Java. the end.

School started for the kids yesterday Now it's just me and me littlest one at home. It's so good to be back on a schedule again. I need it.
We are trying to prepare for the goats. Couldn't start the fence because our clay soil is so hard right now that we need to get a post driver. DH won't buy one, so we are hitting up our 4-H friends. And we are building a 12X 6 (I think) shelter for them, kind of in a loafing shed style but modified for the location. The goal is to have it finished by Labor Day. Tight schedule for us, but exciting. Now that the weather has cooled, we feel like working.

I have to get my last 2 amalgam fillings replaced today because they are falling apart. I have a good dentist, so it's no big deal.

Yay all around! We go back a week from today. Although I do love my summers off, I'm ready to get back to a routine and have someone else entertain DS on a daily basis, if you know what I mean! I'm also ready to start receiving paychecks again.
I've had a few of my old fillings replaced. You're right. With a good dentist, it's no big deal and I love my new white fillings! I used to have tons of amalgam in there. I'd be thrilled to have them all done!

I am so proud of hubby! He built this in just 2 days. I finally convinced him that an animal shelter doesn't have to be built like a people shelter (It took him 3 months to build the chicken coop, and yes, I think we could live in it ) He builds, I paint and it works out well.
I was planning on buying a pre built barn because of hubby's previous slow projects, but I couldn't find what exactly what I wanted and the prices are ridiculous! So we did this for around $300, and it's perfect. It's 6 x 12, 6 feet tall at the front. We left the end open instead of doing doors, and also because that side faces north, which is best for our weather patterns here and I can see inside it from the house. We may add some "windows" to the long side in the spring, but for now it's finished.
Now we need the summer heat to break so we can do the fencing.

...and I now have 2 sick children...way to start the school year with a bang. I think it's a combo of allergies - ragweed is awful right now - and heat exhaustion. My daughter especially is affected by the heat and she spent the whole weekend outside
