Life on the Funny Farm

Farm Friday: One Month Update

noreply@blogger.com (Anne Kimball) — Fri, 24 May 2013 08:30:00 +0000

The kitties are one month old already!

SO cute.

Playful.
Curious.
Love muffins.

I could squeeze 'em all day long, but nobody's about to pay me for that, so I still have to trudge off to work.

Here. I wrapped you up a little cuteness to go.

A New Shejhule...

noreply@blogger.com (Anne Kimball) — Mon, 20 May 2013 08:30:00 +0000

Sigh...

Heavier sigh....

The time has come to make some changes.

I had hoped when I started back to work that I wouldn't have to give up any of the time I give to writing, but that isn't working out so well.

If it was just finding some time to actually "write" I don't think it would be as much of an issue. But what I need is time to write stuff, time to submit, time for blogging and sharing and linking and engaging and tweeting and all those other things that make up the social media landscape that is so integral to developing a platform nowadays.

And all those pesky children and pets of mine still expect me to feed them and stuff.

There is just no longer the time in the day to get it all done.

Or so my blood pressure has been telling me.

So I've had a talk with myself, and we have decided it's time to cut back a bit. Starting with this-here blog.

I'll still blog, it just won't be seven days a week any longer. Who posts seven days a week anyways? Just crazy me.

Let it go, woman, let it go....

Here's my new schedule:

Monday: Off
Tuesday: Tuesday Archive Link-Up blog hop
Wednesday: Wordless Wednesday
Thursday: Off
Friday: Farm Friday
Saturday: Sometimes guest posts, sometimes odds and ends
Sunday: Something family/life-related

Letting go can be hard, but I know it's a change I have to make.

Here's hoping it's a change my readers and I can all live with!

And thanks for being the awesomely devoted amazing readers that you are!

Love you all.
XOXOXO

Farm Friday: Grumble.

noreply@blogger.com (Anne Kimball) — Fri, 17 May 2013 08:30:00 +0000

Bleh!
Whine.
Grumble....

I had a post all written up with the kitten update. And I had pictures, but now I can't find the stinkin' memory card.
No memory card, no pictures.

And I canNOT bring myself to post a kitten update without showing you their toxic levels of adorableness. Can't be done.

So I'll try to post that tomorrow or something, and in the meantime I bring you some choice rehash of farm-like material.

Hope you don't mind too terribly.

So a good friend of mine is putting her house on the market because she wants a place in the country where she can keep her critters out in the open, and not hidden away in a secret chamber like Anne Frank.

The realtor came by to appraise her house and saw chickens in the garage.
Told her they must go.
She has some notion that potential buyers might not want to look any further once they saw chickens in the house. Sheesh.

So anyway, needless to say, I am now chicken-sitting said poultry. I took receipt of them a couple days ago, and felt like I was part of the underground-railroad.

We quickly got them settled into the Henhouse with the others.

Others being my 13 layers, 10 meat-bird chicks, and 6 layer-breed cockarels that I had heretofore described as styrofoam packing peanuts.

We oriented them to the feed and water, and sat back chattin' like the overall-wearin', hay-chewin' farmgals that we are, and watched the hens get acquainted with their new digs.

To no one's surprise, a fight broke out between one of the newcomers and one of my Wyandottes.

Me: Do you think we should break it up?
T: No, let's see if they can resolve this on their own.
(we're mothers first, chicken stewards second)

And we watched them fly at each other, puff up, peck at each other's wattles and combs, and cuss at each other.

At one point, in the thick of their squabble, they both stopped and turned to look off in a corner, with one neck twisted under the other and talons outstretched mid-strike.

Me: They need a thought-bubble above them that says, "I'm gonna rip you limb-from...Look! A squirrel!"
T: I think our chickens have ADHD.

How To Have the Best Mother's Day Ever....

noreply@blogger.com (Anne Kimball) — Thu, 16 May 2013 08:30:00 +0000

It's really very simple.

Just do a rain dance.

See, that way all the grass fields will get all sopping wet.

If the fields are sopping wet, soccer games will be cancelled.

If soccer games are cancelled, your big boys' job setting up the soccer fields for the rec teams will be cancelled.

