Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

[Fields Mountain Farm]

I do love her, but I definitely love her more from a distance.

Thanks Lisa, she sleeps a lot. You'll probably never even notice I have company (except for the screaming part.) I'm hoping to try to keep her somewhat busy when shes awake, but we'll see.

I do hope you can enjoy the time with her... and hopefully keep her busy.

not great....

This last week I added a health freak multi vitamin (SIX pills of whole fruits and veggies so very bio-available crap, yada, yada -per day mind) AND fish oil and Vit. C.

I will give that a week... that brings me up to a half a jillion pills I swallow per day...

and the arthritis I think is worse... I BUMP the hand and it hurts... no way can I make a fist... a wonder I can brush my teeth

getting frustrated ... yep. I watch the weeds grow bigger each day... now way can I pull them.

If all of the tooty fruity pills don't improve matters ... in 2 weeks tops... I just might be desperate enough to cut out carbs and junk.

I'm sorry you've got it! My sis got JRA when she was 11. Every joint in her body was crippled up her whole life. Sugar always made her feel worse. I'm sure the boys are already taking up the extra slack with DS1 gone & new kids in town, but maybe you can bribe them to do the weeds too.

the problem with the weeds is they are Pushki ... I am immune, eldest kid is immune.

But I am not sure if the youngest 2 kids are or not.... kid 2 and 3 are NOT immune, and kid 3 is super sensitive to it.



can't decide if I want to risk getting kid 4 and 5 covered in 3rd degree burns.

"Enjoy" is extremely optimistic, but I will try not to kill her or pull my hair out. I will take her to the fair one day, on a road trip to visit her friends, fish & chips by the beach, push her chair thru Hobby Lobby for 3-4hrs & out to dinner for her 60th anniversary (the 1st one without my dad.) Its just hard, because I really try but shes never happy. She will tell me we didn't stay at the fair long enough, that she wanted to buy stuff at Hobby Lobby that's too big to ship & that she wanted to go to the fish place in LA, etc... (sigh!)

YIKES! I don't know what that is, but it sounds horrible!!! Can the goats eat it?

sadly the goats aren't fond of it. And we have LOTS.

maybe having things to complain about is her happy place.

Try to think of it that way.

Dang it! Gotta google it. Can you tell I'm stalling cleaning up here?

Black clouds are DEFINITY her happy place. It puts a heavy weight on my crowded little house.
