hes physically disabled, he tries to help (and did help me move his bed) and I do what I can to encourage and even direct so he can do things himself (I try not to baby him like the rest of the family, because I know hes perfectly capable of a lot more than others seem to think...hes also smart and DOES take advantage of I cant im disabled" a lot...so I tell him "me too nw hop to" but with the desk he wa sin bed mum was doing her usual got to get this and this and this done, and I just said screw it, it was the easiest job on the list at the time lol
dad is at least showing a level of appreciation comfortable to him lol.
and we ARE making progress...kitchen is getting painted today and we are almost finished, I ripped the backsplash out while dad did the ceiling paint then I spackled the gouge holes where the backspash had been glued while dad started on the walls...now im pretty much just on coffee and rag duty while he does the majority of the paint...I just occasionally grab the little brush for any shine throughs.
its drying very nicely so were both hopefull 1 coat will be enough.
were not gonna get the backspash done tonight obviously, but its progress and good progress
though I think even dad was a little bugged by my sisters complete lack of help yesterday, (shes working today) and mum and brothers complete lack of Interest in even asking if we needed help...
least im not the only one seeing it now...
anywho...things ARE moving along, its looking good, cant wait to see it with the new backspash, were also going to be tiling the floor, but that will come later...and then new counters will wait until next year, they arnt in bad shape and will probably actuallylook nice with everything else done since they'll match the floor tile color.
I am about 6" from a mini breakdown though lol, it wouldn't take much for the snap.
the good news though.
we are adding Doe #4 Demeter, to our herd, shes a first freshner pure Nigerian, and milking 1 1/2 lbs a milking

I go to pick her up tomorrow.
yes its 1 more thing for me to do each morning and night, but it doesn't take me long to milk, and this girls good on the stand too, and we are using the milk.
hoping to breed both her and Ruthie in the Fall, ruthie to Frodo and Demi to Bilbo, thatll give me them refreshning in the spring then merry and pippin will be ready to breed fall 2015.
looking to add 2 more does too, would love a total fo 3 mini nubs and 3 nigi...that should give me a good ratio.
