I'm tryin to figure out what to get for the goats but it depends on where we will live. If we move we want to build a proper barn with water and electric so that we aren't going back and forth to the house for stuff all the time. Chad wants to get one big water trough but I would rather get several smaller buckets or troughs to have in different places and then there's winter time when everything freezes so I am still trying to figure out what to do about that. If we stay here then we will need less fencing but if we move we'll need A LOT more. I just hate not being able to plan for anything. We are going to his dad's house Thursday and I'm not leaving until he gives me a definite answer. I'll sleep there if I have to. I'll be up his butt until he tells me yes or no and shows me paperwork.
I love my boots but I still like my hubby's better They are insulated and right now that is much better than my cold rubber boots!
Going to the bank today to deposit all the kid's christmas money and ours so it isn't in the house calling our names "spend me......"
Just finished the last load of christmas laundry, whew, glad that's done!
I would love to start planning my garden but I don't know where that will be either I'll have to start all over again if we move but the beds need to be mulched if we stay here but if we move then what's the point of doing it now.....and so on and so forth. Man this is frustrating!!!
Oh Lori, I can so relate to limbo land. It is not a fun place to be, but you can't let it control you!
We have been home owners (or mortgagees ) for 20 years. Now we have nothing.
We rent a very nice home and I have no business complaining but, even though we entertain fantasy's of buying this home (owner does want to sell eventually) it may or may not happen. So I live in limbo. It is hard because last year I went without my garden (only had a very small one) and this year I do not want to live like that so, I am going to just have to suck it up and do the work....even though I may have to leave it behind at some point.
Bottom line, is try not to think beyond enjoying this day or week....before you know it you will have it all worked out, you have a great opportunity awaiting and I hope it all pans out!
Trying to wind down after a busy day....the kids have driven me nuts today. It was sooooooo cold out today, I don't know the temp but when the kids don't want to go outside and play it's COLD. I had to make them go outside today when we got back from the post office. I bribed them with hot chocolate when they got back inside and finished their lunch. We only stayed out for about 20 minutes but it felt like and hour!
We still have snow on the ground and they are calling for a mix of rain/snow/sleet/freezing rain tomorrow. I have to go to the library tomorrow so it is going to be a long cold ride for the kids. If it gets too crazy out there we won't go but they haven't gotten new library books in a while.
I also wanted to try to go hunting tomorrow evening but that will depend on the weather. I know it is supposed to be in the 20s after dark so it might be a little uncomfortable. Chad is going goose hunting friday and he said that he will keep the kids while I go hunting in the evening to see if we can get one more deer in the freezer before the season ends. I would love to make some more jerky but I don't think I would do a whole deer again. I would like to put some more ground meat in the freezer. My BFF went hunting all day today and didn't see a thing. She was pretty disgusted with the whole day.
