Pearce Pastures: Where did I go?

[CocoNUT]

Nice photos Pearce! That last photo is kinda cute...it's almost like your doe is looking at you guys like "hey...remember me? I could use some attention...."
Sorry about the bad haircut. That totally sucks. Glad your SIL was able to smooth it out. I get my hair cut once every 6 months to a year. Too many bad experiences!
Bridge - you should've called me! I'm pretty good with the haircuts! I used to cut all my girlfriends hair in college and I cut the Evil one's hair all the time! I'd cut my own hair but i'd probably mess it up!
Marlow - good thing you're in NC - a mullet won't stand out too much huh? Besides...all things 80's are COOL again...so it'll be a matter of time before the mullet will be the "it" hairstyle! You're ahead of the curve!
YAY for the peeps! I'm getting 'chick fever' too. I really WANT an incubator...told DH again I want him to make me one. I'll probably just have to go out and get me one. Although then there'd be NOTHING stopping me from going TOTALLY INSANE!!!!
Pearce...you have a BEAUTIFUL family! (you too!)

Yeah, SIL was a lifesaver on this one. Thanks CocoNut

SO excited to meet another BYH buddy in about 30 minutes. She is coming to pick up some chicks. Fun!

Had a great time today with Promiseacres and her adorable kiddos. My kids were so excited to have friends over to play---actually Julia is still asleep We will have to make plans to go see her miniature horses next. I love how many people I have gotten to know through BYH.

We decided to unplug the unhatched eggs and do a little egg-topsy to see what was going on with the OEG eggs that didn't hatch. I am positive they were fertile but upon opening them, there was nada in the way of development so either they were not fertile or they got too cold before coming inside to be incubated. We will just have to try again.

DH took Elliott for his first post-op visit. I think he is healing up just fine and more than anything now I am worried he is going to hurt himself running around and jumping Can't keep him slowed down for long. Oh, to be kid and have that much energy.

Back to work tomorrow. It has been so nice to be at home with the kids and taking care of them and the animals. Makes me wish I could just stay at home full time.

I was just going to post on your journal Pearce asking how Elliott was doing...and you posted an update

Your family is beautiful, and I knew you would be too...have seen a photo of your Mom and she is lovely! Not to worry about a bad haircut...one of my Aunts used to say the difference between a good and bad haircut is about 2 weeks

Chicks are settled in we had fun too. So nice to meet people with common interests
Pearce you have a winner in your dh! Love how well he knew his way around the kitchen. the hair cut though not what you wanted was cute.

Thanks Promiceacres It dries fast, so there is another plus side of having a short do.

DH is a keeper. Love that man so much. He just called me though-went to the wrong doctor's office

He called the right one up but by the time he would get there, they would be getting closed so we will have to reschedule. No worries though-the stitches are dissolvable and everything looks fine so a few more days isn't a big deal.

Thanks for the update on Elliott...was thinking about you all today, wondering how he was healing up.
Sorry about the eggs.
Well it won't be long til DH is done with school and on his way so to speak... then you can stay home! I know you'd love it...just keep your college classes.... ok pay but way less stress...

Oh I made another rhyme... maybe it's because I have kids goat kids that is..see what happens when you bring out your old stored playpen.

We are butchering DinDin!! He is ready and so am I. He has taken to shoving the does out of the way of their daily ration of feed and eats it all (which of course is too much for him anyway). I can't wait for some goat chili, sausage, some roast, whatever. Mom is already planning out where to put her goat housing and looking for a movable electric fence so we can make good use of her property and maybe lower our feed cost.

I have decided to go ahead and learn to butcher on my own in the future :/

On the home and work front, things are kind of tough right now (which is why I am not on here much lately). Can't say much right now, but as much as I think people would say I am a "take charge" kind of women, I don't do well at advocating for myself and sometimes I get walked all over. Enough is enough though and I am taking some steps to fix the problems I should have prevented in the first place.
