We are at my Mom’s house in the Middle Of Nowhere, Oklahoma. We stayed our first few nights in a cabin at a park nearby and the rest of the time we’ll be here. It’s nice not having to be anywhere.
My Mom has chickens. Chickens that will eat anything, including meat. That is just creepy. When we go outside, I’m always watching to see if the chickens are loose and do I need to run. I warned Mom that she better watch out – she may go out there to sprinkle corn on the ground and they might rush her just to knock her to the ground and eat her alive.
After Sweety and the boys go home next Monday, my niece is going to stay with me an extra week while I run around Texas visiting friends. Yay! I’ll take her home on Friday and I’ll get to see her compete in a swim meet on Saturday. I haven’t seen her swim yet and I’m excited to see that.
And my nieces and nephews will finally all get to meet! Normally, I see Sylvie for a week and then visit my niece and nephew in TX the next week after I’ve dropped her off. They’ve always been curious about each other so that will be cool too.
Well, hell. Sweety is giving me grief about falling off my diet and eating Mexican food today and I told him earlier that I’d go for a fucking walk. It’s hot out there, people. I don’t want to go. But if I don’t, he’s going to walk around chanting “loser”. Better go find my sneakers.

I didn’t know they’d eat meat either! For some reason, knowing that makes me to not want to eat their eggs.

I knew pigs and cows and animals like that would eat meat; but I had no idea that chickens did too. Do they have a favorite meal or will the eat anything?

They will eat anything. We have any leftovers and they go into the pen and the chickens chow down. They get chicken feed too but they really like the leftovers.
