Yep. His new favorite thing. He did it again yesterday evening after Tinyflame came home so I got to tell her she had a visitor. The excited “It’s Bob!” followed by “Bob is my best friend.” makes keeping his surly ass worth it.
It’s apparently his new favorite thing. I was walking to the kitchen and literally jumped and yelled “DAMMIT BOB!” because suddenly there his is again. 🙄
Unexpected consequence of introducing Tinyflame to Pokémon:
The creation of the “Come on Brock!” game which involves Tinyflame telling Jason to get on his hands and knees then grabbing his ear and dragging him around the house while going “Come on Brock!”
Thank you! They do make life pretty sweet. 🥰
Thank you!
Thank you! Miss you too. 💜💜💜
My child out here lying with her full chest sayin the mark on her cheek is because another kid bit her.
Ma’am.
That mark is a reaction to the adhesive on the band-aid you INSISTED you needed on your cheek after “hitting” yourself with a soft bouncy ball.
Stop trying to get someone in trouble. 🙄
Thank you!!
Thank you!!
Thank you!!
My cat collection now consists of 1 shelter cat and a horde of barn/feral cat babies because PEOPLE IN THE COUNTRY ARE FUCKING IRRESPONSIBLE.
My cats? Inside. If they got out somehow? They’d come home for food at some point with no surprises because they’re FUCKING FIXED!!!!

Me holding kitten for Chopper to sniff/meet for pack integration: This is mine. You be nice.
Tinyflame: No! It’s MINE!
Me (while rolling eyes at the correction): This is Tinyflame’s. You be nice.
Tinyflame: Yeah Chopper!
Kid now has a dog (Chopper apparently 🤷🏽♀️), pig, and now a kitten. 🤷🏽♀️
Honestly the highlight of yesterday was when Tinyflame got told it was my birthday, told me happy birthday, then asked Jason to sing too before signing “Happy Birthday to Mommy.” unprompted.
Y’all. 😭
This child is too damn sweet for this world.
(I also appreciated all the other well wishes.)
Maybe this year I’ll figure out what I’m doing with my farm, build a website for it, and make moves towards long term goals.
Or just keep spinning my wheels and buying hatching eggs.
Probably the latter honestly…
…guess I’ll up my cloud storage again. 🤷🏽♀️
Well it’s a new year so naturally I’m going to make the goal to interact with friends more and then putter out some time in February convinced that no one really cares to hear from me so I’ll just be a little creeper instead mentally sending love on everything they post.
As is tradition.
💜💜💜
Congratulation!!!
It’s been over a year since my parents have seen my kid in person.
They live 40 minutes away. They haven’t asked to see her. Not even on a video call.
Apparently they still think it’s MY job to make sure they have a relationship with their grandkid.
Yeah…no. My job is to raise her. Not them.
Oh… I am so, so sorry Jenn. He was so loved and such a good boy. All my heart to you guys. 💜💜💜
I may need to invest in a pasta maker soon…
I miss being on my bullshit. It looks so good!
The way I wish my brain would brain better so I could be more consistent in sharing the ridiculousness of my farm life.
And this goose is a menace. But the kid loves him so… 🤷🏽♀️
Picture of a text bubble sent at 12:42 AM that reads “He’s in the coop.”.
How I know my partner truly loves me:
One of my roosters got out, I couldn’t catch him and had to give up because I had to go get/care for kiddo.
I woke up to this message.
Apparently when he got home after I went to sleep he gabbed a headlamp and went looking for my bird for me.
Almost a year later and he’s still a huge love bug who loves to cuddle with me. These days he’s usually plastered against me when I wake up and gives me a “kiss” to say good morning.
Thanks to my sister my kiddo is DEEP in the original Pokémon world.
Hearing her sing “still gotta catch them all…” or exclaim “Who’s that Pokémon?!” makes my world brighter.
Meanwhile this one is over there living their best life.
I’m leaning female on this one but it may still be too young to tell…
I waited forever for him to do his “crow”.

I’m fairly certain my adult life is just one big over correction from a childhood of being told “No” whenever I wanted a pet.
Anyway…have some Snowflake Bobwhite Quail.

It’s been rough for a while here but my girls are getting back online and the spring hatched pullets are starting to pay rent.
Finally able to fully restock the fridge with extras getting steamed for the pups dinner tonight. Also managed to get a dozen to sell for the first time in months.

Jason is doing better. He’s still recovering but hopefully he’ll be back to better than normal soon.
Farm life, as always, doesn’t stop for anything and Blackberry is finally a mom - 3rd clutch is the charm. 🤷🏽♀️
Granted it’s a Saxony not a Muscovy but hopefully the Muscovy eggs hatch next week. 🤞🏽
