waaaa....Ava is keeping this mama too busy.

I'm fillin up my dumpster since i changed it to pick up every week and I got to clear out of here and all so I'm goin full throttle and chuckin lots of crap and I do mean crap. So as I'm luggin out heavy bags of trash from the front door...I find lil Miss Ava busy in the backyard takin all my wood from my wood pile and makin a "nest" for the dog in the middle of the backyard.

So I tell her she better put my wood back or she'd hear mommy's angry voice. So she comes in after a bit all muddy as a happy pig and says she's cold. I see maybe a dozen logs left out there but small ones. sigh...that's why it's best to have your kids go have a play date while you clean. I'm certain of it now. Too bad no one wants my kids this weekend since we are all gettin over the ickys.

what do you ladies say about that? oh yeah... le sigh....

I hear guineas are dumb and loud. True? False?

I could raise a big flock of 'em on tick feed alone, I swear...

My old farmer friend, Chuck--miss ya buddy RIP, his neighbor had em but they always were in Chuck's yard...and yeah, they are loud. He ran a lawn service business out of his farm so he had piles of a variety of mulch and sand and gravel....he always complained they would crap all over his piles and I heard his wife say some of the males were being aggressive towards Chuck.

I don't know why I think that's funny but I would have liked to have seen it and how he reacted.

The chick on the right looked fatter and the chick on the left has a cuter face.

My 9 year old has been chosen at random to wear a step counter to monitor her steps. She has to wear it for 4 days and we have to put on a sheet her steps at the end of the day.

Her numbers are low. I've seen another mom make mention that her child is gung ho and excited about wanting to be the kid in his class witht he highest steps so he's been running on the tread mill and going up and down the stairs. My child is being a big lazy wuss. I know she's just getting over being sick but she says it hurts...I believe her...it leaves an imprint on her skin...I told her to tuck her shirt in but she won't.

The thing is...this is the 2nd time we've had this. I wrote on the other sheet before that one day was a snow day and she complained greatly about it hurting so that is why her numbers weren't great.

She complains so much about this darn thing it really irritates me. I'm stressed out right now I don't need to have a friggon whiney kid whinin at me about this stupid thing. It's makin me mad.

I told her to go run up and down the stairs 3x to get the numbers up and I'd take her to Mcdonald's.

Don't feel like cookin...I've been sick...I don't feel like eating....I got too much on my mind with the divorce, gettin the house ready to sell, and buying another house....you think I need a stinkin whinin kid people cuz of a stupid step counter? Just for that I feel like shakin it a bunch of times and makin it get up to good numbers. It's obvious the kids don't walk much in school...she comes home and is at a little over 2000 steps. Last night I made her go until she got 3000. I know my mom and others have said, you need to walk 10,000 steps a day. How is she supposed to get to 10,000????

Maybe in September we can take a little hike. We can see spruce trees and birch trees and glacial silt.
