Radio show went great! We talked about my jams / jellies and goat meat and my guinea eggs and a bunch of stuff in that short bit of time. I wasn't as nervous as I thought that I'd be since it felt like I was talking to one person.

Funny, but I was considering autographing a hard copy of Goat Notes and auctioning it on our new BST system. 
Folks were coming into the store yesterday saying that they heard me on the radio and wanted to check the store out. We're still trying to get people used to having a local foods store in their midst instead of them having to drive to Columbus to get "local" fresh foods. The milk and butter at the store is awesome in and of itself and is well worth the extra cost...it comes in old fashioned glass bottles too. Squirrel, next time you're in Mt. Vernon you should check it out...maybe I'll be there and we'll finally meet
Gonna be working on the rabbit hutch / grape trellis / herb garden (yeah it's expanding again) this weekend. I need it ready for me to plant herbs next month.
Thursday we're going to OSU to have B evaluated for Aspbergers. Hopefully it'll give us even more leverage with the school to get him into a smaller classroom. Really, I'm sick of the phone calls from the school saying that he's having trouble in his regular classroom. All that "least restrictive environment" crap that they give that states they have to try to keep him in a regular classroom is really irking me. He does wonderfully when he's able to go to a resource room. This next week is gonna be a bear as he'll be 100% off meds for 3 days in order to be evaluated "as who he is" not the medicated B. Problem is that he gets violent when he's off meds or they do drastic changes to them. He stabbed his teacher with a pencil last time! The school is excusing him to stay home rather than deal with that situation again, so it's all on me. Maybe I should wear body armor this week.
I'm still looking for that day that everything is simple and "normal"....though with a transgender daughter, a son who is likely high functioning autistic, multiple business ventures, writing books, battling depression and chronic fatigue syndrome I'm not sure that day is ever gonna come. I need someone to watch my kids so I can just sleep sometimes...all day would be nice sometimes
I've got folks requesting chicks...not sure that I want to deal with chicks on top of everything else right now even though we need some fresh girls in our flock. Might look at an order to Meyer's next month. I could definitely incubate my own, but again it's just one more hassle right now. What to do...what to do... :/
I feel like I'm rambling but it's been a while since I gave a good update.

You are an inspiration to the rest of us. It is hard for me to fathom what you cope with on a daily basis. From this side it seems that you succeed at every thing you touch. Just reading your posts makes me believe that I too can accomplish the goals that I have for myself, my family and my little farm. Thank you for all you do.

Thank you!Just got my hard copy of Goat Notes. I approved it and it's going for distribution.
I highly recommend the eBook version here though since you can print as many or as few records pages as you want (plus it's cheaper by half).
I think I want to offer this hard copy to someone...maybe first person willing to cover the cost of the book plus shipping will get it personally autographed. What do you think? Or should I auction a personalized autographed copy so y'all can bid for it? Help me out here...I don't wanna sit on an extra copy that I don't need
It'll be available (unautographed) anywhere that books can be ordered in approximately 6 weeks, so this is an advance copy.I think I'm gonna delve into making gluten free pies (or fry pie style anyway). I've had so many requests for pies and I've got a good recipe so why not give it a go?
My computer area is becoming overrun with all the books that I'm dealing with for various ventures that allow me to stay home with my kids that I'm gonna have to build an office if it keeps up.
