It’s Tuesday… isn’t it??? 🤷🏻♀️
Strap in, it’s story time!!!!!📖
Y’all I’m already done for the day. Lemme set the tone for y’all…..📣
Paid Jamie is earnings for his work last week. 💵We pay him a dollar a day for opening the chicken coops, a dollar for bringing the trash can up from the road, and anything “extra” he does. He got paid $10 last week for everything he did. He’s a big helper with Jack and cleaning his bedroom after Jack destroys it. So I LITERALLY just got done telling him about how awesome he did last week.
Fast forward ⏩ I go to feed the animals…….
Me thinking 💭 holy hell there are a lot of chickens out here.. hmm 🤔 whatever… *goes on about getting feed together*
I walk to the Jersey Giant and turkey coop and ENCLOSED run.. 🐔🦃
Instant panic——the gate has fallen down,,,,total panic. How in Gods name am I going to get all of these birds back in the run. Poured feed, nope they stood on the outside looking at me. I managed to round them all up and get them in. They are not the brightest of the bunch-THATS FOR SURE. 🧠🧐
I look across the pasture towards the big barn——that’s a piglet, and another, and another. 🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️ now in their defense——they will come for feed.
Continued on with my chicken chores.
Get to the pig, goat, duck region on the property. 🐷🐐🦆All 6 piglets were out and Big Mama was NOT HAPPY. I opened the gate for Big Mama to charge my 🍑 and then she decided to take her children on a tour of the property. I told her to keep a better watch on her children’s and this wouldn’t happen. I managed to get everyone in their homes and fed.
I walked back to the house in a trance. Then every chicken that has black coloring looked like one of the Jerseys! Farming is so much fun!! 😂
Upon entering my domicile, Jamie and I had a conversation about the chickens…
Me- Jamie did the Jerseys gate fall down when you were out there?
Jamie-oh yea. I didn’t think it’d be that long and they wouldn’t get out.
Me-🤦🏻♀️ Jamie you have to tell me these things when they happen.
Jamie-ok
Me-next time pick the gate up and lean it against it.
Jamie-what’s lean mean?
Me-🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ (f me) *used prop to show him what I meant*
Jamie-ohhhhh okay mom! You look so pretty today…
Yall, I just put these days to memory so I can remind him when he has his own children. I just laugh and know these times are short lived and he’s only 7.
If you’ve stayed to read all of this, give me a funny story about your kids. Please! This mama needs some comedy!
God is in the midst of her;
She shall not be moved;
God will help her when morning dawns.
