Once upon a time I was a competent women. I owned my own house and car I had a job I did things to keep my life in order by myself.

Now, fourteen years and two kids later, I live on a farm and apparently cannot do anything right! DH left last night and he'll be gone for a week. I know many military wives handle much worse and for much longer - but this is the longest we've been separated since we got married.

First the TV stopped working. Why? Who knows? Yesterday morning the TV worked - he leaves the TV does not work.

Then this morning - I open up the boy's temporary coop and they are all gone. GONE. ALL 12! The coop looked so untouched I did not suspect a thing. I kept staring into it thinking I was somehow just not seeing them. Why now? We knew the coop was not the most secure, but the boys have been in there for 3 weeks! And the very first night he is gone they ALL get taken?

They were going to be food chickens anyway, but I feel so horribly guilty and incompetent. The coop looks fine! I found one little clump of feathers a few feet away and nothing more. Raccoon?

Who knows? But why on my first night?!?!?!?! I swear I did everything we always do! Most nights I put them to bed by myself anyway!

it more then likely would have happened even if he was there, just a timing thing, so sorry this is happening to you. Maybe you can figure out what happened to the T.V. about the chickens no idea I would be looking for some holes usually a raccoon will not take all of the bodies with it, maybe a snake, or fox not sure good luck in finding out.
 
Why? cuz this is life, that's why. You just need to realize that your life is just like everyone elses. It's not you, it's not him, it's just the way it is. Nothing to stress about. Your stronger than you realize. Carry on.

Into every life some rain must fall.

Oh and tell him I said thank you for my freedom.
 
It happens!!! Hubby was on a trip a few years ago and I flew home to go back to work..... first night home the garbage disposal broke..... second night home the bathroom flooded from a broken pipe..... third night home his truck was taken out of the driveway. It always happens that way when they are gone!!!

I come on here sometimes just to read about how messed up other people's lives are so my life doesn't look so bad!

Sad, isn't it??

My life is good compared to many others, I am just upset that it happened the minute he left. I swear I want to make things stress free for him and when things go wrong back here he feels terrible, so I feel terrible for things going bad here...... And they were only babies, I feel guilty.

If it was a fox, it was a small one!!!
