Oh my gawd... I have had the worst reaction to one of my medications today. I'm supposed to take Neurontin for my headaches three times a day, but when our insurance ran out I cut back to once a day because it is SO expensive. Now that we have insurance again I decided I better work my way back up to my regular dosage. This morning I got up, took my pill, made my latte, read my email, lost me equilibrium, almost fell off my chair onto the floor, crawled to my bed on what felt like the ceiling, closed my eyes and hung on for the next four hours. I hate it when that happens.
Then, if that wasn't bad enough as I'm laying there holding on for dear life, Bart and Buddy run in the bedroom, Bart jumps up on the bed and is covered tip to tail in cow sh!t. I guess it's a good thing he loves water because I had to hose him down for at least five minutes. I was on my knees, hanging on to the hose spigot trying not to fall over washing the dog with my eyes closed.
Anyway, I'm feeling a bit better now, but I still have to close my eyes to turn my head and I'm pretty sick to my stomach. Sooo... I think I'm going back to bed now. See ya tomorrow.

Just Stuff
Ahhh... A beautiful day to mow the lawn. Not really. Is there ever really a good day to mow the lawn? I thought not. After I'm done with the lawn I get to vacuum and it seems like I have almost as much carpet as I do grass, except vacuuming means having to clean the stupid thing (vacuum) out too. Gag. I think that's the only downfall of dogs, and springtime is the worst. I really want hard wood floors... No wait, I want concrete floors that I can use a leaf blower to clean. That would be SO great! I think you could paint it to have some really cool looking finish and use a leaf blower to sweep and a pressure washer to mop. OMG, I think I'm on to something! Picture me wearing safety goggles and ear protectors cleaning the house...
American Idol... This is what I think, Casey for sure goes home tonight. I think Lee is on fire, I mean smokin! And, I think he has a good chance of pulling ahead of Dreads, which up until last night I didn't think he could do. I thought Dreads was in it to win it and would leave everyone else in the dust. Now I'm not so sure.
General Hospital is so dumb now I can't even watch it. It is nothing but stupid stress and I have enough of that going on. They don't even have a good story line. How dumb.
Ok, I can't think of anything else so now blogging has turned into procrastination...
Ummm... I got two really cute bras at the fat lady store last week! One is black and one is kind of a beigy taupey tan. If you ask me, there's nothing better than a new bra. Well, maybe maple bars. It's a toss up. Maple bars or new bras? I guess if you eat too many maple bars you have to get new bra's because you get to big for the bras you have, so really you can have your cake and eat it to. Or in this case it would be maple bars and bras. How would you say that? You can have your maple bars and bras too. No, that's not right. How about, You can wear you new maple bars and eat them too. No, still not right.Ummm, You can eat you bras and wear you bars. No, now I'm just getting confused.Oh well, you know what I'm getting at... Eat more bars get more bras!
After the whole bra thing I'm not even going to start on my new glasses. I'll just say this... I'm taking them back to have the stupid bifocals taken out. I've felt drunk all week and I walk around with my hands out in front of me and take super high steps because I feel like I'm falling off a log. I even talk like a stooge when I wear them, because I feel like I have to balance. I'm at the grocery store and the lady say's"would you like cash back" and I have to focus my eyes, take a deep breath, balance and say "uhhhh... no....thankyou"How dumb. I'm taking them back.

We Have Water!
The continuing saga of the outside pond water has come to a happy ending! Last year during the freeze we shut down the pump to the pond that supplies all the outside water for the farm and the mobile spaces. The plan was to turn it back on in the spring after the fear of another freeze was gone but in plenty of time for everyone to start watering their gardens. 6 disconnected the pump at the wire box thingy so nobody would slink into the barn and flip the switch to get water until the all the lines checked out and we repaired all of our leaky outdoor faucets. Of course I don't have to tell you what happened next... As soon as 6 left for Iraq the know it all "Assh@le" in the mobile spaces went in to hook it up and screwed up all the wires and almost burned out the pump. So, the pump guys have been here two days in a row fixing everything and now we have water again. I'm not telling anyone in the mobile spaces until the first of June though. I can be spiteful like that.
Wyatt seems to be improving every day no thanks to any of the doctors and even starting to walk a little without his crutches. He walked up AND down the stairs yesterday, squeeling, but all on his own. He is taking 250mg of Neurontin three times a day and 500 mg of Naproxen twice a day with fish oil thrown in three times a day just to keep his joints good and greasy. He really wants to be able to go back to school and walk with his class for his fifth grade graduation, and I'll do whatever it takes to make that happen.
Wendy was out yesterday and cut my hair!! It's beautiful, and she has so much confidence, you would never know she was still in school. I guess growing up in the "business" has really paid off, she has the ease and chatter of an old school hairdresser. I would love it if someday she opened up and wash and set salon and spent her days doing blue rinses and comb outs. Wouldn't that be great! She could serve weak coffee and dish the best gossip in town. Maybe I need to talk to her about this...
Thats all for today, tune in tomorrow for another episode of Fat Bottoms On The Farm!

Hair and Nails
Wendy is home today! She is going to give me a haircut, the first one in two years... Can anyone who knows me even believe I haven't had a haircut in two years or that I have had my natural hair color for almost FIVE years! Amazing. For anyone who doesn't know me, I started bleaching my hair platinum blond when I was about thirteen and usually had a chin length bob with crazy hot roller curls. Very cute. Throw in some red lipstick and thick black liquid eyeliner and that explains how I got all those husbands! Now it's long brown hair with grey streaks held back in clip and chicken poop on my lips. Seriously, chicken poop ~click~.
Ok, Wendy and I are going to attempt to trim Coconuts nails. Wish us luck, and if there's any blood shed (ours) I'll post some pictures, and I'll post some pictures of the before and after hair affair too.

Some Bunny To Love
We got our new gently used bunny Coconut today!! She came with a nice hutch, a huge bag of feed and all of her other worldly bunny belongings. The little girl who had her was allergic so they had to re-home her. The rabbit not the little girl...
And here's a picture of Carlos ♥
Pretty cute huh.

Beautiful Day
The sun is out again today which means I don't have the excuse to stay inside and eat bon bons... Oh well, fresh air and hard work never killed anybody. I don't think.
I need to go into town and pick up feed for the menagerie and groceries for us, swing by the bank, make a farm deposit and a bunny money withdrawal. We found a bunny, hutch included to be a friend for Carlos on Craigslist, and you know what they say, every bunny needs some bunny. Then I need to stop for some mower gas and start the never ending job of mowing the grass. Maybe I should invest in a troop of bunnies and let them do all the work.
Wyatt is outside this morning but hurting pretty bad. He is taking Neurontin again three times a day and I'm crossing my fingers it helps.
I haven't seen or heard the calves yet this morning, I hope we weren't hit up by a marauding gang of cow rustlers during the night.

Another New Blog...
I decided to take the leap to WordPress and I am SO glad I did! The format is so much better than Blogger, I wish I would have made the change a long time ago. Now I kind of feel bad for encouraging everyone to start a blog on Blogger.
Nothing has changed much with Wyatt. They discovered that he has limited blood supply to his right foot, but not sure why. I am waiting to get a phone call from scheduling with a new pediatric orthopedic.
We have five new calves in the lower pasture and they are so fun to watch. They make SO much noise, which I love, because I can't stand the neighbors and anything that could possibly irritate them is music to my ears.
Ok, it's taken me over an hour to write this much, I'm going to bed.
Ciao'
