All niece/nephew type creatures are out of state and in college at this point. (I barely know them anyway.) I'm hoping one of my chickens looks a little nauseous tomorrow morning and I'll have to call in with a Child Emergency excuse.

Someone said onion rings.

We should make some while I'm there.

Do you know how to make hush puppies?

Yes, but I'll have to go get a deep fryer. Remember Deb's post a ways back about cleaning a deep fryer? I was too embarrassed to say, I tossed mine out 10 years ago and never replaced it.

I love Texas. No one questions getting out for a horse that might have colic or foundered feet. Even if it's the 5th time that month.

Of course, we don't make that kind of stuff up. A sick horse is serious stuff.

Okay Shorty! Michelle and I are 5'4". Tex is 7'. I say between all of us, we can carry you to the hospital to have your little pullet.

Pullet? You're casting a vote for a girl? Some mothers swear they know before the doctor's confirm it, but I never get vibes one way or the other.

I spent most of Matthew's young life trying to keep him from killing himself, so I was very thankful Ella was a girl because I didn't want to raise another boy like him! However, within the last year, oldest DD's pre-teen attitude has become so snotty that I'd rather get run ragged by another crazy boy than endure this emotional drama with another child.

I'll loan you a few unruly children for the summer. Just let me know where to mail them...

Don't worry, we'll manage.

Go with a boy. Girls are overrated. I love boys!!! They are so much more fun.

Uh Honey? Men are where it's at. My gosh, so much I have to teach you.

I thought all men were just very tall 12 year old boys?

Too late, I've already started the Dreaded Change of Life Process. Any baby of mine would have Down's or fins.
