Here's my dilemma.
Let's call it the douchebag dilemma.
I'm glad Wendy doesn't read the blog and I don't want the rest of you to lose your minds when I say what I'm about to say... K.
Wendy has asked 6 and I to consider letting her and the douchebag move into the little house.
The Dbag has a full time steady job now and has quit drinking.
Wendy has finished school and has found a job.
Now mind you as soon as I post this my phone is going to light up because 6 will be calling asking if I've lost my mind or if someone is making threats against the family.
Here's the way I see it though, there is so much that needs to be done here on the farm and 6 could really benefit from the help and the douche has promised Wendy he would be more than willing to help with whatever whenever.
So that could be a positive.
The only negative I can see is that I hate his guts.
So my question to you is, is my hating his guts my problem or his problem and do I owe him an opportunity to change the way I feel about him.
I don't know.
There's a really big part of me that wishes he would just meet a really nice girl that comes from piles of family money and he would move to the south of someplace else with her and then Wendy could cry her eyes out for a few days and then meet some other douchebag that I don't hate and they could live happily ever raising homing pigeons and competing in weekend fly ins for cash money and other pigeon related products.
In other news...
I love driving the big yellow bus!
I am still trying to figure out how to have enough time to take care of everything around here, feed and wash Wyatt, fix dinner, grocery shop, tend to the trailerpark people, do laundry and still find time to call my Mother everyday.
STILL no more lambs... WTF?
That ewe looks like she's going to pop, I don't know how much longer she can hold that little guy in there.
Todd is growing SO fast and Judy is without a doubt the cutest sheep on the farm. being half wooly and half hair she has a very different look about her and I think if we entered her in a cutest lamb in the world contest she would win for SURE!
K, I have to go now.
Peas.

See What I See!
Lots to do today so I'll just show you some more pictures.
These are from this morning when I was feeding and as you can see, everyone is happy to have a break from the rain!

Back to the Blog!
Can you believe it's been a month!
Oh. Em. Gee... Time really goes by in a hurry!
As most of you know, last month I was "hired" to drive school bus, but first I had to complete all the training both written and driving, and get my CDL before I could be officially hired and TODAY was the day I was officially hired!
I passed the last of my tests on saturday and today I went to sign all of my paperwork.
I can't believe it, who would have figured after being a nail lady all those years I'd end up behind the wheel of a big yellow bus :D
As usual, nothing was quiet around this place while I was doing my training.
We had a big almost freak windstorm blow through a week or so ago and it blew Betty right off her post in front of the little house.
She was gone for almost a week before Wyatt heard her down at the bottom of the front pasture on the other side of the fence.
Wyatt and I tried to get her back ourselves, but Wyatt ended up slipping and falling in the mud and hurting his knee pretty bad so we decided to wait until the next day when 6 came home and he and I were able to get her back on the right side of the fence and reunite her with the rest of the flock.
What a relief, I was so worried about her and didn't know rather peafowl were able to find their way home or not.
Apparently they are.

One of the ewes had a single lamb two weeks ago, a little ram lamb we named Todd.
He is super cute and doing really well, no bottles or sleeping on the kitchen floor for this guy.
I'm waiting patiently for the other ewe to lamb and I'm pretty sure she'll have twins.
I need to "tutor" Todd and see about trading off Dan since he's done his work here with our girls and I'll be looking to find a ram with some color for the next round.
Pansy, Wyatt's cat never came home.
We spent many sad days trying to find her, but never found a sign of her.
Astro was pretty lonely without her so a week or so ago we got online and found a little black, short haired, long eared, skinny tailed kitten.
He's the total opposite of Astro, but they bonded right away and he's been nothing but non-stop entertainment from the moment he came through the front door!
His name is Angus, but we call him the monkey because he swings his way around the house like he's part of the circus.

Wyatt is home on spring break this week and of course he's sick.
I don't know what it is with this kid but it seems like he's been a sicky all year.
Now it's allergies and his eyes are all swollen and itchy and he's coughing like an eighty year old chain smoker.
He's taking allergy pills and Mucinex and it seems to be working, but I sure will be glad when the winter crud season is over and the springtime pollen has past.
I need to get lunch ready now and then see if I can squeeze in some time to catch up on my reading.
Later Taters!

Checking In
This is just a quickie!
I miss keeping up with all my favorite blogs and I feel like a schmuck for not even keeping up on my own, so here's a quick rundown...
School Bus School is going really well and I really like it, I stand by what I said before, and that is that bus people are good people, and the more of them I meet the more of them I like!
There is tons of studying to do though and I feel like I haven't even come close to studying enough and so that has me in terrible school bus anxiety.
I don't really have a brain wired for reading retention, I am more wired to learn by doing but I do understand why I can't go out and learn all this on the job :]
Keep your fingers crossed for me on Friday when I take my CDL test.
We got our chicks last Saturday and they are so cute... Well, not all of them.
I saw this guy and knew I had to have himher.

I swear, have you ever seen anything like herhim???
Beautiful.
I think Wyatt has eczema.
I bought all the free detergents and I'm re-washing everything that touches his skin.
I also picked up some cortisone.
Anyone have any old family secrets for treating it?
I mean other than soaking him in turpentine or rolling him in mayo.
Keep it simple.
Ok, I have to go study and order Wendy delivered flowers because everybody knows delivered flowers are the best flowers on your
LAST DAY OF BEAUTY SCHOOL!
I am so proud of her.
Now if she'd just ditch the douche.
