Holy Moley!!!! I better make these girls start producing mass amounts of cookies!!!! We have lots of delivering to do!!!!

-Ok CLthis little bugger is spoiled crazy!!! Daffy is having a fit!! It will only settle down if we hold it!!! We put Daffy in the box to eat, poo, drink and then we get yelled at as soon as it is done! So like good human pets we go over and pick the bugger up and happiness has been achieved once again!!!

Justbugged and I chatted this morning and decided that this is why God gave me twins!!! I would have gone crazy with a singleton!!! We are going to see if we can find him a friend today!!!!

Do not work too many jobs !!!

All three jobs would be part time. I didn't know that Home depot doesnt have set shifts... I pretty much make my own schedule, write down and turn in what hours and days I can work. I will know by wednesday wether or not I get the job. I will be cashiering and running general operations in the front of the store. The only thing I dont like is that I would be running basic security as well...

Don't worry Chickielady, if I get the job at home depot, I wont take the job at the resteraunt. I wont run myself down, as I know that is what you are concerned about, and rightly so.

But bills are mounting, and they aren't going to pay themselves. Plus that $1500 for the lawyer, and the $200 for the hearing, another 200 for his assesment, and 20-50 $ for the victems panel... Plus I gotta still buy hay for the horses...

There were alot of eggs stashed away. lol We did the float test and they all still sunk, had no rollers, but I am still checking them as I crack them open. I wish my camera took acurately colored pics... The eggs in the middle are So rich milk chocolate colored I was shocked at how pretty and dark they are!

Can you fence the hens in to the new hen coop yet ?
And if you are working part time, the restaurant will probably pay more if you are waiting tables, tips can add up.
Working in the kitchen does not pay as much and you have to sweat your fanny off and get NO TIPS!

When I looked at this I noticed it looks like it is probably 2' wide. That brought up a question. How do people splice wire together like to make it wider. I have my choice method but curious how others do it? I use what is called J metal. They are the little J shaped strips like they use to make rabbit cages etc. There are special pliers for this (most feed stores have em). They are a very fast easy way and can be removed later if need be.

Well there are two ways that I do it. The VERY time consuming way of sewing it together with other wire, or there are clips that fit the squares, they kinda look like leg bands... These take a set of special pliers and they just squeeze tightly and hold the wire together. I have also seen people use small zip ties. That works well too, but uses alot of ties...

I use J-clips as well but you can also use wood, wire, overlap, magic, voodoo,

The resteraunt wont put me in front. Only little cute girls or good looking guys get put on the floor. And lets face it, I'm heavy. I would be in the kitchen.

Yes it has been cold, and no rooster here any longer...

Yes all from 3 hens. My little Silky girl is iether REALLY good at hiding, or hasnt started yet. I can fence them in, but they refuse to use the coop, and everytime I think I can start the new coop, iether Chloe stops me, the weather, or some other thing does... I really wish I could get another me. lol I could use a second set of hands that aren't two years old. lol
