It’s been a little minute. I didn’t used to be like that.
I will attempt to answer whatever questions came up in no particular order or just add to the conversations.
Well I think the hatch is over. Only 8 hatched and 7 survived. But actually there aren’t a whole lot of unhatched eggs in the bator so it was probably pretty good especially considering DH caught the temperature spike like crazy once. We have one butt hole cockerel who is already begging me for freezer camp. So I like to have a no nonsense farm. I know the best way to turn a profit is to not sell eggs unless they spend 21 days in the incubator. I try to keep Milo to have that high ratio of pullets for a better sale but I am determined to run a tight ship so I don’t let the cockerels get too old before I slaughter.
I have a confession: I cooked chicken a few days ago and today I used the leftovers to make gumbo. Well…. I didn’t personally know the chicken I used
. There. I said it.
So for a few hours DH hasn’t been able to find his wallet. I helped him search in the only way I know how. I started picking stuff up and tidying around. In the meantime I was listening to him talk about the last time he had it so I asked him if he looked around the truck he was putting the new battery in. That’s where it was.
I have intentionally held off going to the Dollar General so I can go today to use my $5 coupon.
We have a bunch of eggs ready for round 2 on the Bator. I knew one of them was bad because while looking for the wallet, I smelled something. I really wanted to get rid of it when I emptied the Bator but DH beat me to it.
So I have a few ‘delicate’ (French term for picky eaters), grandchildren. But I think it’s cuz they are my son’s children and not my daughter’s. Obviously my daughter cooks similar to me. My DIL…. Well I didn’t raise her so what can I say? She is in nursing school so I get that she doesn’t have time for much. They are fast food kids. The baby eats my food better than the older kids. I stopped worrying about if they like my food. I cook what I want and DS, the baby and I eat. If no one else wants to eat, that’s their problem.
So my bone density infusion finally messed up my teeth enough that I have my first ever cavity and need a root canal which I can’t believe the cost, so I have scheduled DH and myself an appointment at LSU Dental School for next month. Chewing hurts, the cold hurts. Sometimes just breathing hurts. So I informed my oncologist and he told me not to take my last infusion. Apparently it can cause serious problems with my jaw. I think I will refuse my next infusion as well.
Currently at war with our credit cards. The interest rates are ridiculous.
So everyone was in a panic a few days ago because of that Gulf storm and I took DD and HG to the grocery store. I stayed in the truck with the baby and I learned that I paid for the babies cereal (big deal) because WIC didn’t so I asked if HG got the rest of her formula for the month….No. I threatened her life…sorta. I mean how do you know if we gonna be able to come back within the next few days??
. So I said well we best look like feeding her food. Also if we don’t have any power outages the rest of the summer I guess we’ll have fuel to cut grass for a long time.
Oh well….. Dollar General here I come
wish I'd read this an hr ago! Before the ham sandwich 
I want them back, even empty.... They're $$$
. I am willing to bet DH can sweat more than all of yours 
. OVERSHARE!!!! But in all fairness we have a really warm climate. So as of Friday I got a handicap license plate, I turned in a plate to save insurance money and I tended to a late registration for DS on a vehicle my dad gave me when he got sick. DS immediately reimbursed me. Currently bossing the girls around on laundry. 
They are fun at first, then work, then more work if freezer fill. 
. I just incubated some that hatched 3 wks ago. For layer pullets & freezer roo. But only a few since a hen had hatched a few, plus I'd bought a few. It'll all work out.
