Still alive here!!!!Sorry so long since an update

WOW its been just plan crazy.Ever feel completely overwhelmed?Thats me...

 OMG what was I ever thinking starting a veggie garden at this point?Sure I love doing it,I enjoy the garden and I love all the fresh veggies,but let me tell you its so much WORK.I swear I weed non stop and when I think its under control its time to start re weeding..Oh and then I had grasshoppers..I mean come on..its was almost like biblical times with locus(ok yes I'm being a dram queen..hahahahaha)but really grasshoppers..those cute little bugs that I remember catching and playing with as a child were a total pain in the rear to get rid of.
  I'll have to take some pictures of the garden to share.I'm still shocked I managed to grow a garden..and so excited I did it all from seeds.

 I still don't like the peacocks..they really scare me.LOL Yes I know they are beautiful birds..however if you ever want to look at rather or not the dinosaurs evolved into birds...I say come check out my peacocks...I say yes....peacocks and the dreaded ROOSTERS...
  Speaking of Roosters...why do some roosters just snap?One day they are just walking around pretty clueless..then they just snap..and its ALL ON..They stalk you and just wait for you to turn your back so they can attack.They are truely the velociraptors of our time.(psst if you happen to not know what a velociraptor is check out this website....http://www.velociraptors.info/    lots of great info to avoid an attack..lol)
 I promise to update more later..the ranch awaits its cowgirl and well I have tons of work to do

I'm so screwed

 Well I did get the tractor started YAY...and then I got some HAY out so YAY FOR HAY.

So my friend Laura calls and says hey I have the whole weekend planned for you(I love when she does that,lol)Anyways the plans were circus on Saturday..Epcot on Sunday..woohoo sounds like a blast...so excited.
 Then my van broke...good grief....and for the record..I can fix a tractor but not a stupid minivan.A million thanks to the random strangers that stopped and helped me push the van..and a million and one thanks to the random stranger that went home to get her husband to see if he could get me running.Its so refreshing to see truely honest to goodness great people..willing to help out while I tried my hardest to cowgirl up but was closer to having a breakdown(you know mental..the van already had a breakdown)on the side of the road.
  I hate the feeling of helplessness..I know I'm so much stronger then that.Yet I felt like a complete loser.

 Anyways I have to say my Cowboy even being way up in NC made a few calls got John the mechanic to come with a tow truck..The Cowboy's mom Hilda(I love her)came to pick me and Justin up.So now I'm carless...and stuck on the ranch.(not that its the worst place in the world to be)but I really wanted to go to the circus.And you know have a car for grown up stuff like getting to the grocery store and stuff.Boy this really sucks.
  Anyways if you happen to see a tractor rolling down the HWY with a carseat on it...Its just me and the boys.

 I sure hope the van gets fixed fast and its an easy fix.

Hostage Standoff Christmas,Florida

Help I'm being held hostage,I am stuck in my house unable to do my cowgirl duties(I'm having coffee watching last nights survivior and enjoying the AC..so you can see just how dire this is..)
 So the tractor is broke..crappers I need it.Anyways a call to the cowboy last night and he thinks its a dead battery...cuz DID YOU KNOW THAT TRACTORS HAD HEADLIGHTS?Well I didn't and I think in my using it I may of turned them on and left them on..becouse lets face it I have NO IDEA what I'm doing.So I need to get to the warehouse..thankfully I parked the tractor next to the warehouse(so grateful I did something right!!!)And hook up the battery charger and PRAY it works.
  I need to get hay in the field...the cows are looking for the hay.

Ok for those who haven't been to our ranch...we have a pet cow.Yes I know we have lots of cows but one is a true pet.She started out as Ugly Cow(cuz she was ugly)And she slowly turned into Ugly Betty..now everyone(except me)just calls her Betty..Anyways she knows she's a pet and I guess as far as a cow's life goes she's rather pampered.We hand feed her..ok the cowboy hand feeds her I put some cow chow(lol can you belive there is really a thing called cow chow..I don't know why I laugh everytime I read the bag but I do)Ok back to the point..I put her cow chow in a bucket and just let her do her thing.
 Everytime she sees me she comes running..and wants to play.Only playing with a cow is not so easy..its not like she can roll over and play dead or fetch a stick.Playing with a cow means she HEAD BUTTS me..and to be honest its hurts.She's a cow for goodness sakes she's BIG.
  So that brings us to the hostage standoff....I already fed the animals(aside from the cows..thankful we have grass they can graze)I even gave Ugly Cow a bucket of cow chow.but she won't leave!!!!
 She's is just waiting outside...I can't get to the warehouse to fix the tractor..then get the hay...nope she is just outside MOO-ing.So I am forced to watch TV and drink coffee and have a semi"normal"day....

Ugly cow at Justins first birthday party..lol she ate his cake

mom we're bored...really well lets fix it

 Ok when mommy is stressed out and has a MILLION things to do..its never a great idea for kids to say we're bored...You would think they would teach them that in school..you know every kid should know that.
 
 So I thought of something cool they could do..at first they were super excited...then lets just say they started having a really crappy time...for the life of me I can't understand why..ummmmmmmm tough crowd I guess.
  I had them shovel poo for the compost pile!!It was a win win..meaning I didn't have to do it..hahahahahaha
Plus I mean With Earth day and all the kids need to learn this stuff..oh and I didn't have to do it...BONUS!!!

Thanks Boys

what a hotdog really is

 So my 4 year old understands where a burger comes from...he knows where chicken comes from(LOL and when he gets mad a chicken he says he's gonna eat him...funny to watch him yelling I'll FRY YOU UP at the chickens)
 Today however he came up with just where HOTDOGS come from...and he explained it to me...hotdogs are snakes they cut up.Then they paint them hotdog color...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
You know I was to tired to explaine the truth.

Agrestic Farm oh and its 4-20..works perfect

So ever since my garden has started to grow I have noticed that the police helicopers(or more likely sheriffes helicopters)tend to be doing more fly bys and getting much lower.We are used to seeing them flying and checking out the property.LOL Christopher thinks they are fans of COWS and thats why they do fly overs..
 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA they are looking for POT FIELDS..
I want to mess with them and put a bunch of LIGHTS in the warehouse and see how long it takes them to do a raid.LOL
  Anyways thank you Andrea for renameing our ranch for the day.....Now everyone that knows about AGRESTIC enjoy the song that has to be stuck in your head...right now

small harvest day

 Hey so I was able to harvest a few radishes today.How cute are those?

I was super excited,once again I'm just truely amazed I grew something.So little Justin and I harvested up lots of radishes and after getting them all cleaned up....I remembered just how much I disslike radishes.I sliced one up thinking maybe I'll like them since after all I GREW THEM...nope still hate them..gross ,,still don't like them.Now Justin for some odd reason thought they were baby apples so he grabbed a whole one off the counter and took a big bite..hahahahahahahahahahaha guess what?He pretty much feels the same way i do about radishes.

Thankfully my MIL Hilda likes radishes..oh and my goats adore them...so at least I feel better knowing I grew them for a reason
