Week two of having everyone in the family home on vacation and school break is thankfully coming to an end. We have had SO much snow and the temps have been in the negative digits, so we have all been cooped up together and it…
Hubby has been on vacation this week and the country kids got out on Christmas break on Wednesday. Can I just say, I love my family deeply, but we should OT have to spend so much “quality” time together! LOL Seriously, I have head a…
The cold weather and snow have finally hit the homestead this week. In fact the country kids got their first snow day too! I am trying really hard to get into the Christmas spirit, because, well, I’m running out of time till Christmas! While the…
I have been trying really hard to get in a festive mood, but the country kids are turning me into a Scrooge! Their behavior is out of control and I have had it up to “here” with them. I seriously haven’t even put our tree…
The country kids are back in school!!!! I am thankful that Thanksgiving break is over. I’m sorry, our family loves each other, but we should not be made to spend so much time together. Seriously, the noise level in this house was just bad. The…
This week started off with the littlest country kid still sick with strep throat. No matter what we did his fever just wouldn’t break. He ended missing school the first two days of the week, only to go back on Wednesday and then be off…
Winter is trying to blow it’s way in, but luckily the flurries have been melting as soon as they hit the ground. While I am not ready for snow, I am getting tired of the rain and mud. I know living in Michigan we get…
There is a chill in the air. Okay, more then a chill. It been down to 11 degrees at one point. I think fall is officially over. And the smattering of snow flurries near the weekend only confirm my suspicions that Old Man Winter is…
It’s been a week of tricks and treats. We have made progress on our roofing project but it’s been a trick to cut and place the metal sheets. The treat is that there is no more leak or sunlight coming through the roof! We have…
It has been the longest, wetest week ever. I am so over being wet. The ducks are loving it, but I am not. Nor am I enjoying the nasty mess that is forming in our critter shed because part of the roof collapsed. Thankfully this…
The rains have finally stopped! To bad they are coming back. I am sooooo over being wet! I am so tired of the temp patch I did on the critter shed leaking. But we took advantage of the nice days this week to dry out….
It has been a loooong wet week around the homestead. The roof on our critter shed had a collapse and we are trying our best to deal with it as we are sort on funds to repair it properly. It has been an ongoing battle…
Mother Nature still can’t make up her mind, but the temps are slowly staring to creep back down, thankfully. Our garden is coming to an end and we have been harvesting the straglers. This week has been one of celebration as the oldest country kid…
This week has been a week full of Mondays. The oldest country kid is having a hard time in life, partly due to his hitting puberty and his Asperger’s. The ugly side of social media reared it’s head. And my over all lack of sleep…
This week has taken me to the edge of sanity and back. Critters have gone missing, only to reappear unharmed. Country kids have pushed my to the brink, only to make me smile. I am telling ya, this old girl needs a nap! The beginning…
