FindingHome

More Drama.....

Nick left this morning to go see his dad out of state, he actually spent the night at my sister's house because he was driving with my brother in law. We already miss him alot.

We went to the lake yesterday and had a wonderful time. The lake is beautiful and the weather was nice. The kids had such fun swimming and playing. We are going to go again soon.

When we got home from the lake three of my goats were wandering my yard and had eaten some of my favorite bushes. I think they ate something that they shouldn't have because they didn't want to leave the barn this morning and two of them have diarrhea this morning. They stayed in their pasture all day and I checked on them and they were eating so I left them out there. Tonight I decided I should probably give them some Pepto or oil but they will not even let me near them and without my son I just gave up. It is the male and the mean female that I am convinced hate me , the other two adults would have let me get them.

When we went outside this evening we (Rebekah) found the wierdest thing, queen ants dead by the hundreds all around the outside of my house. I panicked and remembered that termites swarm so checked the internet and do not think they are termites but maybe carpenter ants. No where I searched mentioned them dead though. I can't cope with any more ants at this time, the fire ants have me so frustrated as is. I am posting some pics so let me know if you have ever seen this. Just for more info we did get a fierce storm last night but I know they were not here this morning.

So last night we got our long awaited rain in the form of a terrible thunderstorm. We never got thunder and lightning like this where I am from so it still freaks me out. My sister called me about midnight to tell me they were having a huge storm and I had just woken up from thunder (I think) and was trying to turn on my computer to get the weather. We were also in a severe thunderstorm warning and it was just starting. We had so much rain, wind, thunder, and lightening. Two of my daughters slept through it but three of the girls and I sat on the couch and were scared at each clap of thunder. I don't know if I will ever get used to those storms. We did get our much needed rain, the ground is still wet this evening. I hope it brings some green back over here. We have a chance for more rain tonight and even though I don't like the storms we need the rain.

We were exhausted after the lake yesterday so I didn't get much done today. I did some laundry and the girls did crafts all day. It was a nice day. I will write more soon.
