Yes, he was. I miss him, he was a good boy and would hop onto my lap to be held. Hugged me with his neck.
I was told his color was silver carrying gold, that is why his saddle and hackles were yellow. ( "his genetic make up its called Golden(S/s+) the mix of dominant Silver and recessive Gold both are sex linked genes, and it wont breed true like true lemons or true creams.... cream is recessive autosomal(none sexlinked) and Lemon is Dominant(Dilute Di) autosomal also... " Looks very similar to a "lemon" color that is very rare in the US; basically a poor man's version
WELL! Yesterday was one of those now I know why I have no man in my life thank god kinda days. This morning it was a continuation of that. I swear... Jace is a slow poke in the morning. I get him up at 8, and get him dressed. Make breakfast, lunch and get him out the door. On a good day we have time, on a bad day... we don't. Today was a good day gone bad cuz john was up to spend time before jace left, because john has night classes tue-thur, doesn't see much of the kids. My mom and I have peace... Well, first bad thing, the tv was on. second bad thing, Little Bear was on. Third bad thing, Jace just plain and simple didn't want to move, complained about everything. Some days he is not a morning person at all. I have to get stern with him. SO, what does john tell me? That maybe if I got him up earlier, I wouldn't get so frustrated cuz he's not moving fast enough for me. Hello! I told him, you think you can do it better, then you do it. Jace started to cry, cuz he doesnt' feel like dealing with his dad in the morning to get ready. John said I was screaming at him, and if I didn't scream at him constantly he wouldn't have been crying. I told him, I don't turn the dang tv on in the morning because of what happens, jace doesn't move. And little bear especially is a problem. Jace love little bear. I dont' know why, but he does, and he was crying because he had to go to school and couldn't watch little bear. No that wasn't it, it was because i was screaming at him and treating him like he was stupid. Jace was so upset about not being able to watch little bear that he was walkign out the door with no coat. BUT that wouldn't have happened had I not been yelling at him. SO, I got pithed and started yelling at john, and then we are in the car and jace ask if his dad was really going to get him ready for school and started crying all over again. boy will I be a happy girl when he gets his own place the socialist bas.... i better shut up.
On another note, i got all the coops cleaned up today. Tired to lower the roost in the faverolle coop... can't. stupid screw is stripped...
Sounds like my days some morning Nova..I need to clean out the coops and do a head count and health check in general tommorow ...
I am preparing to start finding my babies homes and dont want anyone sickly or anything ... although other than being moody hens most seem good and healthy these days...
and i need to find homes for them before i head to ga for a few weeks to help out with my mom ( my brother is desperate enough for help to pay for the trip and praise the Lord !! fix my truck)...next is the puppies..gonna try yet again to find them homes too .... this summer I am supposed to head out to spend time with my sister and her bunch too ( on her dime) ... ugg is a lot of traveling and cant take dogs cats chickens dragon ferrets and kids so need to pare the menagerie down anyway .... so hopefully by summer I will be traveling with only the 4 chickens i intend to keep, 2 ferrets and their cage, 1 bearded dragon , 1 reluctant pre teen and one ecstatic pre teen ... such fun .. not
So is he going to get Jace up then? Perhaps he'll figure out that moms do actually know their kids better than even the dads and not question your practices again. But then, he is a man so probably not. You know, my youngest had the tv/lazy-itis problem when she was little, too. Had to watch her like a hawk.
i think a lot of kids are slow starters in the morning and in particular when faced with a favorite tv show .. mine were and still are lol at 11 and 12
I do not turn on the TV because I KNOW that he will watch it and not move. I learned that early on. But yeah, he says he is. SO, I am going to get up at 7:45 as usual... Going to sit back and not do a dang thing. Not making lunch, not making breakfast... LOL. AND I am not getting out, or finding clothes for him either.
