farm animals

My husband has recently decided, once we are out on our land, he wants some "farm" animals. An understandable request for 30 acres so I wasn't surprised. "I think some sheeps, a donkey, and big Clydesdale...oh and of course my two black labs or rottweiler" he explained. I was like ummm, come again?

Fist of all, I grew up on land surrounded by animals... well, cows mainly and a horse here & there. So I completely was open to the fact of having some cows, maybe a horse one can ride (i think i'd be afraid to mount a huge Clydesdale!). The fact that sheep and donkeys are completely useless on a farm didn't bother him {and secretly I think he just likes saying "donkey" like on Trek). "Jesus had a donkey! and the donkey can carry my stuff around the land behind me on my clydesdale..."

Apparently he has it all figured out...

But after seeing this little baby lamb over at a Merry Mishap, as far as the sheep, he may have convinced me...

Dear Snow

Dear Snow,
Thank you so much for coming down and curing my serious case of spring fever.
Sincerely
Snow Lover of the South

hello new heart

******

I'll be putting my feet up this weekend... they're killing me. Work... well, Jesus is working on my heart where my work is concerned... or opening up a new door! Yaye, I'm excited about either or! I never wanted to be that person who complained a/b their work! and that's whats starting to happen...

I never dreaded going to work until this past year. Now I have to mentally prepare myself and "rest up" before and after my shifts... its ridiculous. I want to yell at myself and say "suck it up, man!" but then I'll just cry quietly in bed after the lights are turned out. Pitiful, I know...

So hello new heart! or hello new job! or hello both!

ps. is there anyone who wakes up excited about their job and excited about their work? are there really jobs out there and people out there like that? just wondering...

Surprise!!! An Award! Um, what does that mean exactly?

Does anyone else have that problem!! Why can't I just be content in my present season!
