Almost Self-Reliant
Thanks everyone. Yup he is a good hearted guy. He does try to make my life easier, because he knows hubby doesnt have much to do with the animal aspect of the farm. 
Come to think of it, he doesnt have anything to do with the garden part either. :/
BUT, he DOES support my "habit" of wanting to be SS and provides me with the support I need.
Today I went to the barn early, and finished the second stall. This one is by the new door, so when I unload the truck, I can close the gate, and keep the sheep in....and not have to lock them out of the barn completely. Hubby had to go to Ohio, and take BIL home, and deliver our old couch and chair to his sister. SO GLAD to have that out of the garage! After they left I went to the Turkey yard, and finished putting netting over it. The babies will be flying soon...so better safe than sorry. I lost one in the last bunch, it flew out, and into the Barred Rock pen....needless to say, the BR DONT like turkey pullets...it didnt survive. Came inside after I finished that...drank a few glasses of water, then headed back out to construct a "playpen" for my other turkey poults. I have 7 more for sale and needed to get them in an outside pen. Almost finished...but I need more netting for the top. That will have to waite until tomorrow....hubby has my truck, and I will NOT drive his unless its an emergency. Its an old rustbucket, and I can barely reach the peddals. 
OH, I got word from my Oldest son in OKC, he will be sending his 3 boys here for a few days with my other son...who is coming to round up a few legal issues. They will be staying here for 3 days.
I havent seen my grandsons in almost 5 years!!! They are 9,7, and 5. I am sooo excited!!! My son who is bringing them will be bringing his 3 yr old son as well...I havent seen him in just over a year. 4 of my 5 grandsons will be here....for 3 days!! 
They will be here Monday morning, so I wont be back on for a few days...I wont miss ONE MINUTE with these boys. I was talking to the oldest grandson...and when he got off the phone, he told his mom..." Grandma REALLY wants us to come visit her" When his mom t6old him the plan..he said..." We have a LOT of catching up to do" 
I might just have to steal that one! I was telling the 7 yr old on the phone...I got piggies..he said. " Thats nice" 
Then I told him about the sheep and he said " thats nice as well" When I was talking to the youngest...he said..." grandma, I been playing, thats what kids do you know, its a lot of fun" I can't waite to get them here.

That is the next step in this life, isn't it? Getting to be a grandma! I so hope I measure up when it comes my turn....I'm not much of the baking cookies kind of granny, you know?
They sure make a woman feel OLD!! 
Yup, the water works started. I woke this morning to a pile of empty blankets waiting to be washed...and empty pillows. 
Guess our weekends are pretty much lined up, as to what we will be doing! LOL
What a blessing to be getting all that wood - and already cut! Have a grand day!
