I need to sit down and write up a elaborate 5 on a Friday publish with fairly footage and useful hyperlinks however I simply don’t have it in me in the present day. All is ok general, however we’re nonetheless adjusting to our fall schedule and whereas there are various points to it I actually like, I haven’t but discovered my rhythm for running a blog (or grocery buying or understanding or being social). However it would come! …or I’ll simply undergo this fall season like a bull rider, barely holding on however screaming wahoooo, as I’m decided to preserve calm and savor.
In different information, I cried yesterday. Over chickens. Roosters to be particular. Sure, that’s plural. The chicks are 12 weeks previous and David and I assumed we heard an childish try at a crow over the previous week, which led me down a rabbit gap and lengthy story quick, I’m pretty sure two of our pullets are literally cockerels.
That is fairly darn unhappy for me as a result of it means we are able to’t preserve each Duck and Nugget. And David was proper; we should always have held off of naming them. We’re ready a couple of weeks to make sure, however then will go about discovering good properties. Anybody in want of a candy, lovely rooster?
Maintain up, maintain up… I cried? Sure, sure I did. And as I used to be explaining it to David I tapped into some deeper psychological stuff like how the necessity to take care of issues is deep rooted in me. Name me a broody hen if we need to follow hen phrases, however despite the fact that it tires me out at occasions, I’m hardwired to take care of others. That’s why I really like being a spouse, a mother, a canine mother, and so forth. It’s why I most likely would have stored having extra infants for ever. I prefer to be wanted.
I do know I can’t totally take this on as my entire id, and I’m engaged on that. By extending my must take care of others to canines, chickens, and vegetation. Ha 
However I do know profitable mothering will imply my infants will develop, depart the nest, and thrive in their very own lives. There’s proof of that improvement now as we get into the teenager years and it’s each unimaginable to observe them turn out to be extra assured and impartial and bittersweet.
However again to the chickens. I’m hooked up. And realizing that two of the candy chicks we’ve been cuddling and caring for and loving on will probably be having to go away us makes me unhappy. So, tears. Please inform me you want a rooster.
Not the rooster. That is BFG, an Easter Egger that finest keep a hen.

Okay, hen trauma efficiently shared. What else is occurring?
Weekend plans? Positive!
So in the present day we’ve got a neighborhood homeschool class on geology and a nature stroll. Did we luck out with an ideal neighborhood or what? It additionally serves as social time for us mothers, which is very nice. Tomorrow the women have their first soccer video games of the season which is nice! However we’ve got to separate as a result of they’re on the identical time which is a bummer. Then we’re whisking the children away for the night time to go to the Virginia Tech sport, which must be a blast! And Sunday, nicely, I’m actually hoping to do some meals prep to raised set me up for the subsequent week.
