It was a busy day

I didn't get everything done that I wanted, I never seem to. We are working on designing a pig pen for my pot belly pigs, cleaning up the back yard, fencing part of the pasture, and cleaning out an old house to get it ready to be moved for someone who really needs it.

I'm tired though. I didn't sleep at all and I can't decide if it was because of the pigs or because I'm sick. My allergies are really acting up and that is pretty weird for this time of the year.

Last year we bought one of those above ground pools from my favorite "I hate this place" store. It was perfect for the kids for the summer. Now it has become a death trap for my birds. I have lost one chicken in it this year. She flew in and drowned. By the time I found her she was already dead. This morning I almost lost my Tom Turkey. His name is Tom Sawyer. I found him swimming. I went out to feed and was calling all my animals and he didn't answer. I just knew. Sure enough I found him in it.

After bugging my husband for a month about taking it down and removing it, that was the straw that broke the camels back. He loves Tom as much as all of us do on our little hobby farm. Bye bye swimming pool! I drove almost 2 hours to a ranch to get Tom. I paid $25 for him because I needed on big enough to go with my girl Becky Thatcher. Becky lost her first man friend to a dog before she even started laying eggs. Now Becky is sitting on eggs of her own, and my chickens' eggs.

I know its a relevant fact that Turkey's are... well... small brained... Ok, my Daddy says they are stupid. At any rate for a "Stupid Turkey" she knows what she's doing compared to my hens. I have found eggs in the weirdest spots. My husband found a nest in the boat, I found one in their food dish! They lay them wherever and leave them. Becky gathers up what she can and sits on them. I'm hoping for a hatch in a couple of weeks.

At any rate. We got the pool taken down, laundry going, dinner cooked, our bedroom cleaned.. but no fences built and the rest of the house is a wreck! Tomorrow is church and travel day and then its back to work for the week. I didn't even get a chance to do my scrapbooking crop! I'm going to do it next weekend I suppose.

How do you handle getting the things accomplished on your list? You know... the list that never ends!
