I never thought I would see the day

We had a busy day yesterday. Between dropping off and picking up chickens and my two meetings I barley was home. My wonderful husband picked the chickens up from school as I had a CPR class to take, just a side not for those of you who don't know what CPR is it is short for Chickens Personal Rights. So I was at my "Chickens Personal Rights" class learning how to save our youngest chicken if anything happened and he stopped breathing, as breathing is a "personal right" of a chicken, got it? Moving on. I was at my CPR class and Coby was taking care of the chickens back at the coop. I came home from the CPR class for a few minutes only to leave again for another meeting. A 'FOC' meeting, "Friends of Chickens" in case you did not know. So again my wonderful husband stayed at the coop to corral the chickens. When I arrived home the chickens were just about ready to go to bed so we said our chicken prayers and tucked them in their chicken beds. As I went about the coop I found and interesting little curl in our bathroom and just feet away from that said curl was a pair of my hair scissors. Now at first you may wonder just who could have committed this 'hair cutting scissor using" crime, but with my super crime fighting skills I got to the bottom of it. you see we only have 5 chickens in our home, so it was simply a process of elimination and it went a little something like this...
Brittany...already committed the 'hair cutting scissor using' crime when she was 5. Shes out.
Justin...already committed the 'shirt cutting scissor using' crime when he was 6. Hes out.
Michael...never touches things he is not supposed to. Hes out.
Mikayle...too short to touch the counter to get said scissors to commit the 'hair cutting scissor using crime'. Hes out.
That leaves us with one little chicken. One little Curly headed Chicken. One little Curly headed, does not like to listen and obey Chicken. One little Curly headed does not like to listen and obey, likes to touch things she shouldn't chicken. in case you are still confused I am talking about Rebekah, Chicken number four. The child I have to constantly tell to say to me "thank you Mommy for this opportunity to listen and obey." instead of pout and throw a fit. Yes, that chicken. When she emerged from her little chicken bed this morning I examined her and found that yes she did in fact get my scissors and cut one big fat curl off her beautiful little chicken head. Does EVERY chicken have to commit this crime!?!?!?!

I am waiting the day, when my little Maggie decides to commit that crime. As of now, she seems to think it hurts to get her hair cut. So, I guess I am safe for now, but it is only a matter of time!

I am going to start using your line "thank you mommy for this opportunity to listen and obey." Maggie and Rebekah are so much alike, its scary. Your blog is great, it makes me laugh and reminds me that I am not the only mom that lives this crazy life! LOL!