Your daughter's travel team game will be rescheduled to be played on the turf field, but most of the girls won't be able to make the new time b/c of Mother's Day commitments, so the game will be cancelled.

You will then find yourself with almost more time than you know what to do with, where originally you were scheduled to be running dawn to dusk with kids' activities.

So there you have it.

A rain dance.

You're welcome.

Wordless Wednesday

noreply@blogger.com (Anne Kimball) — Wed, 15 May 2013 08:30:00 +0000

The day has come.

Sad but true.

I am not posting my usual for today. I had some pretty pictures of the wisteria on my silo that I was going to share. However, our internet is kaput at the moment. We can get it on one device, but it has no port for my camera's memory card. So Fred said I could go put my memory card in another computer, put the pictures on a jump drive, then put the jump drive in this computer and get the pictures just as easy as you please.

But see, that would entail me getting up out of bed and walking into another room and finding a dadgum jump drive and other assorted and boring and confusing steps, so I just stared blankly at him. I might have drooled a little (like mental-patient drooling, not jonesing-for-chocolate drooling).

So my most sincere apologies are being offered up for not showing you pretty wisteria at dawn pictures. Another time.

I hope we're still friends?

noreply@blogger.com (Anne Kimball) — Sat, 11 May 2013 08:30:00 +0000

Becuase I'm a glutton for punishment and like to make myself cry, every now and again I like to re-post the poem James wrote for me for Mother's Day in 2011.

It goes a little something like this:

When I First Saw You

Sniff.

Farm Friday: Kitten Update

noreply@blogger.com (Anne Kimball) — Fri, 10 May 2013 08:30:00 +0000

Geeze Louise they're growing fast.

Holy cow.

And cute?

Please.

They're starting to walk now, as opposed to belly crawling.

You know, that funny brand-new-legs walk that kittens do, one foot at a time, tail pointed straight out behind them, shaking like a junkie.

They're also beginning to groom themselves and even to play a bit.

Also? They're starting to develop personalities. Well, kittenalities, I suppose, if you want to get all technical on me.

Eenie: Thinks outside the box. Literally. Yesterday Miss Kitty and all her babies were in the box, but Eenie was just outside.

Meenie: Not a meanie. A sweetie!

Miney: This joker is a jokester.

Mo: He's my laid-back little dude. Doesn't say much, just sits back and looks at you with those eyes. At two weeks old, he's already heavily contemplated life.

Tiger: Biggest. Furriest. Leader of the band.

I've moved their box into a bigger enclosure so when they're big enough to leave the box they'll have a safe place to play.

I made the move a little sooner than I had planned, b/c when I went to check on them yesterday, I discovered Miss Kitty had moved them. She put them all in a desk drawer. They were all jumbled up in a pile on a bunch of pencils, peering out and saying, "Meow?"

And I said, "Miss Kitty, I've been there, honey. I know there are some days you just want to hide your kids away in a desk drawer or a closet or something, but you just can't do that, darlin'."

And she sighed a very heavy sigh as she watched me place them back in the box.

She's feeling a bit like a factory these days, poor girl.

That's OK.

I know she loves the little parasites....

They'll be ready in 5 1/2 more weeks! Taking orders now.....

Problems

noreply@blogger.com (Anne Kimball) — Thu, 09 May 2013 08:30:00 +0000

A friend of mine just posted a link to an article that wrote about the top 10 most dangerous cities.

#1 on that list? Wilmington, DE.

That's right, the city I work in is currently ranked the worst city per capita for murder and sex crimes.

It doesn't help matters that I occasionally misread an address and go knocking on the wrong door. I should probably stop doing that.

There needs to be a Dear Abby for folks who work home care in the inner cities.

You know, Dear Abby, if I walk out of my patient's house and I see two drug dealers on the corner, what is the appropriate interchange? Do I politely say hello and keep on walking, or make like I don't see them, or do a really bad attempt at street talk to get down with my homeys?

Couple days ago I pulled into a parking lot to send a few emails. It was in that purgatory that was not city but not quite suburbs either. A man walking down the street yelled to his friend at the bus stop,

"Did you hear Michael's in jail?"

"What he did?

"Problems, man...."

Problems....

