.....Is there anybody out there????......

I feal as though I have been undiscovered in this vast universe, at least internet wise....
Not that I am complaining. Actually I started this 'blog' thing because I wanted to have an online journal. ( and possibly feedback?) I wanted to have 'somewhere' to go....where I could vent, and noone would know it was me. Isn't that terrible. How passive agressive is that? I think I may still have a shred of sanity left, and maby this Blog will help me hang on to it....
RAMBLING.....
ANYWAY..... My daughter started Preschool last week. She is a morning person and usually takes naps during the time she is now in preschool. ( I hope her head dosen't spin around, while she is there...) Suffice to say it screwed up our existing schedule beond repair. Now when the littler kids would have been taking their nap I get to drive 15 miniutes(each way) to go and drop off and then retrieve their sister. Their naps are now in the van, and then I have to wake them up to go in and get their sister, and then they fall asleep in the van again on the way home. Also, my new little preschooler is falling asleep in her dinner. SIGH. And nevermind if I actually have to go and 'pick something' up from the store....It is a nightmare.... WHY where they so scheduled again? I knew that it would come back to bite me in the butt, one day... Hopefully things will settle down into a routine again soon. Before I go crazier.... When I was alittle kid I used to think that my mom was so awnrey all the time. Little did I know, I was probably the one MAKING her awnrey.... Ahhh to be a kid again.....

stupid economy....

I am addicted to looking through house ads. I have no desire to move, I just like to look. Well, this morning I found a house down a couple of streets from my own. It had three bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and was on an acre. Ours is a small two bedroom with one VERY small bath. Suffice to say, they were selling it MUCH cheaper then we bought ours for last year. Hell, if I COULD I probably WOULD sell this one and move 2 streets away. But no onewould buy mine if the other one was cheaper and bigger......SIGH......
So I guess we will do what we always do...make do with what we have. And be greatful for it.

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME...

My favorite things are:

The sound of rain on our tin roof.
A nice warm fireplace when it is cold outside.
Hot chocolate.
Wind chimes.
BBQs.
Camping.
My kids when they are laughing and playing (as opposed to fighting).
A good book.
The fealing you get when you help someone.
Holidays where the family gathers together.
Good friends.
The simplicity of milking my goat.
Our small farm.
Watching our chickens peck around the yard.
Watching the leaves change color.
The fealing you get when the seasons are changing again.
Pie.
Flowers.
Any dinner that I don't have to cook.

I guess that is a start. I can't think of what else....
Except that I am a mom of four small children, a wife to a wonderful husband, a caregiver to a calf called Big Hunk, a goat named Nanny, a pygmy goat named Baby, 9 chickens 1 rooster and 5 baby chicks......and three cats and one dog.......and a chicken in a peach tree.......
