Joe and I both have crappy memories so I'm not sure how many years it is, besides with having to take care of triplets I'm not so sure you remember either. Anyhow, We hope you have a Happy Day and maybe even get some alone time. Lock the kids in the closet for a little while. As long as they have drinks and a few Cheerios they'll be ok. That's what I do with Jax when I need some alone time. Love and kisses!
PS: I am totally and completely kidding about the closet thing. I want to make that clear in case anyone from Child Protective Services reads this.

Happy Anniversary Bryan & Sarah
I already got yelled at for not posting a Happy Anniversary to Bryan and Sarah, but I have 2 hours and 45minutes until the day is over so it still counts. Like I have nothing better to do than blog all day. I have places to go and people to see and shit to take care of. Anyway, Happy 45th Wedding Anniversary or whatever. I stopped by Bryan and Sarah's tonight and the music was loud, Nicholas was crying and Bryan and Sarah were arguing about something random. All is well and Life is good. If the kids were calm and Bryan and Sarah were getting along then I would be very worried. So, carry on you crazy kids! I love you Bunches!!!
Who Makes This Stuff Up???
Sarah came over last night so that I could help her study for her "Teas" test. It is a standardized test that she needs to take and pass before she can be admitted into the nursing program. This is something new since I've gone to nursing school. I thought maybe I could help her understand some medical concepts and such. She brings the book which wasn't too intimidating; only about an inch thick. Compared to the Nursing Board Review book which is about 3 inches thick. I figured this will be a piece of cake and I can show her how smart I am and yada, yada, yada. The first thing she showed me was a chart with big "A's" and little "a's" and a bunch of stuff about alleles and dominant and recessive and lots of words that I'm not sure I've ever heard of. "What are you trying to become? A genetic engineer???" I know I learned that stuff at one point in time, however, I've definitely forgotten it. After a little while I pretty much figured that out and she seems pretty comfortable with it so we move on. Graphs and charts and pill bugs. Yah, some scenario about pill bugs and eating wheat and being in the dark. I don't know it was all crazy. Sarah decides that she wants to take an online practice test. I'm all for that, I think that is a really good way to study and get an idea of the real test. We take it together. Math,reasoning problems, punctuation and spelling all went pretty well. Then we get to Science. "Are you kidding me?" What is it about Tectonic plates that is related to the medical field? Why do I care how rocks are formed? There were a few medical related questions, the rest were a random trivia that there is no way you could study for. Either you know it or you don't. Not fair, but reality. So, she's taking the test for real on Monday. I know she can do it, she just has to stay positive. As a little back up though; everyone say a little prayer when they wake up on Monday to give Sarah the edge. By the way, I didn't do that well on the punctuation part, so don't critique my writing. I'm not even sure what a conjunction is.

A day in the life of a chicken farmer
The girls seem to be settling in to their new home. They venture out further and further each day. Sometimes it takes me awhile to find them. Today they decided to make dust holes in the back of the barn. Bear and Ellie do their part in keeping them close to their coop. I made the mistake of encouraging Ellie to chase them and now she won't quit. Bear chases them occasionally but as of yet he hasn't tried to eat them. I have Poached eating out of my hand. Every time she sees me she comes running. During the day it would be hard to catch one, but at night it is a different story. I find it to be a weird phenomenon. At night when they go into the coop to roost, I can walk up to them and pet them and pick them up without difficulty. It's almost like they are drugged. I tried to find out if their is a reason for that but as of yet my research has turned up no real answers. I am enjoying them immensely but still waiting for eggs. I figure by mid September I should have eggs. If I don't, then they are defective.
