Wifezilla's Rampage - Weekend Update w/ pics

[Wifezilla]

I have been having trouble selling ducks so I tried a new tactic. I offered to swap ducks for garden extras. I have 4 ducks going to 2 new homes tonight and I am getting tomatoes, apples, and patty pan squash in return

Both are BYC members. One I have done business with before! The really cool part is that the guy who is taking Twister and Domino already has some special needs critters (he has a lap chicken and a 1 legged rooster ). The other BYC member also knows him and he comes highly recommended as a good home for birds.



I am so glad I found a home for Twister where she wont get picked on by a flock of ornery snobs like the ducks I apparently have. I still have 2 more to rehome to get the flock down to a manageable winter size. The rest better start laying again soon OR ELSE!!! (Waves soup pot at lazy slackers!!)

again, wish I was close enough to swap!

or that we could organize a duck transport

That's right, ducks. Butchering was FUN so you better make yourselves useful! Muahaha!

I dropped off the ducks with Chandra and in return I got a box of gala apples from a local orchard, tomatoes and patty pans out of Chandra's garden, and spaghetti squash from Allen.

Then today I got this email...

"The ducks are beautiful!

I held the special one after she got home and she calmed down.

They are in a large cage with hay in it for the night.

In future, they will sleep in the hen house, but I did not want to stress her out anymore!

I will post pictures of them as soon as I can.

Thank you so much, they will have a wonderful forever home here!

Allen"

Awwww!!!

awwwwwwwwwwww!!!!

I still wish I was close enough to barter with you for the last two girls!!!

 

[Wifezilla]

Me too! Quick! Someone invent a transporter!

I wish I had something to barter for your ducks ... maybe in the Spring or next Summer?

 

[Wifezilla]

Sure

If my slackers ever start laying again

I want to see a picture of his gimpy spoiled rooster too !

In case anyone wants to know why government programs cost so much money....

It has taken us A YEAR to get Max in to a new day program. An. Entire. Year. During that time we have had meeting after meeting (over a dozen), filled out mountains of paperwork...most saying the same thing over and over... and have generally been frustrated as all get out. But now, FINALLY, Max starts TOMORROW!!!



Now don't get me wrong. I love my son. But he has been in my face, destroying the house, screaming at his video games, eating all the damn food, chewing my canning bands, trashing the bathrooms....

When he was in school, that break gave us time to pick up, enjoy a little clean time, unwind, relax, and get ready to take care of him all over again. Him being in adult daycare 2 days a week is NOT enough time to recoup! Especially with work being so busy. I need time in the house ALONE to clean and cook...

Which brings me to my next point. I have a batch of mostly finished plum sauce I need to complete. I keep grilling peppers and Max keeps stealing them. I will try again today to get it done. I also have 3 more cabbages to cut up and either make cole slaw or cook down in butter and freeze. Then there is the monster squash I cooked down the other day. That is also in the fridge waiting for bagging and freezing. I almost forgot about it and left it in the roaster overnight. Sheesh.

Anyone want a absent-minded professor type husband to talk to for a couple of days? And an autistic 22 year old to bring a touch of sureality to your life? 48 hours alone would do my house and cupboards good...
