home around 7. They weren't even together, it was like an easter egg hunt in the grass! They were cold and wet, she didn't even clean them. I now have them on a heating pad, have been feeding them goat colostrum, cleaning them and waiting for the animal shelter to call me back with a plan. Guys, I just don't have the time and energy to raise such tiny babies. How do I get into these things?

Son is loading up the pets and going to take them to the petting zoo tonight. Bella and Bailey, my 2 baby goats are going along with both geese, all 3 ducks, 2 turkeys, several chickens and a guinea! Oh, and the neighbor's yellow lab! So, I guess I will help transport this afternoon and help with it this evening. Daughter has to do live reports from the fairgrounds this afternoon for the station, so it will be another busy day.

Good news! None of the "mob" from Tuesday night called to complain, so hopefully that is all behind me!

Michelle...You are waaaaay tooooo busy! Hang in there!

Just got back from the vet, she didn't have the time to take them, but she looked them over, showed us how to take care of them, gave us a pep talk and her cell number and sent us on our way! So, I guess Des and I will be Mama cats for the next 6 weeks. Wish us luck!

She said that although many kittens that young die for almost no reason, that these looked savable and we had a chance with them. I will try to post pics soon although they are pretty puny looking right now! Heading home soon to collect animals for the petting zoo.

Hi and good morning everyone!

Oh Michelle you became a foster mommy while I was gone!! I have done that before too. It is a lot of work but those little faces are so sweet aren't they?! I can't wait to see pics!

I haven't read all the posts, so I hope everyone is doing fantastic!

My camping weekend was extended so I have been playing catch up for the last 2 days. It was fun though!

Glad you are back! How was the camping trip?

The kittens are still doing well and eating good. It is a really exhausting week for them to show up, but we are handling it. I had to leave them at the radio station to go to the fair and take care of the petting zoo, so I just ran back and forth to feed them.

The petting zoo was so much fun! Before the night was over, the kids knew Bella and Bailey by name and they were such good girls. Bella only tried to eat the antenna for transmission to the station and tore a tag off a stroller! But, not bad for being young and so much going on! Bailey, if you let her out and she had a chance, she tried to go to the carnival! I am amazed how little people know about farm animals, even in a huge farming community like ours. Not knowing the difference between a duck and a goose, breeds of chickens, rarely could someone identify the guinea and with the goats they think just because they have horns, they are boys. It was so rewarding to get to teach people that kind of stuff.

Only tonight and tomorrow and the fair will be over. Son is trying to give me gray hair. He wants to race his 4 wheeler tonight and do the demo derby tomorrow! He and a friend were going to build a car, but didn't get it done in time, so decided to wait for next year, but they are selling chances to drive a car in the championship round. We know who built it and know it will be very safe, so Colton is going to try for that!

I hope everyone has a great day and a wonderful weekend if I don't talk to you before then!
