deb, My daughter had different issues, but went to therapy for quite some time about her issues. A good therapist is worth their weight in gold. Yes, it takes time to peel away the layers. It can be very painful, and difficult to face some of the issues too. With her, it was more like surgery, cutting out, and cleaning out the bad places, so she could learn, and proper healing. One of the things that, even her therapist was glad about, and encouraged, was that she was not alone going through it. Yes, she had to walk the walk, but she could talk to me about anything, and did. I did my very best not to be critical, or judgemental, and always offered encouragement, and support.

I hope you have someone that you can confide in, that will help encourage you too. If you ever need someone, you can IM me, or I'd be glad to give you my phone number if you'd like.

We're all rooting for your success.

perchie -- We are our own worst critics. And it's really hard to erase that tape that loops in our head. Take it day by day. You are stronger than you know.

As you get older, one realizes that perfection is an absolute imperfection. Wisdom is knowing which windmills to joust at and figuring out when it's time to put down the lance and go take a nap.

HUGS!

Perchie, all I'm going to say to you is You Are Loved! Now remember that!

Well, my quail egg hatched on schedule Found it dead outside the nest box partially cannibalized. Juliette was acting really flakey in and out of the nesting box I took the bantam egg away from her not knowing if she has done it any harm and stuck it under a hen that has been begging for eggs for the last week. Egg is on day 18 so don't know what will happen with the surrogate mom if and when it hatches.

I'm a better broody, I've decided.

Got the juvenile Fayoumi's moved. They are trying to comprehend wind and sunlight. The bantam roosters immediately started dancing their way around the little coop. Tut, the Fayoumi cockerel was crowing his little brains out. Mom Trex and her three babies are in the coop and seem to like it in a pen there instead of outside.

Meanwhile back at the ranch, the pups decided to stage an escape...under the fence while I was mowing tonight. They were gleefully runing around like ping pong balls. Caught them, put them back, fixed the low area where they had squeezed under, turned around and Varn discovered that if he could climb the security gate, by golly, he can climb a cattle panel that is covered with wire and so he did. Catch pup again, back in pen, mow until I realize it's dard and I haven't locked up the birds yet.

I've decided that trying to keep 5 pups out of mischief is a lot like trying to keep shoes and socks and sometimes clothes on 5 toddlers.

Like I told DH. They have discoverd that there is a big exciting world on the other side of their fence. There will be no holding them in now. DH said, no, it's more like finding the weak areas in the construction and putting out brush fires as they occur.

Night all...

It is hard to find a good broody! Mom will sit on eggs but will not take good care of the babies.

I did have one quail kill itself this week. They like to jump and fly-- and hit their head on the top of the brooder.

I will need to come up with a taller brooder!

With a 103 year old, each day has a high probability of being the last one. Then you may need to start taking more care of Mom.

It is good that you are working on your own health!

Or a shorter one. Mine are about 2 feet tall and they rarely fly up.

Truer words have never been said. Perfection is an absolute imperfection. I strive for it x amount of times then give up and from then on I flip over to Total imperfection....

Learning how to take those naps.
