this is bad even for me

well you all know how much i HATE to clean
ok that isn't exactly right
i hate to declutter
i LOVE to clean grout with a toothbrush
but i hate to declutter

i am doing the porcelain end of the studio
i swear there is dust there from the pharaohs
inches and feets worth of it too

in one box i found the following....:(will someone tell me what it MEANS?)
christmas cards
a sewing button hole placement tool
glue
a pair of pliers
dollhouse miniature making supplies
finished product
soap
a tin of hand balm
a charcoal pencil
pink pearls
fabric dye

i think it was supposed to be all dollhouse miniature supplies
i wouldn't have been surprised to see jimmy hoffa surface in that box,
or an orangutan

and all THAT was under about 6 inches of dust bunnies......
now i realize that those dust bunnies are that large only since we got long haired cats
(they don't 'shed' my assets.......... they shed two cats worth a day)

i was properly grossed out and seriously ashamed
now while i was hanging my head in shame
i found a really cool decorative edge scissor i didn't remember i had
hahahahaha
i wouldn't have found it if i HADN'T been hanging my head in shame


maybe this was meant to be????


now in the continuing saga of duckie dilemmas...........

i put momma in the A frame today, after she spent the night solo in her own crate
put a heaping bowl of food in there
full bucket of water
she had sun, she had shade, she had more worms then any duckie could possibly eat in one day
i put the other girls in the day pen by the house and falstaff in the old duck pen

i came in and struggled with dust bunnies bigger then me

at 5pm more or less, i went out to bring everyone in as we had to go out tonight

imagine my surprise when i opened the door and there was momma!!!!!!!!!!

she was so grateful to see me she came running over!!!!

MOMMA DUCK RAN OVER TO ME BY HER OWN FREE WILL!!!!!

i asked her how she'd gotten out
she didn't say ( she was too tramatized, and besides, she isn't as chattery as my other girls are..... the other girls after all had a jersey girl for a mom and a jersey boy for a dad.... us jersey folk.....we TALK)

i went down to her pen to see how much food she'd eatten out of her bowl, as that would be a good indication of how long she'd been out

apparently since the second i shut the door behind me
not one crumb of food was touched
oye

i had no choice but to put everyone to bed
but tomorrow she stays in this pen here
the other two girls go into the a frame
and falstaff does his falstaff thing out back

and speaking of that damn drake
good thing i have the VIDEO of him bathing
as i can NOT get his feathered butt back into the ponds

oye

it's not easy being a duck mom

til next time

vi
