The phone ringing off the hook, A two by four sticking out of Isaac's hand and someone stealing  Malachi's crowned jewels, and Timothy was ran over by a tractor or at least that's what you would have thought by the blood curdling screams preamiating though out the house all at the same time! The truth of the matter was Isaac had gotten a sliver in the palm of his hand it was about 1/8 of an inch wide & 3/4 inch long. Painful but not life threatening. Malachi's cowboy rope(some orange baling twine he found at my friends house) was taken by Noah. Noah was running through the house from Malachi and crashed into Timothy. I sent Noah outside to FIND the puppy, I put a cold wet rag on Tim's head and popped in a veggietales video, I got the alcohol and tweezers and went into surgery. Isaac was a less than cooperative patient until I threatened to call Gordon (our Pastor/EMT/rancher. I have heard him preach, check-out injuries and and be up to his arm pits in a cow trying to pull a calf.) I just told Isaac you don't want Gordon down here I've seen the tools he uses! LOL He sat still enough for me to get it out. WHEW! Then we got ready to go to church. It was Wonderful Wednesday, the night we eat dinner at church. YEAH a break for me. I'm sure there was much more but as usual I waited to post so I have forgot most of it.

Still No calf, No piglets and No baby goats. We need to shore up some fence and build some pens. My chickens are slow laying anywhere from 3-8 eggs a day. I made them what I call "Mexican Buffet" I mix their layer crumble with hot water and cayhenne pepper. That usually gets em' going!

Today not so good day to be a mom. I had a phone call from the kindergarten teacher regarding Hannah. I would have expected the unsaid behavior from Noah but was SHOCKED at Hannah. I am one sad momma right now. Also had some problems in regards to Noah on the bus. Please pray for me as I try to make decision about home-schooling next year.

I am beat so I will go for now,

Blessings to all,
