Bunkbeds for chickens....

                                        Feeling much better today-almost good as new.Okay good as a new 40 yr old with an extra 60 lbs and bad knees can feel, but better than Saturday sooo ,good as newer used! Made the chicks and duckies oatmeal and bananas w/honey for breakfast even felt inspired to do my eyebrows,that is another blog all on it's own.Didn't mind the time change at all, I really enjoyed the lengthened evenings and the chance for us to luxureate in the twilight hours. Edd's 1st day of Automotive was a blast, he really loved it (total turn on for me-love me a grease monkey!)and obviously inspired him to bigger and better in other areas too. DIRTY MINDS! I meant the chicken house!! LOL..  Spent the day playing phone tag with DCF phone nazis trying to establish Medicaid for the kids. Literally over 1 hour & 45 minutes on hold, HOLD! Edd doesn't qualify for a quality insurance for the family at work, I can't afford COBRA for all of us and the EX ,well...if you have 1-you KNOW.So medicaid it is. Not my favorite. Certainly not the most convenient (sort of convenience store convenient) insurance of the healthcare world. It's there, but oh it's gonna cost you-1 way or another.I pay taxes, so before anyone jumps on their soap box-this is my blog. If you can afford insurance-AWESOME, for those of us who can't show a little compassion ok?   I will do anything,yes anything,to make sure if 1 of my children are in pain or suffering that they are cared for.PERIOD. Managed to get Homeschooling done.Children have been so amazing about their chores and schoolwork since the move. It's eerie really. Gonna start "checking behind the rows" before bed soon.Lets see how many get that reference.So, got home an Edd ,now Daryll (thats another story) decides he want s to start on the hen house with the newly donated bunkbed carcass Kieren so generously coughed up.Basically you take the top part including the stairs/drawers compartment from the side and turn it upside down. Take apart all the shelving from drawers and remove drawers. With a lil shimmying and lil measuring, you wont even have to use more than a couple dozen nails/screws. I will post a pick of the work so far. Not only is it quality wood,it is somewhat pre-fabbed so it quik work too. It will have 6 nesting boxes for laying a front door for the roosting area (which will be like a giant birdcage) and a back door for gathering eggs easily from the nests.We are breaking down and recycling every part of the bunk bed. My son is having a wonderful time helping his Dad with the project and I honestly couldn't be prouder watching my hubby take the lead and teach my son how to be a man, a kind, strong, chicken loving man! We are exhausted, but full of energy. Edd keeps giving me these slow, lazy, loving looks and I just nod, cause I know what it's for. We are a team. A damned good team. We bring out the best in each other. Sometimes the worst too, but it's days like today when we've worked til 2 hrs past dark w/o dinner and we stink and we can't keep our eyes open that we love each other most.Right now we are at our sexiest.Wierd huh? Guess what?  Tonite as the last of the sun was fading from the sky and we started turning on our lanterns to strike a few more blows towards our goal, my phlegmy throat gave way to a most impressive lugey. My hubby turned to me as I apologized for spitting and said,"baby, thats hot-no really it's kinda fu*!in hot".
Now THATS LOVE!
