Tar Jay Gift Card!

I. Don't care.

I get so tired of watching what I eat I could scream. 

I don't care that it's bad for me. 

I get so sick of hearing about weight loss. 

I don't care that you lost 1 lb or gained 10. 

I get so frustrated by my lack of caring. That I just don't care anymore. 

I. Don't. Care. 

I get so tired of being consumed by food. 

I'm sick of the battle or constant Talks and not changing 1 single thing. 

It defines me.  As a failure. And fail is something I refuse to allow. 

That statement boldly indicates I care. 

The last 3 years have drastically changed me. Not for the better most days. More often then not I go to call him and can hardly breathe let alone think about food. 3 years seem like a lifetime. But it isn't. I miss my Dad every single day. I'm letting it define me. I've become hard, cold and quite frankly I don't care. People in your life other then those drastically affected move on with their lives. Naturally. I feel like they forget. And sadly don't care. Intentionally or not. 

I don't know how to fix it. I don't know how to start caring. I don't know how to keep moving ahead. I know it's time. For my health, my babies, my amazing husband and my dear friends. 

Chicken coop part 2!

Next up the nesting boxes. Again all reclaimed lumber. 

Back window in! My littlest chic all ready to go! 

Looks like I missed a few pics of the plywood going up! Chicken door! 

Using up left over outdoor paint. Again at $49.00. 

Ok. No way was I going to let this huge green coop go un decorated. So we added more decking boards to the whole outside to make it more charming and less sore thumb. 

And we already had the dog run from a job someone wanted removed! Works perfectly! 

And meet my girls at 6 days old!! They are soooooo big now!!!! 

They got some fresh air on Tuesday! 

We have the tin roof left which we hope to do on Sunday! Because the ladies are ready to go to there new home!!!

Chicken coop part 1!

Whew. I didn't realize it had been so long since I blogged! Some days this seems like a full time job? I can't be alone thinking that?!?!?!?  


Anyways. We have been working on our chicken coop! We decided this year we wanted to give raising chickens a go! I have spent HOURS researching and reading about chickens. Which I swear is strange. Something about gardening has brought out some new found part of me. And I love it. Simple is better. And anyone who tells you differently is lying. There is nothing more therapeutic then to get up early and start my morning off in the garden...And to even type that is foreign to me. Its just so calming and amazing to harvest your own goodies. I have loved loved every second of it and I miss it terribly. I am so ready to start digging in the fresh dirt. Were expanding the garden this year. I plan to blog about it a lot more as well. BUT back to Chickens.

So the coop. We were lucky enough to have a job last summer that we installed a beautiful paver patio. BUT to get to the patio the deck had to be removed. Thankfully my handy husband was smart enough to take the deck apart nicely and neatly and then store the wood the same way. KNOWING we would use it for something...lol! (hoarders.) So $49.00 we are almost done. We still need the tin roof. And thats it!

FYI- it was freezing. We worked 2 soild weekends. 

Let me remind you. We are at $49.00 spent. On those! See the yellow boxes? Decking screws are way over priced. I mean really?!? 

 

Found these windows at the farm. Worked perfectly! 

Somehow this man never questions my insane ideas. And willingly does them without complaining ever. 

Where my stud is standing is future nesting boxes! 

I'll save more for tomorrow! 

Finish The Sentence!

Linking up with my gurrrrrrrllllllll! The lovely Holly from Where We Can Live Like Jack and Sally

1. I always pick…doing it MY way. 

2. Look at the size of those... WHAT? What are you looking. #alwayslookingatmyboobs MY FACE IS UP HERE!! HEYYYYYY #curseofabigchest 

3. I recently learned....that the age 5 has been the hardest yet. Mood swings are no joke when your 5. 

4. Only when no one is looking...I pluck my unibrow. 

5. I lost my....winter tolerance.  I HATE WINTER. 

6. I was certain I'd… have more then 2 kids. BUT hell no. Nope. Never. I can't even handle these 2. A puppy will do. 

7. There is not enough liquor in the world for me to....pretend to be nice. I just don't ever have it in me. 

8. I just finished... doing some extreme couponing at Tar Jay! Your wasting $ If your not couponing.

9. Why does everyone have to be... fake. enough said.

10. It's very rare when I... can pay attention for longer then 2 minutes whatever someone is saying. 

11. If I were a dog... I would be a bulldog. Preferably the Georgia Bulldog mascot one so Jason Aldean could love all over me. 

Happy Birthday my Man! Since were bff I know its his bday. HAHHAHA 



12. I don't believe...I can ever give up drinking coke. uh yes I'm drinking one now. I just cant. AND dont even be giving me a pepsi. ugh. 

Have a good Friday Girls!
