HAPPY BIRTHDAY! :woot

Remember age is just a number. ;) You are only as old as you feel! :p (which in my case I feel twice my age sometimes, I'll be screwed if this keeps up! :/)

ok, today I'm feeling my age :rolleyes:. Completely overdid it this weekend. Stayed up too late Friday. Drove to Brehnam on Saturday and didn't get home until 10:30 Saturday night. Yesterday we washed chickens to get ready for the show Saturday and then started working outside. Hauled chicken poop to garden, fixed separated area in coop so we could move hens and chicks out of the broody boxes and then did several other things. My legs and ass hurts, among other things today.

thinking about everyone :) just so busy at the office I don't time much extra time. I'm looking forward to the show. I'll let everyone know how I did on Monday. I was hoping it would be a family event, but the ex is working nights and DD has a field trip so it will be just me and DS. I know he's not going to enjoy getting up at 5:00 am, but hopefully he'll sleep most of the way.

The doe I'm fostering is supposed to be picked up on the 29th, I'm keeping my fingers crossed. She's not mean, but just pushy and she eats a lot :) Without her I'll just have 3 does, Masey, Daisi, and Emma. Depending on how Daisi's udder looks after she kids in April, will depend on if I sell her or not. I may just keep her around to keep up supplied with meat goats. we'll see.

hey guys and gals - I just posted in the birthing section. I noticed this morning that Masey's udder is starting to fill. Her due date is 4/16. This is her 2nd freshening and her first produced twins. I'm expecting at least twins (or a 1 REALLY big doeling :) - any idea if this means she gonna go early?

busy, busy, busy weekend

Thursday - Grannie fell and broke her finger - she's ok, but in a half cast for 4 -6 weeks - more to the story but too long to type right now - but she's ok.

Friday - crap at the office - bad, bad, bad I was so stressed - but I keep telling my self I'm thankful that I have a job - but with all the sh**t I have to put up with I'd rather be getting paid for cleaning someone's barn :) Sheriff was called out to my mom's house - My sister has been moved back home for less than a month and the crap has already started. The fiance was drunk and yelling / cursing at her and then start yelling and cursing at my mother in front of all the kids - my DD told me she was scared that he was going to hit my mother - it was bad, but my sister hasn't told him to leave and so he's still there.

Saturday - show went well. 1 5th place, 1 3rd place, 2 2nd place, 1 1st place and an older gentleman who won quite a few trophies went around afterward and asked all the kids who didn't win if they wanted a trophy (he won more than 6) and those that said yes he let them pick one of his so my son went home with a huge trophy. He was so excited :)

Sunday - started plating - 9 rows sweet corn, 1 1/2 rows beets, 1 rows okra, 1/2 salad mix, 1 row cukes, 1 row green beans, 1 row sweet peas, 1 row edamame, 1 row of 3 different kids of peppers, 1 row of 3 different kinds of squash. I still have 2 rows of tomatoes and a 1 row of black eyed peas to go. We are going to plant "feeder" corn in the front yard - I can't remember what type of corn, but we will use this for the animals. I don't think I'll have enough for 50 pounds, but we'll see. This is the first year for corn so I'm not sure what I'm doing

I'm thankful that we will be getting off Good Friday - I will hopefully be doing a lot of resting.
