A Tuesday Night List.
1) David has not shaved in, like, forever. I am thinking September-ish. He feels that he should not have to shave until he has killed the buck of his dreams. I feel he has lost his mind.
He’s looking pretty creepy, folks. But, alas. I have no photo to prove this.
He would not permit me to take his photo for the purpose of mocking his beard.
Imagine that.
2) David is selling off all of our rabbits (darn) and remaking the rabbit yard into a pigpen (darn).
I will leave it to you, the astute reader, to determine which “darn” in the above sentence is meant to be sarcastic.
Would you like to know his plan for Saturday? He is going to haul the horse trailer into town, purchase TEN pigs, load them into the trailer, and then go to our girls’ basketball game.
So, yes. We will be the family at the ball game with TEN pigs waiting in the parking lot.
Completely normal.
3) We came home from school the other day (cause that’s what we do now! we OUTSOURCE school!) and found one of our new baby kittens just roaming free.
It was exciting for us. We are lame like that.
4) We also came home to a turkey invasion.
(our trampoline is having issues)
(there are turkeys behind the bulldozer)
(turkeys behind horses)
And, no. We didn’t shoot any. And, yes. We know it is almost Thanksgiving.
5) Horse update! We gave Heffie (the solid brown horse, not pictured above) to our neighbor. She had to put her horse down and was feeling a bit blue. Our other two horses were biting and bullying Heffie, so we thought it would be best to give her a new home.
Heffie now lives down the road with her new friend, Shadow. We stop and see her everyday when we come home from school. She seems happier.
6) Last week, we had snow! It has since melted, but Handsome Dude and Daisy Mae made a snowman before it all disappeared.
Sorry the picture is blurry. Daisy Mae was the photographer. So we can blame her.
7) Last Saturday night was date night! Two kids went to David’s parents house overnight and two kids went to my parents’ house overnight.
It was all very exciting. Until . . .
We arrived back home around 9:45pm from going out when we got a call from David’s mom. Sweet Pea, for reasons yet to be determined, had broken out in hives. They were covering her body and she was telling Grandma it hurt to swallow.
So, we all met at the Emergency Room around 11:30 pm and didn’t leave until about 1:30am.
She is fine and we have no idea what caused the hives. Which is unsettling.
But she is fine and all is well.
Alright. I am pooped.
Remember? I work now.
Ha.
Happy Tuesday!
Sounds like Heffie found a good home.
Hmmm…rabbits multiply like rabbits and aren’t nearly as tasty as pigs so I’m thinking you’re happy the rabbits are going? Sounds like things are good…hope everyone is enjoying school, mom included : )
Yay, for Heffie.
I cannot believe you didn’t shoot a turkey…..nay, I cannot believe David did not shoot one or more turkeys.
Sweet Pea must write down everything she ate that day.
My husband used to get hives when he got cold…..like outside AND he worked in a meat locker , which is when/where
it started. Made hunting uncomfortable , but did that stop him, once again , nay.
For some reason menfolk think it makes them more manly to grow awful looking
facial hair. Cavemen.
Ten pigs at the ballgame surely spells a disaster of some sort……..at least you will have
lots of hands to help catch them. May I suggest you padlock the horse trailer while
in said ballgame…….but do not lose the key. 🙂
I’m thinking the first “darn” was sarcastic, the second more of a”d#%m”.
One of my friends recently discovered that her carpet had latex in it. Her baby is allergic to latex, so allergic that he got hives and had trouble breathing. So what I’m saying is that it may not be something she ate, but some other thing that she touched. Hope you guys figure it out.
I thought about latex as well…….maybe at school they used latex gloves for
a project of some kind
I read all of that and all I can focus on is the snow… I feel like everyone else in every other northern tier state has seen it this year but me! I keep missing it… The one morning it did snow here I was at a hotel about 3 hours away for the night (long story).
Are they your turkeys? Can you eat them? Once I broke out in hives and it turns out it was just an overabundance of dust. Once it happened to my offspring and it was mold from houseplants. I hope it wasn’t food because food allergies are extremely difficult to discover and manage – too many variables. Keep Benadryl or any generic antihistamine available and soda helps it work faster. Good luck with the pork business.
