what came first...the chicken or the egg???

My son had a "show and teach" presentation to do for his class. So in my infanete wisdom, I suggested that he bring an egg, a chick, and a hen to class and teach them a few things we have learned over the last few years about chickens... I wrote to the teacher and she wrote back saying it sounded like a great idea!
Well, that was last week and the day of the 'show and teach' is today...WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING??? Honestly, it sounded like a good idea at the time...It didden't even occur to me that I was going to be the one who haul all of these things(plus a one year old and a two year old) into his class room!!! Heaven help me!

On top of that scary prospect...I vagley remember waking up this morning to my hubby saying something about the big van not working and he was taking mine to work.

SO...luckely my Mother in law lives just around the corner and is awesome enough to let me use her car for the chore...I was really hoping that my father in law would come along and help me, but he didden't offer...and I really should have asked....

The school front is still good....I got an A in Medical termonology!! And am now finished with that class. Tonight I have a final in my computer class, but honestly, HOW can you study for that??? I dunno, I am just hoping for the best. I think I will be happy if I pass that class at all regardless of the grade!

The dreaded hour of the 'chicken project' draws near...Must get something done in the house before I zoom off to inform the world about Chickens!.....Till next time!

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.......
