Another Day....

Well we haven't been able to get refinanced...so once again the mortgage is due..at that wonderful high amount due to the huge APR.  Talk about living paycheck to paycheck!  Hubby brought home $159 last week.  He was out with kidney stones.   But I'm hopefull once again.  We've never NOT been able to make it.  Somehow, someway, something always comes thru.  We sell another goat, he gets a call to work on a lawnmower, or something always happens.  That tunnel is black...but I have to hope there is a light.  I post these things knowing there are others out there having problems too...all I have to say is it will get better.

It is just putting my trust and faith in someone else is the hard part...ya know?  I always seem to have to be in charge.  Hard letting go.

One bit of good news is we got hubby's father's trailer moved over here, so as soon as we can get it finished in I'm hoping to start boarding dogs and cats here while folks go on vacation.  I do petsitting now in folk's homes and have been in this area since 1992.  Now with the ability to board I'm hoping that my pet sitting business will increase dramatically.  And save me on gas without having to travel out four times daily to all my clients to see them!

We are planning a HUGE yard sale for a couple of weeks from now.  That will help.  We always do well.  Our junk is ALWAYS another man or woman's treasure.  And this time we are cleaning house, and shed, and garage, and attic.  All of it.  I'm tired of the junk, tired of the clutter, AND tired of the antiques! Can you believe it? So it is all going...as Dave Ramsey says...the kids will think they are next!

The geese are laying and now setting.  I hope to have Sebastapols in a few months for sale.  They are rare these days with most hatcheries rebuilding their stock.  We will also have Silky and Phoenix chicks, as well as bantam ducks.  No more baby goats til fall but we will be breeding in a couple of weeks to assure we have Sept. babies.  We also should have baby pot bellied piglets in a bit.  All of this to get my mind off the mortgage.

Somehow, someway....

Good night for now....
