Two steps Backwards :(

Last nights 75 mph winds tore off the roof of the house! :(

So instead of looking like we are moving forward, it looks like we are 2 weeks behind.

(gotta love the $1,000.00 deductible grrr...)

Sad day on the farm,

While the rain fell last night, I lost 16 chicks, mostly they look like they were huddled to keep dry, and the smaller ones were used to insulate the floor to keep the others warm, We also lost one turkey and the second turkey was pretty rough off, but we may have saved it. ( I don't know what gender it is)
I had to dip her in a warm sink full of water, it got her body temps up, and they I dried her off with pine shavings. She immediately stopped shivering, and was breathing more normal.

My poor Gracie is such a tender heart, she is sobbing at the loss of the chicks.

Started out with 75 chicks and 2 turkeys,
we now have 54 chickens and 1 turkey.

That is a loss of $76.00 so far :(

We are praying that we can keep the rest healthy.

Life, can be a handful!

What can I say, with 5 kids, 7 goats, 89 chickens, and a house being built, all while my husband flies planes 2400 miles away. Life can be FULL OF IT! (Whatever "it" is you decide)

The past two days I have cried over:
Mean people
Shallow people
A broken Digital Canon Rebel
A broken heart (7 year olds, not mine)
My wheat grinder is making a whining sound (not good)
my Checking account is at $0.88
and I have 13 days before I get another pay check.
I totally forgot a good friends Birthday AFTER I scheduled a lunch date with her (some friend I am!) I feel like such a LOUSE!

Life can be hard.
On the good side:
I got to speak to my sister Allie until 12:45 a.m 2 Whole hours! (never happens, we both value our sleep too much)
I spoke with Lia about stuff... she always makes me laugh.
And My Under-Roos flashing cousin decided to call me while he drove from Cali to Utah and reminisce. (actually he is trying to guilt trip me into going to Lake Powell this summer...not gonna happen.)



I made a video of Zeke growling (its actually pretty funny) but cant figure out how to get it on here, and it is gettign past my bedtime so I probably wont try any more tonight.

I am on page 196 of 515 of the B.O.M. the Stk. Prez has asked the entire stake to have it read by April 20th (our next stake conference) that is 30 pages a day... NO SWEAT!

Well, I am exhausted just from treading water today. I would love a break. (not of the more broken household items kind... of the Publisher Sweepstakes balloon knock on the door kind... Do you have to play the sweepstakes in order to actually win?

Well, I suppose their is no hope there either.

Who votes for the best invention this year is SPELL CHECK USING THE RIGHT CLICK?@!!

WHOO HOO! ME ME !
