Sunday afternoon

Thinking about making tomorrow a Domestic Science sort of day. I'm hankering to go through some piles of decorating magazines, and just need to re-arrange things and putter.  Tuesday we're going to the library, which tends to take the bulk of the day and Wednesday I have the Intercessory Prayer group to go to at church.  Easy to stay busy, that's for sure.  With remembering Patricia's passing a year later today, and thinking on Gary's friend who just had the stroke, I want to enjoy the days more.  Stress less over schoolwork and just live.  Hear me?  Just LIVE.

On that note.  Hey.  Gary's got a bee in his bonnet to get chickens. Like we need chickens?  He's got friends he's made through his e-cig forum who raise them, and seems to be a current fancy with several families in church as well.  And as it so happens, our priest just got 8 chickens himself.  They already have 4 dogs, so are as mentally-wanting as we are.  In the city. Chickens.  Huh.  I think either Gary or we collectively are nuts to even be having this conversation.  I ask him why and he says he likes the colors of the eggs, and then laughs and says that maybe finally we can have something living here that gives a return.  I site the Pugs as being my babies and he kindly backs off a bit.

We have no sense at all.  This is why we have eight kids, 4 dogs, one conure, and a small house.  We love lots of activity around us---meaning bodies and beating hearts---but aren't very realistic in what being adults requires.  We're both the same in that respect.  What a pair we are.
