Wannabefree...guess what I got in the mail today!?!?!?!?

[Wannabefree]

I feel better this morning after a good sleep!!!! I think today we're going to tackle getting everything cleaned up around here. I need to move the chicken tractor, and clean it up. The coop needs cleaning, and fresh bedding, the cow barn needs more bedding. The greenhouse needs some attention. I need to set out broccoli. I need to start more tomatoes, and seeds. I need to get some work done on the future coops. I need to sow grass seed in some bare spots in the yard, and there is just plenty of work. I have to take DD to work at 4, and a lady there is wanting eggs, so I need to remember to collect those for her and take them with me. There are crates and pallets all over the place right now that need to get cleaned up and organized. then that's just OUTSIDE I need to make bread, do laundry, sweep and mop, and straighten up the living room. It has been a three ring circus around here lately, and so the place is a disaster area, and we need to get on it and clean it up. Also have to get the brooder cleaned up, and get chickies transferred from the small brooder to the larger brooder outside. There is SO much work to do, I'm skipping the flea market this week and going for getting everything done around here instead.

Good luck! That sounds like a big weekend to me!

As usual, my plans got squished somewhat. And my mom made me mad :/ I spent the day doing stuff for everyone else....again. DH needed things from the store, DD wanted to go to her Mamaws, R needed things from the store.....a guy called wanting Delaware chicks, a neighbor FINALLY picked up her stuff I saved for her, and I got 3 more calls about various farm type stuff. I did get the brooder fixed up, and the tractor moved, and some farm rearranging done, with R's help we got a good bit done, and bless his heart, he did laundry while I shopped for everyone.

My mom, looked me in my eye, and said "I'll be glad when you get settled down!"

Me: What do you mean?
Mom: I need you to haul some things for me, and you're always busy!! I'll be glad when you can get over here and help me!
Me: Maybe some day........

Really? I swear, I feel like sometimes that's all I am to some people, just a way to get what they want without regard for how I feel or what I want. It just really crawled under my skin for my own mother to have the same attitude....just peeved me off royally. It's not about what I need, it's about what I can do for everyone else. And THIS from the same person who tells me ALLLLLL the time "they're just taking advantage of you." Yeah? Well, congrats mom on graduating to the very same group in which you gripe about

Nevermind that this is one of the MANY families that gets food from my truck almost weekly. I help her ALL the time, because I know they're in a not so great situation with my niece being there, and no child support coming(yet, they don't want ME to have her ).

I think I'm just all fresh out of usefullness with them for a while. Maybe that's wrong, but so be it. I'm tired of folks with their stupid attitudes, and that hurt my feelings, and I'm not taking any crap from people anymore. I'm DONE

DD aggravated me this morning too, about some stupid pair of jeans she just HAD to have, that were laying on the back of the couch(long week, it gets stupid around here) for two whole days that she COULD HAVE hung up, but didn't bother. Yet, when they got moved, that's the ONLY pair she has clean yadda yadda blah blah, first thing this morning, mind you. She even had the audacity to talk down to R because "my jeans don't get folded, they get hung up" Really now? Sorry princess, we had no idea!! R does dishes for her when she works, EVERY TIME, but tonight, he has been strictly banned from doing so. If my stankin brat can't appreciate what others do for her, then she can do for her little arrogant, smart mouthed, particular, self from here on out

DH, and R, aside from all their requests today, have been great, thankfully, they may have actually saved lives DH even gave me a shoulder massage for a few when he came in from work while we talked. R has been a HUGE help around here, especially lately, and so we've been trying to squeeze a few extra pennies here and there to get him some more clothes. He doesn't ask for much, just needed some tanks to work in, and was very thankful for them. He's gonna make some lady a good husband one of these days, if DD doesn't keep on and make him hate females before he can get on his feet to move

I love my guys, they keep me sane!!

I did buy some more chickens today, couldn't pass them up, can make a decent ammount on them when I get ready to sell. R tipped me off to the seller having some, and I was already there, so stopped by. I got 10 pullets, just started laying well....$8 each! I got 3 more from the guy who wanted the Dels, we traded even for a dozen chicks. I have had SO many folks wanting eggs lately, I may keep all these and just sell out of the older group. That gives me 13 specifically for laying, and then the Dels when I'm not hatching. That should be plenty of eggs for now.

Anyway, that was my day. Hope everyone else had a great day!!

WBF, I hear ya, and relate. And that's one reason I want off the farm so badly. It's gotten to the point where the only people I don't really mind doing things for are CL and LF. Neither of them live close, so they can't be here as much as the others. And both of them are always willing to help me if I need it. In fact, when I had my operation last year, CL offered to take off work so she could feed my horses! Of course, I turned her down. But, even if she's there all day, KN forgets to give her horse her second feeding at times. I honestly can't figure that one out.

 

[Wannabefree]

You can't figure it out? It's simply laziness, that's DD's problem I'm sure. She could have taken her jeans and out them away. People will treat you the way you train them to treat you, I am a FIRM believer in that! Which is why, I am cutting a couple folks off completely till they learn to show a little more respect. AND this is also why R is not doing dishes for the little princess tonight. Some folks need some brushing up on their "training" around here

 

[Denim Deb]

Good for you. Hope she learns fairly quickly. (And quietly! )

 

[Wannabefree]

She better, she has her daddy fuming right now too, and that doesn't bode well for her

 

[Denim Deb]

Might be just what she needs. Wish my hubby had woken up to what he was teaching the kids earlier. I might not have so much to get done around here now. :/

 

[Wannabefree]

Yeah, DH is seeing now what i went through with the demanding and snotty attitude years ago with the eldest spawn.....DD16 is just a bit worse than the other was, but not by much. Teenagers are so unbalanced

OH!!! I took her driving today She scared the mess out of her Mamaw, it was kinda funny I let her drive the back back backroads She almost ditched it several times, and then we got almost there and saw her mamaw taking a walk, well when DD went to pull over, she literally pointed the truck at her grandmother You could smell the fear I took the wheel from there. She did okay, but I wouldn't let her get over 20 mph, because she wanted to get too far over toward the ditch, and she jerks the wheel, and overcompensates. To turn left, she gets waaaaaaaaaaaaay over on the other side of the road...

Needless to say, it's her daddy who will be taking her next time, if she expects a next time

 

[frustratedearthmother]

That's for you!

Is for all the ungrateful folks in your life. May they learn quickly to show gratitude!
