Yes, it is true. We have grown by 4. At least the fluffy, cute, chirpy type. Yes, my kitchen is once again being used as a barn...or it at least feels that way, though it is nice to wake up to the sounds of the rain forest. Or at least that is what I am convincing myself of when I suffer through the never ending chirping. At least they are cute. We went to the local feed store to pick up some feed for our hens and they had two stock tanks full of adorable little chicks. Of course, the kids reminded me that we were short a few hens since of the last batch of ten, six were roosters. Long story short and using the ever technical method of picking the cutest ones to be girls, we went home with four new chicks (which my husband got a kick out of telling everyone at the gym that afterwards we were "going to pick up chicks").

| Our cool green eggs...2 of the new ones will lay colored eggs too....unless they are roosters! |
We had to experience the Ft Worth Stock Show before it was over. We went on a Weds. and learned some very valuable information. Mostly, we learned that they don't keep the stock show animals there at all times. They are pretty much only there on the weekends. So if you want to see actual animals and NOT mostly empty barns, go on the weekends. We also learned that our admission to the stock show also includes admission to two museums nearby. Needless to say, we spent the better part of the day checking out the museums. We had a lot of fun, which made me feel better about not seeing much at the stock show.

You know how you sometimes have a collision of what you THINK your like and then reality rears its ugly head. I had that happen this week. I remember doing this great workout video several years ago. It was fantastic. It only took 30 minutes. It really got my heart rate up and I felt ready to conquer the world (or at least deal with toddlers) when I was done. I did a very similar workout two days ago. I think I almost died. I had to pause it twice to get water and by the end was sprawled on the floor, red faced and gasping for air. What happened? I am pretty sure I entered a weird time warp where the 30 minutes was actually an hour and a half. That sounds like the most plausible explanation to me. I am going with it. My husband completely understands. He entered his own time warp on the rowing machine at work. I mean he got an outstanding time, but does it really count if you spend the next 4 days laid up on the couch writhing in pain? Also the kids asking, "Did you have that when you were a kid?" really doesn't help me feel young. Yes, we drove our covered wagon to the market to marvel at the electricity in town.....or so the kids appear to think.....
