Awww! Poor chick! It was probably going to get pecked to death some how some day. Your daughter just saved the chick some from pain and suffering.
Is it wrong that I just laughed at the chick incident? Yeah. Well, I’ve already been told I’m going there. And like you, I always point out that my husband has more gray (and white) hair than me. He appreciates it.
I also cried 340987420957 tears when I read about that poor little chick. There must be some sort of unnatural coupling between that number and chicks.
I’m beginning the 30 day shred today. I just took my before pictures.
I suppose it would be counterproductive to just start eating ice cream after looking at the photos.
I like this numbers thing, I might have to try it out!
Sorry about the baby chick…but that was hilarious. Baby calve and baby chicks? My kids would be in heaven!

that goes on a lot in my home, too. Yay for only a few more days of The Duty!
Sorrow about that chick! Such sorrow! But what a fun place to live with all the birthing and jury duty and such!
Ahttp://www.. you named the calf after my daughter! How sweet of you! 🙂 My kids would LOVE to have these experiences and I’ve long wished to live on a self-sustaining farm. And then I think about how much work it is!
In all seriousness, I’d like to thank you for your thoughtful blog comment to my post on Sunday. It means a lot to me that you were willing to reach out and share your experience with me. So, thanks.
Baby chicks and anew calf. I think I want your life 🙂
Happy spring to you too.
I SHOULD NOT be laughing at the fact that your daughter sat on and KILLED a chick.
But I am.
I hope she recovers.
And THREE weeks left? Hasn’t it already been at least two? And wasn’t it supposed to be four total?
OMG. I know I am way late, but she killed a chick! OMG! I mean, it’s totally sad and traumatic, but wow. I laugh at inappropriate things, it’s how I cope. And if it had been MY kid that sat on a chick? Oh, the laughter.
But seriously. Give her a hug from me.
