Cleaning House

Seriously wondering if my super crappy vacuum cleaner is picking up any dirt or paper particles AT ALL.  However, the vacuum marks on the carpet do make it look like I care…….which I do. Once upon a time I scrubbed my floors at least once a week, vacuumed on my way out the door so…

Micro

Once upon a time, long before we moved to Maydelle, there sat a house near our chicken pen.  The house is no longer there but we still find things left behind.  Addie found this yesterday……. I couldn’t grow a fern and mushroom in a glass jar if I tried.  And they just did it themselves!…

Awards

I have this thing with technology.  You see, it doesn’t love me.  I recently was able to switch phones and received my first picture text EVER on Wednesday.  However, this lovely purple-clad electronic device knows more about life in 2014 than I do.  And the mere fact I have this blog is a wonder, I…

I wonder……

If you eat Banana Pudding at 5:45 in the morning then again at 8:15 followed by another serving at 10:00 is that considered one breakfast?  Or is it breakfast and brunch?  Or maybe breakfast, a snack and THEN brunch?  Or if you eat the same thing each time, in a 4.5 hour block, does it…

Lone Nut

Ever feel like you are the lone nut on the crazy path of life? No? I guess it’s just me.  I’m totally okay with being the lone nut. Until a squirrel comes along. Then again, it’s Monday and we are all nuts. Have a great week fellow nuts! 🙂 (and I am calling you all…

Soap Thief.

As you, my fair readers know, I try to keep things here at The Wicked Chicken, happy and carefree.  But something happened today that really irritated me.  A person (and I know who) stole this from the bathroom where I work.  “Black Cherry Merlot Foaming Hand Soap” from Bath and Body Works. Since I work…

A Brief Thought

I haven’t had much time to write this week, no time actually.  But I did manage a thought.  I find it very funny that when people find out you homeschool, their initial reaction is always (at least in my experience) something along the lines of “How is she going to make friends!?”,  “Aren’t you worried…

Wicked Walk 10/8/2014

Today was a special day!  My little sister, who has been globe-trotting for about 5 years, flitted down at home base for awhile and came to walk with me.  I rarely take people with me when I walk, and have never taken another adult, so I made sure she knew how lucky she was!  (that…

Coffee

I jotted down this silly poem about my favorite beverage awhile back, and considering it is National Coffee Day, I thought I’d share it with you.  Now, go brew a cup, pour a cup and drink a cup.  I’ll join you in spirit.  Happy Coffee Day! Coffee Coffee in the morning, Coffee in the night,…

Last of the Feathers.

Once upon a time, in a galaxy far, far away, there lived a crazy person who thought pet turkeys would be the most. Awesome. Thing. Ever. Pet turkeys she acquired.  Awesome they were not. Here is what it left of the Great Turkey Experiment. A feather. Addie has a thing for feathers. And cameras.  Oh…
