Well, here we are. The last day of school. Shit. Now, I love my kids. I really do. But I don’t think anyone loves the idea or the task of being home with THREE boys all day, everyday. All day with an 8, 6 and 2 year old? Ugh. Everyone annoys everyone, someone is always […]

Today was one of those days that just started off horribly. I woke up abruptly from a nightmare, to a real life nightmare. At least, that’s what it felt like. Yesterday we had some horrible storms and massive flooding in our area. Yet, I still had to drive my son to school, and my other

Yesterday, I was sad. And since it’s springtime…the only obvious solution was to buy some more baby chicks. This is something I do every year, and plan for ahead of time…but yesterday was a spur of the moment decision. I already have 15 coming at the end of May…so it’s not like I wasn’t already

It’s day 2 with no power, and from the looks of it, I’m not expecting it to be on any time soon. They haven’t even cleared the trees that are on top of the down lines, so there’s still some work to be done. Since we have (now 12) baby chicks in my bathroom, and

Oh, chick season. My favorite time of year. This year we added 7 babies to my existing flock of 5, and in July, I’ll be adding 3 more ducklings to my existing 3 ducks as well. These babies were born on my birth sons birthday and got here the day after. (No, of course I

One of the ways I cope with the instability…and overall shitiness of my reality, is to throw myself into loving and caring for…anything. I’ve got my husband and my two boys, but that’s not exactly enough sometimes. I have a tendency (which my amazing husband supports and lets me do with very few limitations) to….get
