Barefoot, pregnant and chasing a fox with a shotgun... Oh my!

If it's not - it should be. Somehow we'd have to work in picking berries with a gun strapped on your hip too, LOL! Probably be a #1 hit and we can all get rich!

 

[NH Homesteader]

Yes! I love it!

Hmmm.....you'd have to add in slaughtering hogs and mention Walmart somewhere in there.

 

[NH Homesteader]

Hmm I do have some hogs to slaughter. My daughter wants us to build her a treehouse/deer blind so she can be a princess deer hunter. There's gotta be room in the song for that!

So DH was told today he has to get that building torn down tomorrow or it's going in a dumpster. Dude's being shady. So DH is going to be there at 5:30 with the truck and trailer and the dude tearing it down will load the trailer for him. I won't stop being anxious until the thing is in my yard. Hopefully it will only take a half day.

Having family drama with alcoholic MIL right now. I want to move away from my in laws. Sigh.

I hate family drama. Thankfully, my family is pretty boring. I have a wacko cousin, but everybody stopped having anything to do with her years ago. Having an alcoholic family drama only makes it worse. So when are you moving?

 

[NH Homesteader]

Omg soon! No I have no idea. I don't totally want to leave this area until after baby is born, unless something pops up to make it happen quickly and easily. I'm sure TN has good hospitals but New England has amazing hospitals and I like my midwives, etc. Well, some of them (some are a little too "crunchy" for me).

My sisters in law are co-dependent and seem to think we should coddle MIL. They literally bring her alcohol when they visit and act like life is normal. Yes 4 dwi's is normal. Drinking 30 beers a day (back in the day) is normal. Right. They hate me. I am getting better at not caring. They however do believe that babies belong to everyone and are going to be a NIGHTMARE when we announce that we are having another.

 

[baymule]

Sounds like the kind of family one likes to be from--a LONG way from.
4 DWI's? I hope she no longer drinks and drives.

Family drama sucks- seems to be the week for it!

So, to lighten the mood I wrote you a song!

I already sent a copy to Blake Shelton and he can't wait to record it - so nobody get no ideas about stealing it, lol!


Went to Walmart for ammo for my 40 cal,
Need it to scare off a 4-legged pal,

He's hairy and mean and he scares me real bad,
He eats all my berries and that makes me mad!

When I'm done with the bear I'll go after the fox,
Instead of the hen house he'll live in a box,

Dead bear, dead fox I'll kill them right now
No time for their foolishness - gotta go feed the sow

I got a bun in the oven and no time for this $hit
Gotta go vomit - be back in a bit!

 

[NH Homesteader]

I'm dying here!

 

[NH Homesteader]

Well, she did have one of those breathalyzer things she had to use... But not anymore. She was here at 7 pm yesterday... Doubt she had been sober all day but maybe. I can't always tell because she's pretty brain fried from all those years of drinking.
