Should I buy eggs or wait it out?

Cheeka, this is so sweet. Wonder how long 'til she goes broody!

Okay, so here it is. My husband, whom hasn't been in town in over five months, showed up with his brother on Wednesday. Three months ago, he promised we'd talk when he came around again. I also don't want him near children after what happened.
He handed me his hot sauce bottles to fill (we buy AZ Gunslinger by the gallon) and was ready to leave. Jaz is usually okay with strangers (even big bikers) didn't like Dave at all. She wanted to get eggs, so I said he could watch. She was so scared, she wouldn't come back out of the coop.
Gotta admit, I never thought he'd sink so low as to make me sit here alone on Thanksgiving. It's just... Wow.
He also waited until now to tell me I have to keep his dog. I could have used that information a lot sooner!
He's doing his thing, being single. Unfortunately that conversation had yet to happen. I at least now have the assurance that we're staying married. I need that to have the strength to try to save my marriage.
 
Wow. Sounds like a full blown mid-life crisis to me. At least you have your chickens and ducks and sweet little Jaz. Sturgis will be good company too. If it weren't for those things, I'd say call his bluff and leave. Seems like he wants to go off and play but still have security (you) at home. He should meet you halfway on the marriage, though, otherwise he will always be holding all the cards. Neither person puts 100% in at all times, so if you're willing to shoulder most of the burden right now, then go for it. If the good outweighs the bad, it's worth the effort.

I know I am blessed. I am. When the power went out again this morning, it reminded me that I still need to figure out what battery I need for the generator and how to use it. He could have done that. Still can. He is here for another few hours. He just won't.

Jaz is a handful today! She has thrown her cup at me twice (she throws hard!) and then hit me with her chatter phone (I miss the old chatter phone. This thing is educational, and he is obnoxious!

) and gotten into so many things! I needed this nap time more than she did!

My boys were so different with their toys. First son would pick up everything very carefully and examine it for a long time. He was very cautious and gentle and loved seeing what would happen if he rolled it or pushed buttons and how things were put together. My second son liked to pick a toy up and see how loud of a noise he could make by bashing it on everything. He always wanted you to play with him, and jibber-jabbed the whole time. First one was happier by himself, but now he's a big love and wants hugs all the time, and the younger wants to be left alone! We'll give it a few more years and see what happens.
 
Tea parties are fun if you make them real... Mylee would dress up like a princess and we would have real coffee/tea and different little things, like sandwiches or sweets. imaginary tea parties with water and pretend is tidier... but not nearly as fulfilling.
Butt in the Air is Happiness. she's zonked! and as far as all the rest, I know you're strong and amazing, I just wish you didn't have to do it all by yourself. I know how that is... and it stinks.

I don't think she'll have a chance to be anything but broody from the first egg. she has been brainwashed. technically, this is Zira's vitaminized applesauce, but it's mild... and good for everyone, so why not share and just... dive right in.
