I want to give a shout out to those working mothers. People say a stay at home mom is the hardest job, and I am not here to say it isn't, but when you are working, it takes such an emotional toll on you, one I can't really explain.
With Fall approaching comes sickness. Natalie is one healthy kid, but last year she got sick in the Fall, and then again bad in January. Last week she started with diarrhea, and this week she may be coming down with something, or her allergies (thanks to her Mama!) are in full swing. Being away from her at work, constantly worrying, wishing I was with her, seriously sucks the life out of you. At least we are leaving for vacation Wednesday (providing the little one is ok) and I am so ready for some time with just the 3 of us, NOT at home so NO home responsibilities =) It's been a rough year and God knows we need this week away!
On the positive side, we are just soaking up this Fall weather. 70's and 80's weather with hardly rain. Seems like last fall it was really wet, this year it's beautiful. Our fall green beans are starting to produce, of course RIGHT when we are about to leave for a week so I don't know if we can get any canning in or not. I sure hope so! The chickens should start laying any day now and our goats seem healthy.
We went to our local Farm Fest on Sunday. There was a vendor that makes animal shelters that are all mobile. I wish we had some money put towards start up costs and this is something Kris could make (and he's good at) and could sell. Thoughts are swirling around in my head =) We recently sold our smaller chicken coop. We put $60 in to building it, a lot of material we already had. When we didn't need it anymore, we sold it on Craigslist for $200. Chicken coops and mobile animal shelters are becoming the thing.....hmmmmmmm ;-)
