    I Need Advice - As in what would you do? yes, chicken related...lol...

    I think if anyone on here knows anything about me, it's I'm addicted to my chickens and I really do enjoy having them. I need to make a list of pros and cons - reasons to keep or not to keep poultry. Seriously. The deal is this - we're going to have regular income. Enough income, that we...

    WHoooHooo!! I WIN!! First Fire of the season!!

    I've been asking E all day for a fire in the woodburner, because it's chilly. I've kept long sleeves on all day, so has he, and Baby Girl has been bundled up in a sleeper and blankets. E finally walks into the room addition and says, "Whoa! It's cooler out here than in there!" So he's building...

    I just realized - I'M SPENDING PREMIERE WEEK IN THE HOSPITAL!! I totally SUCK at remembering what shows come on what day, and on what channel - especially since the hospital t.v.'s do NOT have the plain local channels - they've got fancy DirecTV or Dish or something. WHAT AM I GONNA DO? I...

    Homemade Laundry Soap FLOP?!

    I made my first batch of homemade laundry soap, and I think I messed it up and totally flopped it somehow. I just want to cry - over laundry, yes, because baby boy had an accident in his pants - so I washed them all proud that I MADE the soap myself - and I followed the recipe, etc. His pants...

    What do you WANT to learn to do?

    I'm just curious if any of ya'll have skills you still want to learn, or haven't tried yet? I've made some "pet quilts" but they weren't really "quilted", so I'm thinking I want to expound on that and jump into making real quilts, and learn how to quilt. I'd also like to learn how to mend and...

    What I learned in Kmart today!

    A Kmart employee as we were leaving asked, "Are you ready to check out?" We told her we had just come to see if they had the travel system I wanted and she said Oh Ok. She looks at Baby Boy and smiled and asked, " When are you due?" and I said 3 weeks. She then asked, "do you know what you're...

    Wish me Luck!

    I am taking my huge, waddling, extremely cranky hormonal self down the dirt road to the Amish that got Ash logs from us - and didn't pay. :somad E said if I go down and "request" (more like rant/rave/demand) payment from him, then I can have the money for whatever I want to use it for. Phone...

    Church Joke (not religious at all!)

    A fellow came to work on Monday with 2 black eyes. His coworker asked "Alfred,how did you get 2 black eyes?" "Well, yesterday in church, we all stood up to sing, and I noticed the heavy lady in front of me had her skirt caught in her crevice. I pulled it out & she whopped me one!" "Well, Al...

    And I just met the weirdest lady........

    even our Russian Orloff rooster didn't like her! He's our wimpiest rooster - but he definitely wanted a piece of this woman! She came to pick up the extra crib and a few other extra baby items I have. She said she's trying to help a woman who's due with a baby girl in December who had...

    Nicknames - post has nothing to do with being self sufficient LOL

    So I'm kinda weird, I guess, when it comes to naming my children. I don't believe in Nicknames. I name my kids what I want them to be called. Granted, all of the kids have had pet names here and there (DD was our little Belle - not a part of her name at all - and our oldest DS was Turtle...

    What Equates Emergency? aka...need to pack a hospital bag....

    I was just thinking, emergency preparedness doesn't necessary mean a world wide emergency, sometimes the emergency can be on a personal level, right? In other words, I'm totally dragging my feet in packing mine and the baby's hospital bag. I've done this 5 times already, this will be my 6th...
