OMG, my fat a*s makes it's debut on the web in the form of a picture. DD & I volunteer at an alpaca farm every other weekend. I work with special needs kids at a local high school. Us aides take the kids out to job sites. Last year was the first year that we took them to an alpaca farm. I took DD to the open house the farm had in October. After visiting the open house, DD asked if we could come & take care of the animals when I had her. Not being able to say 'no' to my kid, I said sure. Man, I really need my head examined.
At the open house and though out the year, the owner took pictures. Well, he got me a couple of times. I'm in a dark purple shirt and a light purple shirt. The name of the farm is Bent Pine Alpacas. You can then put the .com after the name. There is no spaces between the words. Look under the photos. DD also made it in one photo but you can't see her face.
Yikes, Legomom--tough day? Breathe--he'll be a great adult.
My Daddy always said--"Love as much as you can when they are young, because you'll need that love to keep you from killing them when they are teenagers."
LegoMom, craigslist is a good idea, but don't have the cash right now. Still need to get my daughter a laptop for college. That's got to come 1st.
There is always the free section in Craigslist, too. Keep an eye on that. Dh found lots of stuff for the chickens doing that.
.....MY turn to rant (and I've always wanted to use that smiley!...who isn't exactly smiling, however...).
I have nothing specific to say, I just need a place to go and scream my head off.....
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrgh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm not sure I'm going to survive the teen years of my first kid....He's not even officially there yet and I'm done! Right now, if I could ship him off to his grandparents, I would. Awful, huh??! Or, maybe I just shouldn't care so much. I mean, if I don't care what he does or how he behaves, then I wouldn't be so mad, right?!
Done.
Done, done, done.
Ka-put.

I don't see an "open house" area but I found photos. Are you kissing an alpaca?

:No. In one pic, I'm far away standing by another lady, my next door neighbor, at a fenced in area where a guy in a hat is talking to us. I have a light purple shirt and tan shorts on. Another one, I'm looking away with two kids there. Those are the kids I took. I have a purple shirt and black pants. The third one I'm holding a bucket, looking down & talking to the one girl I took. I look horrendous on that one.![]()
...I take terrible photos though. Usually I am the one behind the camera and if I ask someone else to take a pic, I have to explain something to them and they usually take the pic as I am talking. I end up looking awful....I look terrible.
...I end up looking awful. I think both the pics of me with my daughter in her cap and gown, I look terrible....
