OVERWHELMED????
That is how I am feeling at the present. It seems like there is so much to do and so little time and money and I feel like like my life is spinning out of control SLOWLY. Don't get me wrong, life is good it is just confusing, hectic and overwhelming.
I need to figure out what I want to do with all of my chickens and then do it. Dusty the Blue Orpington Roo is beautiful and interested in his girls and very mean. Like out of control onery. I am the only one that can go in there and he always attacks me. He hasn't hurt me yet but my boot has hurt him a time or two. I had all these plans to keep our chicken breed seperate but all the chicken areas take a lot of time to keep clean. Currently I have Speckled Sussexes, Barred Rocks, Blue Orpingtons, Americaunas and then the laying pen. It seemed like such a good idea but now....
My house needs a deep cleaning, it is not cluttered but the floors need vacuumed and mopped and it needs dusted. Laundry is never done and while I love the clothes line, I never remember to take the clothes done before darkness sets in. Then each morning I have yesterday's clean clothes and then that day's washing also.
Mariah's room is a nightmare, like I have never seen such a mess in my life, I am actually afraid to set foot in there. This is my problem because I am going to help her clean it and get rid of alot of stuff.
Emmy is having a hell of a time right now. She is either crying or pounding on the same toy over and over. I feel like I am slowly losing her right back like I was four years ago. We fought so hard then and we will fight now to bring her out of this place wherever it is that she retreats to.I am petrified of what will happen when school is over for the year for her. With all the projects here it is overwhelming to try to work on all her skills.
The garden is looking beautiful and I have my two customers for weekly deliveries. I have duck eggs coming out of my ears, need to sell some of them.
It just seems like life is completely crazy around here and yes it is all my doing.

sorry sweetie, just remember there is a season for everything, when Emmy is home all day for the summer, the other kids wont be in school, and the majority of the garden work will be done. So it will all balance!
Your house is CLEAN ENOUGH! Seriously! Love you!
Amanda I wanted to pay you a return blog visit and thank you for taking the time to leave a comment.
I feel overwhelmed often, and my kids are grown and on their own! I think though, that circumstances can be overwhelming is spite of us. Sometimes life is a test of character, not necessarily cause and effect.
I was interested about your chickens. I have four breeds too, and at one time thought we'd try to keep roosters for two of them, but just don't have the time to get a second chicken pen and yard set up. Specked Sussexes is a breed I was interested in, but four was a many as I could manage!
It's easy to get overwhelmed. I do sometimes as well but then I look around and realize I wouldn't trade my life for the world. :-)
We have an accidental RIR rooster we decided to keep who is 9 weeks old right now. So far he's playing nice but only time will tell if he becomes a candidate for a new home. We love having him around (he's such a goofball) but I don't want to spend the next 10 years separating him from my hens or people if he can't behave!
Hope today is better and less overwhelming :-)
