Little Okie Homestead

As I reach the end of this pregnancy I'm getting anxious and excited to meet our Baby Girl and snuggle and cuddle her. I keep thinking that I can't wait until she comes out! I can't wait to see her pretty little face and her cute little toes! But it also has me thinking about how life is going to change for my boys! Monkey has already expressed how he gets ignored when a baby is around. This poor guy still asks me questions when people in the store comment at how cute Goose is but fail to say anything about him. He doesn't understand and now there is going to be a new baby... and a girl baby at that. Girl babies seem to hold a different standard of cuteness to the public. People tend to admire little girls in their dresses and cute hair bows more then little boys wearing superhero shirts covered in dirt. And then poor Goose! ties been the baby now for almost 4 years! He's going to have to adjust to having a mommy that has to put a babies needs first. He's go...

Today has been a hard day! My pregnancy hormones sure put me to the test today and failed miserably! I slept or laid in bed the majority of the day. The boys watched movies when I was resting or it was actually nap time and they were resting too. This is part of the season we are end as I'm nearing the end of my pregnancy. Some days life needs to be slow and we need a TV in bed day! We did venture out and get the chicks and chicken food and Hubby prescription (which had its own emotional stress with the fact that the stupid medical insurance we have to carry does absolutely nothing but cost us money and helps pay for nothing!). By the time I was home I was ready to curl up in the fetal position and just cry my eyes out! I couldn't handle listening to either of the boys say another word. I knew where I was at and I knew I needed a few minutes to pull myself together and I needed to ask for help. Today I'm grateful to be living so close to a really good friend. I knew ...

A day in the life of beginning a farm while building a tiny house.... First we didn't get home to the micro house until 9:30 last night as Hubby was trying to get the flooring finished (he only has one small section in the kids room left) before the dark set in and before he had to head back to work for the next week in a half. Then of course we have to get everything cleaned up and prepared for rain that is coming in before we could head home. We were out there putting paint samples on the wall to make sure we got the right colors and I brought out dinner so Hubby could eat at a decent time. So we get home and frantically get the boys in bed so we relax and hopefully fall asleep. Of course with all the drama of the night we were both wide awake so we laid in bed watching TV until after midnight! Not a good thing to do when the next day is booked full! Oh forgot to mention that Hubby had a flat tire we had to figure out before we could head home too! So the morning starts with no...
