Farmer Palmers!
Yesterday we took our yearly Easter trip to farmer palmers, last year if you remember we sat in the sun in t-shirts, wore suncream and ate ice cream, this year? It snowed during the Easter egg hunt! The wind had a wind chill factor of what felt like 20 below. Lolly wrapped her long scarf around her head in the end! But we had fun, the animals were very cute and we petted and fed and wished we could sneak them out under our coat
We spent a lot of time in the heated barn, only got a quick go on feeding the lambs as there were so many people huddled in there!
Lolly had to prove her age with her bus card as they wouldnt give us a childrens ticket for her, I felt so old...

In four days time the children will be off school for 15 days and they will be given too much chocolate, I may just take up one of those emails that offer me cheap Valium...Just two rainy windy weekend days with no money to go anywhere have driven me crazy, dumpling is attention seeking to the max, trying to have a phone conversation with my mum ended when he blew a trumpet type thing in my ear, he found a tiny piece of glass on the floor and instead of following my instructions to keep still while I got a piece of kitchen paper, he rolled it between his fingers, he's defiant to his own disadvantage and it drives me crazy, Lolly wants to lay on the sofa and watch music tv whilst telling dumpling to be quiet, yes heaven forbid he play with his own toys in his own lounge when she has a tv, video player, dvd and broadband internet in her room!
**************************************
Popped to the local shop to get some desert for when we visit my dads for dinner tonight and turned the corner to find a pedestrian had been hit by a car, nothing I could do, people were comforting him and others redirecting traffic and I could hear the ambulance coming, the hospital is very near. He was conscious, just a head laceration but shocking never the less.
*************************************
As I said leaving for my dads soon for dinner, dumpling is behaving in that loud showing off six year old way and Lolly is do the teenage sulk/grunt routine, both my kids have to be ordered to behave in a suitable fashion when we visit grandparents, its not their default setting, no squabbling, no loud farting and then declaring it, no answering me back or asking pointless questions to start an arguement, the list goes on. Thye usually behave once they've had the run down from me, I just wish I didnt have to!

its raining again, (again? dont think it stopped) I'm indoors with dumplings best friend round to play although I think he may have moved in without me noticing, he lives across the road and they are suddenly inseperable. Lolly has two friends coming round today and sleeping over tonight, not entirely sure where or what I'm going to do, the girls will take over the lounge and dumpling will probably watch dvds in my room with his friend, I think I will have to take a very long bath!
I have a craving for sweet things that knows no bounds, I've just eaten a ham sandwhich, an apple and a yoghurt and still want to run to the shop and buy handfuls of chocolate and candy, not due on, not pregnant, whats up with me?

I'm a rubbish blogger, lots of ideas and no patience to write them out properly! But I'm also an lazy comment-er, I feel bad about how much I love reading my favourite blogs and how little I actually take the time to say anything, I should give more than I take! So I hereby promise to comment more, sometimes I actually dont when the post is so good that anything I say seems pathetic in comparison, so take it as a compliment when I'm to awestruck to say anything!

Chickens are great, ex batts are laying well, pekin bantam is refusing to eat her layers pellets and only want the corn, yeh well I want to eat doughnuts all day and no fruit and veg but their are rules and I've yet to see her lay an egg!
The chicks born at christmas are getting bigger by the second, still months till they lay though, very frisky and scared of me still which is weird when you think I raised them but you find that, its not till they are fully grown that they will sit on your lap as they know the hand that feeds them! 
The baby chicks are too cute for words, the gingerery one is adorable, still not sure what breed it is but I'm loving the colouring

I dont think I'm very well, I'm either sweating or shivering but thats all apart from a feeling of meloncholy but that may be just a come down from all the drugs I've had to take for this blasted neck spasm, I've had worse attacks before but never lasting as long as this.
Mostly I have a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach for Lolly, she went to a bowling party on saturday afternoon, one of the presents was a foam ball which one of the bitchier girls decided to throw at Lollys head, Lolly has the same muscular condition as me and it made her neck hurt, she asked the girl to stop and was told she was a faker, yes , the times Lolly has had to go to school on crutches or a neck collar, the time spent in hospital, all for fun! They all go to a fast food outlet afterwards where the birthday girl buys 9 meals for the 10 girls present, Lolly swore, left, rang me and caught the bus home. Since then she had had bitchy texts and none of her friends have spoken to her today as they dont want the bitchy one giving them a hard time too. It makes me want to cry and then go and shake these girls. Bullying is horrible but its even worse when your friends stand back and let it happen becuase they dont want to get involved.
