It's almost over

I'm pretty sure I have SAD.  For those of you not knowing.. SAD=Seasonal Affective Disorder.  Now I'm not trying to make excuses but man I think this stuff is for real!  Sun=happiness, clouds=gloominess.  My whole persona depends on the weather a lot of times and darn it, I'm ready for spring!  We have been teased relentlessly on Springs' arrival and I am just ready for it.

I have been cooking a bit more lately so my kids aren't living off cold cereal and waffles lately.  No real ambition to try anything new as of yet.  Hopefully when our CSA from Spyglass Gardens starts up we will have more fresh goods to add in our diet.  We get to visit the farm in May and I think that is pretty neat.  I mean it doesn't get much closer to home than driving to the next town and seeing where your fruits and veggies are going to come from.  Now if only the meat situation were a little more convenient.

The Chickies are getting HUGE!  Its amazing how fast they grow.  I added 2 more little ones to the flock so now I have 7.  Reasoning behind this? I wanted 5 chickens.  We were suspecting 2 were roosters so Brent's co-worker agreed to take them a little later when they were a bit bigger but before they start to crow.  So in order to add the new "replacements" in when they are too old, I got 2 more babies.  Now I think one of the "boys" is still a girl.. sooo we are going to have to figure out who is going and who is staying.

These were taken about a week ago so they are actually a bit bigger now.  Yesterday Brent went and picked up the coop, and today he spent most of the afternoon getting the space ready and started putting it together.  He worked so hard out there while I finished up my homework assignments.  I know its been horrible with my homework taking up my weekends.. but its almost over. Only 2 more weeks and I regain my weekends to do with as I please.  just PLEASE let me make it out alive.  I don't care if I ever see another equation, logarithm or quadratic in my life after this.  I'm actually thinking of taking some general education courses next semester, even though I don't need them just to give myself a little break before finishing up the rest of my degree.  I have been going pretty hard for the last couple years and I'm feeling burned out.

So now, I have to figure out what color to paint the coop.  I have been trying to tackle little projects here and there and am hoping when classes are out I can get more accomplished.  As soon as its done, pics will be posted.  Oh..and I am an aunt again!!!! Congrats to my sister and her beautiful addition to the family.
