This Week's Chore Checklist

Goats-

*Finish stanchion (check! Thanks, Bill)

*Build another new goat pen (double check)

*Try milking Blue

*Soak Chardy's left foot

*Ivermectin (wormer/lice/flea treatment) shots all around, except for the tiny ones

*Forage for evergreen branches to feed goats (Done - brought home almost as much roadside trash as we did branches, but I feel like I did a good deed, and Livy helped.)

Chickens-

*Start new chicken coop (Started on 2/21)

*Set up brooder in anticipation of baby chicks' arrival (Due March 7th)

Bunnies-

*Clean hutch

*Empty poo bin into compost

Parakeets-

*Clean cage

House/Yard-

*Sweep/de-clutter porch

*Start veggie seedlings in hot tub room

*Haul up and stack firewood

*Rearrange Liv's room

All this in addition to dishes and laundry and the rest of the usual stuff. I find that making a list helps purge all of the swirling don't forget's and what was I supposed to do's? from my overwhelmed noodle. Then again, looking at a list like that can be rather daunting, so I'm making the girls pitch in a little more than usual to hustle us through this pre-Spring push. I've bribed them with a possible trip to Great Wolf Lodge (an indoor water park), depending on how well we all work together and get these chores knocked out.

Alright, now I just need to heave my tushie off of this couch and get crackin'. Bleh!
