LMAO!!!  I'm going to say digging around the bush from now on    That's too funny!!

I have seen some that are just beautiful and actually got to hold one at a petting farm a few years back, but I don't think they are the animals for me.  But I have to say that the brown ones are some of the prettiest animals I have ever seen...

I don't find many animals that I don't like...Jimmie gets mad at me for feeding the possums out here ~ lol!  We have every stray cat in the neighborhood coming for the cat buffet at night and I think I may have a problem...

you wanna dog..      he is real cute, real furry, he is like a big ol'e  lump of hair and strange smells..   most are unpleasant but thats ok right? I mean, you like skunks after all.

no! no! this is a ummm, a  different dog.. yeah, a different dog allll together. I wouldnt lie to ya. 

I'll throw in a teenage daughter.

oh if y'all only knew..   That is a bargain!   

augh.

Last year, I was at my daughter's "daddy/daughter day" and we're all sitting around and chatting about "men things" Cars, jobs, women.. wait, I wasn't involved with that one...

ANYWAY....something came up about cars and how messy the a car can gets.

My darling daughter turns around and goes "Daddy's car is always clean. That's because he's gay. Gay guys aren't slobs like straight guys."

Insert Asian shocked-fainting-and-blushing all at the same time smilie right here.

 

You can not imagine how much flak I get from the guys now. 

oh please. She has two fathers. She's totally spoiled beyond belief. 

At least she isn't a brat. I cant' stand that. But she knows how to bat her eyes and go "Daddy... PLLLLLLLLLLLEAAAAAAAASE"

And she knows which father to go to for what. 

When we were in California (we moved back, I'm not sure if I told you guys that), my daughter came up to me with the paper one day, tears in her eyes and put it in my lap.

There was an article about how since so many folks are losing homes, so many animals were showing up at the shelter. I sat her on my lap and tried to explain that we didnt' have a farm anymore, we had a house.

And we already had dogs, a cat, foxes and we couldn't take anymore. And she cried. But I stuck to my guns. Trust me, I felt bad but we didnt' NEED any more animals.


Daughter goes to David the next Saturday and asks if they can go out for a drive. She, her brothers and David go out.


They come back about four hours later.. they went to Petsmart who was having a pet fair for the Humane Society with 6 black bear hamsters (my sons), and THREE guinnea pigs... and cages, food, watering idshes. oh dear god.

The guinnea pigs were sisters and of course we couldn't take one.. we had to take all three.

sigh....

the pigs were named by David "Eeney, meany, miney" becuase I wanted "NO MO" 

Last week, she asked David to pick her up from a friends house after school. Seems the friends cat had kittens and she had two left and NATURALLY, we had to take both of them.

help me. sigh.

By the way, the Guinea pigs are now best friends with Arty, the fox. they all sleep toether in a big box at night and in the morning, after the kids leave, david lets them out in the house and they run around the house. They see me and run tho. I guess I'm the big bad wolf to them. 

But GOD do they squeal so loud when my daughter comes home. They are LOUD little things!

I may have to turn the farm into a petting zoo if this keeps up

 My family and friends are back in VA and my best friend and his BF moved back to VA shortly before that after a job fell out and Flamers mother and step dad moved back there to the home I built.

Plus David's family is in Richmond, we were just too far away from everyone.

And no, I didn't like California at all. My 9 year old son came home the second day of school and told me explicit details of another 9year old told him what a blow job was and my daughter was told she wasn't cool becuase she was adopted. This at a very exclusive private school. 


I'll stick with the farmers and their daughters... wait.. that didnt' sound right did it? 

It's not brigadoon but it's home. Last year, my daughter had some problems wtih a ministers son. long story short, that and the chance of being finally legally married, we moved out there. 

But it wasnt' for us. From the begining, I didn't like it. But David loved it so I was willing to stay.

When things started going wrong and he started to miss his family, we all talked about it and went back home. I missed going over to David's parents home on Sundays. We do it every Sunday. The kids loved having grandparents for the first time and really missed them.

And yeah, it's no place like home.

I did have a good offer on the house, made a nice profit so we're going to sell it.

Today is my daughters 13th birthday.  I give her a hug and say yeah! you are officially a teenager now and my 6 yr old says... does that mean she gets to cuss now.            no she doesn't get to cuss now.
