I was having some problems with my computer and it was causing my e-mail to go wacky. With help from some suggestions from people on Countryside, I finally found that something I downloaded to make my mail and web faster, clearer and apparently messed things up. It also made my information more available to THEM. It has since been uninstalled but I couldn't get on here, Countryside or Dairy Goat forums for a few days making me think that something was still messed in my computer, especially since my server thought I may have a small virus anyway.

The basement is going along. Not as much swearing today. Doesn't look great but okay. Wait until the carpet gets put down. That is probably going to cause a riot.

I started working on my fence again since it was nice out. Had to hand saw through a couple of logs and had to roll one full roll to the back of the property. Do you know how heavy one of those things are? 330 feet of woven wire. By the time I got it there (I tried a hand cart, wheelbarrow and garden cart first) I was too tired to continue putting up the fence.

Had my son dig a hole and he put it in the wrong place. He was mad at me because he has to take the bus this month and doesn't want to. So I started telling him the old, "When I was your age..." stories. He said that you would think you would want it better for your child which made me flip out because he is so spoiled and gets almost everything as it is. And the school asked for all the students to take the bus because they are doing road work and it's congested. He still has to dig a hole in the right place, that's not going to change.

Ahhh, I'm feeling better now. Probably not as good as Joy will in Hawaii but better.

For those of you who celebrate, Happy Easter. For all else, Have a great day.

Hi Dee!! I haven't even been online for probably close to 2 weeks, so I'll chat here for a "few". Sounds like you've been having "one of those days"!! Hey, hubby and I have dealt with woven wire before when we had sheep...not fun!! Then, when the sheep start leaning on it and pulling it down, well, repairing it is even MORE fun! And what is it about kids nowadays that they just cannot "see" what you want them to!!?? I guess every generation of parents has to deal with their kid's dissatisfaction with life, but hey...tell them to deal with it :-)!! As much as your son might disagree, he is at the least stressful and easiest part of his life right now and he should enjoy it!

Going back outside now to tattoo some "kids", but hope to be back online tonght. I am SOOO far behind on both email and BTS!!!!! Sorry, everyone :-)! Happy Easter!
