Surviving Minnesota!

[Momof3plustwins]

I think it is that I am older than her Mom. AS I recall her Mom was born in 1955, but I could be wrong, Judy has 5,043 first cousins and I can not remember what year they all were born in. Heck, I am lucky I know most their names. Her Mom I know quite well though or did from when we were younger, way younger, so I can kind of get a fix on her Mom's age.

I was sure feeling old when I wrote about her Great Grandpa and his hooking me on coffee. I was trying to remember if she (mom3+2) would remember her Great Grandpa even. He was a huge part of my life for nearly 20 years so it does not seem that long ago. I think my kids remember him, my oldest for sure my youngest I am not so sure of.


We might not be older than dirt, but some of the rocks around here are looking kind of young nowadays....









On a different note. I put eggs in the incubator tonight, I did not put any Toad eggs in. I have 6 of them here, if anyone wants to try raising some toads, and get your own Sustainable meat bird line going...

If not I will mail them off to someone from the list of people wanting them. I would prefer they stay here in MN. I will have a 12 most likely by Sunday. Just let me know.



And EJB! The Appletini Pullet egg is developing. I put 5 more in today.

I do remember my GGrandpa. But only from the end of life. He died when I was pretty young. 2nd or 3rd grade maybe. Could be earlier too. I remember Grandma much better as she didn't pass until just after I had our first child. So 14 years it has been. She was a gem. AND I was even more off when I said mom was a '54 baby! I should have done math instead of relied on my brain. She is a '56 baby. 61 this fall. I really do want your Toad eggs too! My sister just got back from vacation so we will be hammering out our plans for the weekend of March 4th. I will be driving by your house on my way and then back again so start saving them for me when appropriate. I will pick them up March 5th. Life has been busy and I have not had a chance to check in here. It is rest time here are school today with the 3-4 year olds. So I am taking a quick peek on here.

I have them both again.

OC is doing great and a sweetie... GC is getting better but her little excursion into the pole barn nether regions did slow down her lapper training some. They are getting close to being turned free.


BTW Next time you are here I will teach you the difference between a boy cat and a girl cat and which is which.. You had it backwards...

Also so for the last year my left arch would have muscle spasms.
Recently in the last month it's gotten really bad all the time especially at night. Should I get this looked at before track or wait unitl it starts and ask the coaches?

It doesn't bug me to much but i know I messed up all the tendons and ligaments in mt left foot last year in track but never said anything to anyone since I didn't want to get pulled out at regionals. Even though I ended up missing 4 practices before regionals due to it cause I could barely walk, costing me a chance at going to state. So i dont want to mess up again this year. And after this i just didnt bother bringing it up.
I mentioned my foot getting messed up at my physical in August 2016 and the doctor and nurse said nothing was wrong... They said that about my hip that's popped out all the time along with my knee that pops if I move it up far enough

. I'm thinking i need to go to Dickinson or Bismarck to get more checked into this

Layers sounds like you might have plantar fasciitis on the arch. (More common than you would think) you can do shoe inserts but they say the foot relies then too much on the inserts and it doesn't really solve the problem. An exercise for it would be to take a campbells soup can and roll your foot back and forth over it. Like when your sitting watching tv or on your phone. Just roll it on the floor with the plantar surface of your foot.

As for hip and knee issues at your age and rate of growing may I suggest a chiropractor to align and adjust. I've done this multiple times for my 14 almost 15 year old daughter. One muscle in her back was pulling up her leg so it was working shorter than the other. I know it sounds weird but honestly it can affect everything you do if you're not aligned Right.