"One Thousand Gifts" -- A Giveaway

noreply@blogger.com (Anne Kimball) — Sat, 04 May 2013 08:30:00 +0000

I have an opportunity to host a giveaway for a book called One Thousand Gifts!

Read the description below. If you'd like to win a copy, leave me a comment, and I will select one winner randomly.

This would make a wonderful Mother's Day gift!

Just like you, Ann Voskamp hungers to live her one life well. Forget the bucket lists that have us escaping our everyday lives for exotic experiences. ‘How,’ Ann wondered, ‘do we find joy in the midst of deadlines, debt, drama, and daily duties? What does the Christ-life really look like when your days are gritty, long—and sometimes even dark? How is God even here?’

In One Thousand Gifts: A Dare to Live Fully Right Where You Are, Ann invites you to embrace everyday blessings and embark on the transformative spiritual discipline of chronicling God's gifts. It’s only in this expressing of gratitude for the life we already have, we discover the life we’ve always wanted... a life we can take, give thanks for, and break for others. We come to feel and know the impossible right down in our bones: we are wildly loved—by God.

Ann Voskamp is the author of the New York Times bestselling book, One Thousand Gifts. She is also the wife of a farmer, the home-educating mother to a half-dozen kids and a storyteller who keeps a camera shutter close. Ann writes about gritty grace and a magnificent God at www.aholyexperience.com.

Miss Kitty and her babies

All are doing well. Miss Kitty is caring for them thoroughly, cleaning them, nursing them constantly, and in general just being a 24/7 cuddle-bug for them.

The babies just opened their eyes a couple days ago, at about a week.

And just a little housekeeping: a couple readers pointed out that they should really wait till eight weeeks to go to homes instead of the six I had mentioned, so I'll be sure to do that.

Also, please remember that Miss Kitty is a stray. By the time she started getting friendly with us, she was already well along in her pregnancy. I brought her in when it looked like she was getting close to delivery. She will not go out again until we get her spayed. And if anyone knows of someone who would like to have her as a pet, I would love to find her a good home. I'm sure the kittens will go pretty easily, but it's hard finding homes for cats. She is THE sweetest cat I've ever met. Really good, calm, sweet, litter-box trained, petite. If we didn't already have four, I would keep her myself.

And now I will leave you with some final parting cuteness...

Behind the Dryer

noreply@blogger.com (Anne Kimball) — Thu, 02 May 2013 08:30:00 +0000

Last week when I wrote about my appliance woes, I mentioned that we have to put the clothes through at least four dryer cycles for the clothes to be passably dry. That's in large part b/c the washer's spin cycle stopped working, but also b/c the dryer has been drying sub-par for some time now anyway.

So last weekend I took it upon myself to pull the dryer out and check to see if lint was building up in the hose. It was. Big time. As in, I can't believe our house hasn't burned down.

Anyhow, I thought I could lay to rest the theory of what happens to the socks. You know how you put 5 pairs in but only 3 1/2 pairs come back out? The dryer does not eat them. The dryer is simply an underground rairoad for socks.

A way station.

And I caught many of them before they made their way on to wherever they go.

Besides socks, I found all the other things you would expect to find behind the dryer.

You know, underwear, headbands, ponytails, a gross of pencils, nails, rocks, clotheshangers, belts, enough change to retire on, pajamas, bathing suits, several stain spray bottles and boxes of dryer sheets, a bottle of tacky glue, all the Chapsticks I ever gave my kids in their stockings, and lint. About a cubic yard of lint.

Taking suggestions on ways to round out my 101 Uses For Lint list.

1) link up your post using the linky tool below,

2) visit the hosts and leave a comment to say hi, if you'd like,

3) and try to visit three or more of the blogs linked up and leave a comment. They'll all be doing the same, so it's like a giant hippie love fest. Bring your own flowers.

Oh and when you comment? Put in the secret code "TALU" (Tuesday Archive Link-Up) and then give a little wink so we'll all know what you're talking about.

Have fun!

Now here are your TALU hosts, wonderful gals every one....

Jennifer, author of I Am Not Superwoman

Anne, author of Life On The Funny Farm

Debbie, author of Wrinkled Mommy

Kenya, author of Here's The Thing...

Shanna, author of Motherhood On The Rocks.

Rachel, author of Homesteading Quest
