Hilarious Cousin

Scott told me to check out my Aunt Robin's facebook update, there was a video there starring my cousin Jen and her cousin Gina.  HILARIOUS....check it for yourself.  For those of you who don't know Jen, she is the one in glasses.

So Tired...

We had HD in the Emergency Room from 1:30-3:45 this morning. Yesterday morning he complained of a sore throat which progressively got worse and turned into a bad cough over the course of the late night. He woke up screaming at about 11:45.

He has this horrible cough, sore throat, and was complaining of not being able to breathe (lungs and nose). ER doc said there is a huge polyp in the nose (great, thanks allergies) and that there was a different sound to one lung versus the other. They x-rayed his chest just to be sure that he was not in the beginning stages of pneumonia and gave him a breathing treatment. The breathing treatment seemed to help, but we have had a ROUGH night/morning. We are working on little to no sleep. UGH...Man I didn't realize how much I don't miss the asthma nights.

Send healthy thoughts H's way.

Last Day of School!

HD and Lena went outside this afternoon for a little last day of school/birthday celebration. Lena turned 1 year old yesterday. Everyday we learn more about this silly girl and she is maturing into a sweet dog.

HD and Lena ran through the sprinkler to cool off.



Now HD is coming down with a cold. Cough, runny nose, tickle in the throat. DANG IT!!! Hope for the Viamin C Immune Support Gummy Bears and Centrum Kids and Homeopathic cough syrup to start working! SHEESH.

Goodbye Roo...

Today was the day that we took Blanche aka Bernard aka Buddy aka Nugget back to Jenny the Chicken Lady. We traded a black australorp roo for a black australorp hen. So...we have Blanche again.

Here was H.D.'s goodbye to Buddy.

Kick Ass

I love this song...see what you think of Mika.



Lyrics surprisingly clean!

Chorus:
We are young
We are strong
We're not looking for where we belong

We're not cool
We are free
And we're running with blood on our knees

We could rule the world
On a silver platter
From the wrong to the right light
To an open stream

With a crash and burn
We could make it better
Turn it upside down
Just you and me

We are the dream
No other way
To be

Chorus

I could change the world
I could make it better
Kick it up and down
Take a chance on me

When you fake a smile
And you think you're better
Gonna put it down
Rip it at your feet

No bridge to burn
Nowhere to turn
For me

Chorus

What do they know about us?
Are they thinking of somebody else?
Are they wondering what we might be?
Are they thinking of you or of me?

Chorus

Tuesday Nonsense

This post should probably be called Monday shenanigans and other nonsense.

Yesterday I took Sophia the Chicken to visit the 4th graders at Loveland. She traveled so well in her little pet porter that I told my mother, aka Oma, on the phone that I should reconsider my traveling companions...Sophie the Chicken, #1 traveling girl! The 4th graders loved her, HD beamed and was very informative, a great day was had by all. I finished off the afternoon/evening watching the "girls" (I used quotes because remember Blanche is not really Blanche anymore) in the yard sun and dust bathing. I planted in the garden and weeded a bit and longed for early summer mornings and evenings to come.

Today, I sit at my desk trying to get motivated to grade the remaining freshmen papers I have waiting, but all I can do is think about how much I want to be sitting in my lawn chair in the sun watching the "girls" play in the yard, eat blades of grass, chase bugs and participate in other chicken silliness, putter in the garden, or read a book under my tree.

Hurry up May 28th...

Boo Hoo, a Roo.

We found out that Blanche is really Bernard. And we thought Bernard was a Barred-Rock, as it turns out he was a double surprise. A Roo and a Black Australorp.

We will be taking him back to Chicken Jenny's (our chick supplier) and exchanging him for a her.

Here is an update on the "girls" though. Let's pray no one else starts looking masculine.
We have all the lumber, and now we just need to put that chicken ark together.

*prays to the gods of carpentry* Please look over my measurements (don't laugh family) and please watch over my fingers!!!
