Journal Entry...

Not another step nearer! *And let me tell you, she can pack a punch! *

...yah, I know, I should be posting more often. Sorry about that my friends, but perhaps I can make up by telling ya'll what I've been up too!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yesterday was a very busy day...music lessons(5 all-in-all)first, and then a fairly restful afternoon later on. THEN...I went to do chores. Now, any of ya'll who have seen our barn know that it's NOT made for a lot of animals. You know, like what we have. :D It's actually a horse barn, with 3 stalls and a HUGE aisle right down the barn. So, little, and awkward. :D
When I came in, there was a big wheelbarrow full of cow manure right smack-dab in the way, so I proceeded to pull it out and empty it. Actually... I TRIED. The ancient thing only can be pulled as general rule, Rarely agreeing to being pushing like a obedient wheelbarrow, and it weighed aprox. as much as I did...complication #2. So...that took a while, and then I cleaned out the milking stall, which really did need it. Complication #3 came when I decided to start hauling water buckets...not a big job, but I got water down my boots... So THEN I milked. :P You may imagine I was a bit tired that evening!

typical day in my house
Toaster pops up

Momma: Well, the rugs are clean, so don't go bleeding all over them.

Yeah momma, love you too!

We've got a bunch of sweet little lambs now...see how cute!



Oh and folks...now you read this, you've gotta leave me a comment. :D Haven't heard from a few of you in a while. :P

A Early Happy Valentines Day!

Are you a Democrat, a Republican, or a Southerner?

Borrowed from Nathaniel Brayden...this was WAY to good not to post! :-)

The answer can be found by answering the following question:
You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children.
Suddenly, an Islamic Terrorist with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, praises Allah, raises the knife, and charges at you. You are carrying a Glock .40 caliber, and you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family.
What do you do?

Republican's Answer:
BANG!
Democrat's Answer:
Well, that's not enough information to answer the question!
Does the man look poor or oppressed?
Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack?
Could we run away?
What does my wife think?
What about the kids?
Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand?
What does the law say about this situation?
Does the Glock have appropriate safety built into it?
Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does this send to society and to my children?
Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me?
Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to wound me?
If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me?
Should I call 9-1-1?
Why is this street so deserted?
We need to raise taxes, have paint and weed day and make this happier, healthier street that would discourage such behavior.
This is all so confusing! I need to debate this with some friends for a few days and try to come to a consensus.
Southerner's Answer:

Daughter: "Nice pattern Daddy! Were those the Silver Tips, black talons, or them new Hollow Points?"
Son: "Can I shoot the next one Daddy?"
Wife: "You ain't takin' THAT to no Taxidermist!"
