We all need to go over and RAID her cabinet! Sneak attack! Yah, yah, that's it. Shhh, don't warn her.

I want to know how RTG snuck an Emu into the barn to lay an egg without Elevan noticing.

Sorry it's been a bit crazy, in addition to me suffering from a head cold and not feeling like getting on the computer.

Saturday is the earliest date for Lilly to kid...hoping for twins

T-Bone has learned not to try and ambush me when I have the red feed bucket. (I beat the snot out of him with it).

Precious and Little Boy are such sweet hearts. I don't think we've ever had sweeter personalities in goat kids (I probably say that with every one )

Chickens are laying like crazy....I've got eggs coming out of my ears.

DH and I will be discussing the possibility of buying an incubator tomorrow.

I just ordered a new cell phone. My current one has hit it's boiling point and won't even load

Last call I got on it today was from the school to come and get B. His behavior issues are getting worse. I had a long chat with the principal. B is currently on the road to staying in Kindergarten next year as he spends more time in the office than in his classroom. He has a doctor's appointment on Tuesday to see if the issues can be tied back to biology. He had a rough start in life and at age 6 months spent time in Children's hospital where we where told that complications from the incident could show up years down the road. I think that's where we're at. Cross your fingers for a workable diagnosis as B's cuteness will only get him so far. The receptionist at the school told me today that his behavior issues are starting to overshadow the cute.

Hope everything is going to be alright.

Are we thinking pink twins?

And, now I am not the only wild woman to have beat cattle with a bucket!

Buying and incubator. HAHAHAHA. I tried that. Seemed like a logical thing when I had eggs coming out of my ears. BUT Guess what? All those eggs made chickens! and all those chickens made......more eggs!

As for B.......... Hang in there. I hear your frustration and its understandable. Hopefully, the visit with the doc will give some answers that will make things better for you, and a little boy whom I bet is sweet despite it all.

You are doing a good job. You are a good Mama.

Preferably pink.

Actually the incubator is for the mystery eggs only

Thank you. He is a sweet boy and an intelligent one too. Every one of the staff at the school say that they just love him. BUT, he has no impulse control and doesn't see wrong even though he knows right from wrong.

Today he refused to listen to the teacher and kept getting out of his chair and shutting out the lights. He's not doing anything in a mean or nasty way but he's disrupting the class and making learning difficult for all the students and well as the principal said "the teacher has to protect the other students from the distraction" and so B is sent to the office where he just seems to zone out the principal. It's like he doesn't even hear what is being said (even though he does).

We have the same issues at home. B's toy box is screwed shut and the rest of his toys are locked in the closet. We've taken everything away from him. We've tried every form of correction. And still he does what he wants.

We're at a loss and the school is at a loss...so we have to ask the doctor for help now. The plan is to have a conference at the school after the doctor appointment to discuss where to go from here.

 

[redtailgal]

Well, for sure get an incubator! I'd love to see your chick-emu-ineas!

 

[Roll farms]

Send the funky eggs to me. I won't go sneaking any baby ducks in when I take pics of what hatches....honest.

But...I PROMISE, they're duck eggs. Cross my heart.

I know how hard it can be raising one that dissrupts the class and so on his dr put him on a med that is time released so it does not build up in his system it os only their when taken and it helps now if they can make one for ***** cousins who like to contest guardianship when A wants to stay with me and she knows it. I hope you get to feeling better
