Yuppers. Mine don't last that long. I have a mean boy that's drop-dead gorgeous who lived in solitary for 3 weeks after 3 days of being a butthead. He's much nicer now.

The butthead that grabbed my arm and twisted found out immediately that the arm could twist his neck much faster. And I didn't let go

[fighting back tears of .... of.... rejection (yes, that's it) that Wegot doesn't want a card from me...]

Awwwww

We can trade addresses, and I'll send you a chicken card from my extensive collection.
It'd be funny if I already had your address, wouldn't it?

I'm having an irritating sort of day...

I got woken up by a UPS automated call saying my package (Brinsea incubator) is coming today and I should be home from 8am-7pm to sign for it. Are you kidding me? 11 hours straight? Well, UPS always delivers between 3pm and 6pm in my neighborhood, so I felt safe to take the kids to their scheduled dentist appts...

...the oldest's teeth were perfect, but my boy needs 4 fillings (2 were old ones he popped out - what the heck has he been doing to his teeth?!) That's an expense I could've done without since we have an unexpected baby delivery bill coming up in November.

The rabbits were completely out of food (yesterday I fed them hay for dinner), so stopped at the feedstore to pick up a bag of pellets - out of my preferred brand, of course.

DH asked me to pull the fire pit thingy in under the pavillion so it didn't get rained on and he thought I should be able to move his boat for him (WHAT?! I'm 5 months pregnant!!!) before 1pm when the rain was due to start. Well, it started at 8am, so I hope the puddles aren't getting too big in the bottom of the boat. I ain't movin it. At least it's raining, the garden really needed it.

I get home and missed the UPS man by about 10 minutes. I'm so ticked off.

Good news for the day...I found a farm stand on the way to the feedstore and stopped for a tomato (the deer have been eating all my tomatos as soon as they start developing) and I told him to give me $3 worth of peaches because that's all the cash I had left in my wallet. I think he gave me more than $3 worth and they're SO gooooooood!

The dentist here replaces fillings that fall out for free because apparently its "normal" for kids to have that issue with fillings (I never did but these days the fillings are prolly made in china...) i'm sorry the dentist is a bill that just SUCKS!

You're so blessed, you dont even know, I used to live in Washington, I had peaches and cherries and blackberries and pears and apples and took it all for granted...now I live in Tundra and a fresh peach is something I sometimes glimpse in dreams.

No fresh fruit in Minnesota?

Well, we do have amazing apples... but I dont care about apples when it means giving up pears and peaches...

The wild blueberries are a big deal here, and I just found a little cluster of wild gooseberry bushes down the road... my raspberries are off to a promising start, and the strawberries do great out here. Wild grapes are everywhere, and chokecherries... oh and rhubarb...and juneberries... ok so really we have a lot, summers are great here. But I do miss those milder climate fruits!

Just for you, I ate 3 more peaches. (They're small, about the size of a plum, but the guy gave me 10 of them!)

I'd send you some, but they're really soft, so by the time they got to you, your husband would say, "Who did you tick off now? Because someone sent you a moldy box of dripping slime with a few peach pits in it."

I'd tell him we're in a drama club acting out scenes from some book i'm sure I could find with a scene that would be close to recieving a box of slimey pits in the mail...
