Morning all- eight degrees, *sigh*
I thought just maybe I was done thawing out waterers for the season.. oh well.

I woke up stiffer than normal, sinuses just a little worse, neck ache...must be old. I did not appreciate the black balloons and black napkins and plates that my family used for my birthday cake this weekend- they had alot of fun with their over the hill and 'OH NO the Big FOUR OHHH' crap. lol. My husband asked me what I wanted for my birthday last night, and I said, "I dunno...." and he said, "Chickens? you want a chicken for your birthday?" ha ha ha. No. I want a new egg turner.

We will see if he can figure out how to buy one or not.

Ive got to work all day- hope you all have a great day- and Miss Jayne we will definitely work it out and make a trip up there- especially if you can help me place Fluffy and the little cockerel.

He will probably present a gift wrapped package and as you open it with disappointment showing in your eyes exclaim "but you said you wanted a new spatula"!

I can see me doing something like that.

Probably. You probably saved him though- if I do open a spatula, I will think of your post and laugh, and hurry to post about it. hahahahaha.

My oldest son, in sw Missouri, is an enabler of the worst type. Last night he has me check out several Craigslist posting for his area. I could go pick this up for you and they would be waiting for you when you come down. The listings were for POL Spangled Hamburgs and Cream Brabanters. When I told him I would pass because it would be at least June before I come down he tells "Well I think I'll go get them anyway so they will be here if you want them".

Oooh what a wonderful excuse to have his own! "But they arent mine- they are for Dad"...

heh heh. Made me think though, I am going to go look at the Tallahassee and the Chattanooga Craigslist. I can do it in reverse, and have my dad and sister pick stuff up for me! (I got my dad a dog that way. I posted that I was looking for one for him on his Craigslist- then when they emailed me, I had him call. He still doesnt get it, and thinks the woman is a friend of mine. lol.)

M2EA- I just noticed your signature line. Are you still smoke free? I need to quit myself. In April the new Federal let beat up smokers cuz they're easy tax goes in to effect and of course Jennifer had to add to it as well, so aside from all the hacking and coughing making my chest hurt, the new tax is going to make my wallet hurt more than it does. It will be hard to give up a 50 year old habit.

Morning everyone-

I got my new bator yesterday! The FedEx guy couldn't get to the door because all my chickens were sitting on the back steps! Now I get to be a hatch-o-holic too!

Mom2-I can't wait to see what kind of egg turner you get

Opa-you can quit!

MJ-I got a chance to check out you website...Very Nice!

Stay warm everyone!

Morning!!!
Chickflick- so sorry to hear that Alaina was so sick. Visit to the emergency room with a miserable kid can't be fun. Glad her dad is staying home with her today and not Grandma!!!
All you smokers- keep puffing!!!! I work in the pathology department and need job security. Most of the smokers, sooner or later, have either bits of their lungs or long needles stuck in them so cells can be harvested and checked for malignancy

. Great Fun!!

I get up at 3:30 every morning...sometimes, 3. I have a hubby to get off to work, and we have coffee together in the morning, then I start my morning chores- feed the cats, the dogs, the guinea pigs, the tortoise, then take a shower, get ready for work, then get the kids up one by one and off to school. And then the chickens need to be fed, eggs gathered, water thawed out..and off to work I go. lol. I amDONE though, and usually sleeping by 8:30 Pm. lol

Opa-

No smoking here- it has been 31 days! Yay me. I opened up a savings account, and labeled it Cigarette Money. I have deposited 262 dollars in it since I quit smoking. The only way to notice the money spent on cigarettes is to do it that way. I wont notice the five plus dollars a day if I do not actually put the money away every single day. And I smoked more than one pack a day- I smoked ten packs a week. So, I am taking that money and saving it. It is a great to actually watch the money I "blew" multiply.
