me too!

my little girl is 2 and won't even think about the potty (even for candy bribe!)

I'm getting tired of dishes and laundry and sweeping up fruit loops and changing diapers. I think I have the Stay at home mom blues.

I lack any motivation.

Plus I have so much to do I don't know where to start.

Ok, sob story over. Back to laundry.

2 Pekins
2 Black swedish
6 laying hens (that don't lay)
2 roosters
1 beta

a husband
2 kids (also not the goat kind- but hopefully soon)

2 geese

i officially think both babies are dead..
around the aircell is discolored and starting to turn yellowish.
both eggs have no movement.
no sound.
i doubt the discoloration is normal.

Iain- Cute babies. Now they look all yellow and fluffy.

QJ- Lol, I don't blame you. Do you have anything hatching or brooding you won't be keeping? Maybe if you sell a few hubby won't mind so much. I only plan on keeping some of the calls I have now, and some of the one's if I get eggs from Celtic. And my geese. Everything else in the brooder or incubator is not staying, so that helps.

I'd go ahead and open them, just to be sure. Or float test them.

Mine is 3 and won't poo poo in the potty. Not even for Squinkies, a Barbie and sleeping in "sissy's bed" . (Bunk beds.)
She waits until I put her night diaper on and then proceeds to do the deal..

And ya know what? Fine.

I'm not too worried about it.

Um.. no. They're all keepers. LOL.

I have a nice little baby flock going though.
