Nerds With Birds

2 weeks…I’m just now getting over this crap I have. I’ve got a lingering cough and I’ve shared that cough with the Peanut, Cody, Jay and Momma :/ Everyone seems to be on the upswing so *hopefully* this sick streak will end soon. I still can’t hear all that well on my right side(insane ear infection) but I’ve done my 3rd round of antibiotics to fix it - and now another wait game I guess. Maybe my sign language class was a foreshadow *L* I hope not! Anyway, I know I’ve promised the movie update - I’m still working on it *L* We’ve actually watched a lot more that I thought.

Let’s see…in the last 2 weeks…

(Jenn’s College) I have missed a lot of class - which sucks because that put me behind in my sign language class and I really enjoy that class. I got my biology test back - 35 out of 60 - can you say “THAT SUCKS” with me? Gosh, it might have been better if I had known what to study and wasn’t sick. Ugg so that bites - but I passed my ASL test with flying colors!

(Cody) His birthday is almost here - it’s this Thurs. He’s so excited to be turning the big 6 *L* He’s been getting all of his spelling words correct so he’s getting some kind of ice cream sundae thing at school which he is stoked about.

(Emily) She has been cracking me up lately. OH the things kids will say sometimes. Tonight she asked me for some tea. I told her “in a little while” and she let out a awwwoohhh moan and said “oh no, in a little while means NO” *lmao* I guess she has figured me out ;) A few days ago her and daddy were having a fun argument about who stinks. Jay was telling her she smelled like stinky old cheese and she was hollar’n no she didn’t stink at all. After about 5 or 6 “you stink like” my Miss Princess Emily blurted out “you stink like asshole” yeah isn’t that fabulous? Not entirely sure she has ever heard that word quite put like that before but she knew when to use it :/ I just love the things kids say…

(Farm) The pigeon eggs have hatched and seem to be doing well. The quail have started laying eggs. The damn rabbit never had any babies (talk about pissing me off!) and everyone else is doing fine. Next weekend I hope to be getting the garden in order and ready for plants. We should be putting quail eggs in the inky within the next month and we’ll have the webcam on them and WHENEVER the darn wabbit decided to have babies I’ll stick the other webcam out there so you can watch the bunnies.

(Jay) Finally took his motorcycle class. He ended up in the local paper. The headline above his quotes read ”
Missouri’s death rate among highest in U.S.” Yeah I was so proud *LOL*He really likes his bike and it is really a money saver as far as gas goes. I’m still not a huge fan but it makes him happy and we’re saving some money so for now…I’m not complaining ;)

I’m going to try and get back into my routine and update more often - summer is a come’n and we should have lots to update on the farm ;)

3 weeks since I’ve posted anything *wow* that’s what happens when I get sick :/ Emily and I have been “sharing” a severe sore throat, ear infection, cough for about a month now. She has finally gotten over it but it’s still lingering for me *ugg* I cannot wait for warmer weather. Midterms were this past week - I bombed 3 of the 4…sucks. I didn’t feel up to par anyway and I didn’t get to study as much as I would have liked. Aww well - next time :) I am really enjoying my ASL class though. I’m considering changing my major and going for an ASL interpretor. I think I would really enjoy that. I’ve been going to the deaf club every Friday (Jay and the kids to) and I went to a Helen Keller play with a few friends from ASL class and the play had 2 interpretors there. It was a great play put on by the Springfield Little Theater. So who knows what will happen with all that - I’m not sure what I’m doing anymore ;)

Let’s see…in the past 3 weeks we have watched a ton of movies - I’ll make that a separate post though. We did all go to the movie theater to see Horton Hears a Who yesterday and it was a cute movie. Cody sat and watched it all the way through - Emily was up and down throughout but she said she enjoyed it.

As far as the farm goes - same ‘ole really. The pigeons have laid some more eggs (2) so we shall see. Sassy rabbit is due next week - but I’m not holding my breath. the Chickens and the ducks have been enjoying the warmer (40’s-50’s) weather.

Cody is officially on spring break - and reminds me of that at least 3X each day *LOL* He is so excited to not have to go to school. Such a change from last year. He would cry if I kept him home sick or if he didn’t have school that day. This year he wants to throw a party on the teacher work days *LOL* He will be getting his fill of playing DS, Playing the Wii and sleeping in this week :) His birthday is coming up (4/3) and he keeps telling me who he’s inviting to his party (Several school friends) - where his party is going to be (Chuck E Cheese) and what kind of cake he is having (Super Mario) It’s entertaining that he has everything planned now - before he was happy he got to eat cake *LOL* now he has specific things he wants to do :)

OK get ready for this…
<start panic attack> <paper bag> <breathe in> <breathe out>
</breathe out> </breath in></toss paper bag> </end panic attack>

Jay bought a bike. Not a peddle bike a motorcycle. I know - scary huh?! Uggg anyways he got a pretty good deal on an ‘05 Honda Rebel. It’s kind of a burnt orange color (I’ll post some pics soon) and he likes it. He’s still in the learning stage of riding it but once he gets it down it will be way better than the van on gas mileage! He filled it up from 1/2 tank and it cost $3.26 - I filled the van from 1/2 tank and it was $25! Massive difference.
