Daddy's girl...

Today J came home sick from work...which is amazing because he doesn't normally take off a day for anything, even when he's sick. M and I have just been hangin out and playing, but when he came home and did't pick her up or stop to say hello she got really angry. Now, typically I can substitute and pick her up and she'll be fine, but I offered and she crawled away and started crying again. I offered again with the same result and decided just to let her figure it out herself. J decided take a bath, but, unknowing to him, he shut the bathroom door just as she wast crawling towards it - and him. Which got her even more upset...not only was dad not stopping to say hello, he was shutting her out. Once again I tried to help by distracting her, but nothing was to be done - she didn't want me, she wanted dad. So we opened the bathroom door and let her play in there while J took a bath. After the bath she still wouldn't let go...I've never seen her quite this attached before...J took her hand and she walked with him to the bedroom, but as soon as he let go she got angry again......well, apparently today is a dad day...too bad for miserable, sick dad, who doesn't even want to move.

Awww ... but I always feel good even when I'm sick and my kitty wants to be with me ... granted I don't have to entertain, feed or change her.

Chicken Adventure Begins

Our first step towards the 'homestead' lifestyle: CHICKENS.  J and I have been researching, reading books & articles, and saving a TON of info to our Pinterest board.  I know we are in for some surprises and troubles, but we are doing our best to head them off and avoid other peoples mistakes. (J is still trying to convince me that we need to start pigs this year.  I keep reminding him that is one of the PRIMARY mistakes other homesteaders have made: being too eager and getting in too deep, too fast). So, we start our garden and chickens this year - keeping our fingers crossed that we aren't putting them in poor locations.  The chickens are the first thing branching out into our additional 2 acres.  The coop and kennel are going at the outside, back corner of our fenced in yard.  Our coop is valiantly being made from old cabinets we picked up at the local Habitat for Humanity, Re-Store.  We intend to paint, add roof, prop up on legs, and insert s...

Caught Bare Bottomed.

Yesterday I went to retrieve my kids from playing in the backyard with the neighbors....When I round the corner I behold my 5 year old daughter with her shorts baring her bottom to the 6 year old neighbor boy. Me:  M!  E!  It is time to go home. now! M:  E did it too! (while sheepishly pulling her shorts back up and E snaps his head around to look at me with big eyes and "O" mouth) WHY?

Clearance Puppy

This has been a really crazy weekend. Thursday J got a call from a breeder he had been speaking to 3 or 4 months ago. We were going to go look at a puppy of his (with no real intention of buying) back then, but when we called the breeder said he just sold the last female 2 hours previously. Then on thursday he called to tell J that a buyer backed out last minute and J has first chance at getting her, so Friday we went to see her. She was discounted for us (and b/c she is older now, I think) and much more affordable - and so we brought her home, and her name is Sugar. Sug (shoog) for short. She is very sweet and calm, and listens really well. She is a yellow lab, and for all of you who have read the book or watched the movie - yes, we bought the "clearance puppy"! And actually we stopped at Blockbuster to return some movies and a big Marley & Me poster was in the window and M said :"Is that a picture of Sugar?" - I hope not! Saturday was the last 50 cen...
