Sally
As I just mentioned N loves for animals I think I have to write also about our new member of the family: Sally! Well Sally is a garden snail! At the minute she lives in the old fishtank in N's room upstairs. Last year we had 6 snails in the end as N was on a rescue mission, so I wait and see how many he can talk me into this year!!??
I can't sleep!!!
If you ask yourself why I am blogging at 12:04 PM(!) at night I cannot give you the answer.... I am tiered no doubt but my head is spinning again. This time I am busy thinking about making our own sausages. Yes you heard right! I even was thinking about curing our own bacon. I kind of mention to other half about buying a smoker for the little price of £230. Netherless to say he refused. Did I mention I don't even eat bacon...I am truly loosing my marbles.
No I am not, but again I am thinking a lot about the way we eat and espically what we eat. At times it feels like we don't eat well enough - more often than I like I have cooked pasta for the children with grated cheese on top. Don't get me wrong it's not rubbish as most of it is organic but somehow something is missing. To get back to the pasta well said children are very hard to please at the minute as there taste are so different it drives me crazy. My little E will at the minute eat nothing apart from cheese, yoghurt, a little bit pasta and of course her all favourite baked beans. She is like her dad as if I would let him he would have a can of baked beans each night with his dinner. Don't get me wrong I don't mind them but every day - no way! I am tearing my hear out as her brother on the other hand will not touch baked beans at all. I am not sure if its because there is tomatoes in them or because he was constipated with them at tender age of 1.5 year and screamed for hours in the night till we took him to the A&E. Poor thing I never will forget how the nurse told me it was not an emergency as I should calm him down and see the doctor in the morning. Oh believe me she could have gone through the phone I would...But no she had the bloody cheeck to ask me to pass the phone over to other half as I was not calm enough to talk to her!!!
Well anyway I am loosing track; said older child will not touch anything with tomatoes in it so cooking for the four of us makes it very hard at the minute. He will happily eat potatoes and carrots like they would go out of fashion but meat and tomatoes no chance. I actually have the feeling he will be a vegetarian one day as his love for animals is so big. He got in a bit of a temper today with his dad for eating a bit of pork. Well other half should respect little ones feelings and not offer him pork and tell him it's from a pig. Well thats family life for you.

Me - the handy man mama!!!
Finished off another 2 panels for our chicken walk in run. Not bad, isn't it? So far I have managed 6 panels; just another 6 to go....
I really hope Rosie, Daisy and Chocolade will like their new home once I have finished and painted the run. I also plan to get them one of these fancy eglus - well if I ever save enough.
I am not sure if I will get the right colour - I have this vision of palemintgreen in my head. Hmmm we will see....

Spinning
At the minute my head is spinning with so many thoughts - I find it hard to digested any of them. Every time I am thinking yes, done it - I can be sure another question will pop up in my head.
Last night I was lying awake in bed and I cannot even remember all the thoughts that went through my head but it kept me awake and awake. I feel like we have come off our path. I wanted to grow our own veg this year and so far all I have done is bougth the seeds. I had great visions of carrots, onions, salat, tomatoes and 0f course runner beans!
If I am lucky I will manage to get some salat growing but at the minute I feel rather depressed about it. I know some might think don't worry there will be always next year but for me it lead me to another question:WHY?
Why do I not get the things down I have planned? Is it the children? Am I not focused enough?
To be honest I don't know.....I truly don't know.

Finally!!
Well , finally my first post. I set up the blog a long time ago but never really got around to write or post anything. Sometimes the lack of time or just being tiered after a long day with my children and my furry "babies".
So what can I write about myself. Not much as my life is pretty boring most of the times but I am happy with it so it can't be that wrong!
Well certain furry "babies" are driving me nuts at the minute as there is always someone that wants to be fed or watered or be let out. Or even if they all are sleeping and contened there is still the tidying up after them. Lately I notice its always me who does tidies up after them!
Well this entry was not really ment to be about tidying up after my animals but I am very new to the blogging so bear with me untill I will find my feet and post about more important things.
