Life is crazy!

Hi there guys! I haven't been on the computer too much lately. Life is just crazy with 4 kids. And, I am not getting any sleep with the baby. I kept track last night of how many times that I got up with her. Grand total came to 11 . So, I am pretty exhausted during the day.

My oldest two boys are into 4-H and unfortunately can't show chickens in their local shows (except broilers, which they aren't interested in). They are now really into rabbits and goats. They probably have about 50 rabbits and we just put a deposit on a boer buck for one of the boys to show for next year. Our oldest isn't sure whether he wants a new goat to show or if he will show one of our other goats. We still have the chickens and I wish that I had time for hatching. Maybe I will get back into hatching this spring and summer when it warms up.

Hope everyone is well.

I know you are going nuts, my daughter-in-law has 4 also. She has a 2 year old, a six year old and a set of twins that will be 1 year old next month.

I cannot even imagine 2 babies at once, let alone a 2 year old to go with it! The baby makes me tired, but the older ones keep me running. They are all into soccer and baseball and my six year old takes 4 dancing classes/week along with the sports. Luckily, the boys have taken up complete responsibilty of the animals. They feed and water everything. I just get to go out and enjoy sitting out in the barn when I get the occasional minute to myself. The chickens, rabbits, goats, and other animals have a soothing affect. It makes the stress easier to take.
