I wish to sit down and write up a elaborate 5 on a Friday put up with fairly footage and useful hyperlinks however I simply don’t have it in me immediately. All is okay general, however we’re nonetheless adjusting to our fall schedule and whereas there are lots of features to it I actually like, I haven’t but discovered my rhythm for running a blog (or grocery buying or figuring out or being social). However it’s going to come! …or I’ll simply undergo this fall season like a bull rider, barely holding on however screaming wahoooo, as I’m decided to hold 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 believed we heard an childish try at a crow over the previous week, which led me down a rabbit gap and lengthy story brief, 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 will’t hold each Duck and Nugget. And David was proper; we should always have held off of naming them. We’re ready just a few weeks to make certain, however then will go about discovering good houses. Anybody in want of a candy, stunning 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 wish to follow rooster phrases, however regardless that it tires me out at instances, I’m hardwired to take care of others. That’s why I 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 absolutely take this on as my entire id, and I’m engaged on that. By extending my must take care of others to canine, chickens, and vegetation. Ha 
However I do know profitable mothering will imply my infants will develop, go away the nest, and thrive in their very own lives. There’s proof of that growth now as we get into the teenager years and it’s each unbelievable to look at them change into 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 almost certainly 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 greatest keep a hen.

Okay, rooster trauma efficiently shared. What else is occurring?
Weekend plans? Positive!
So immediately we’ve a neighborhood homeschool class on geology and a nature stroll. Did we luck out with an important 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 to separate as a result of they’re on the similar time which is a bummer. Then we’re whisking the youngsters away for the night time to go to the Virginia Tech sport, which needs to be a blast! And Sunday, properly, I’m actually hoping to do some meals prep to raised set me up for the subsequent week.
