I've neglected this space for a long while now. Most of what has been going on in my life lately was not very...homesteady and definitely not drunken! I'm pregnant and the truth is, pregnancy sort of bums me out. I guess I get the opposite of post-partem depression. Once the baby arrives I usually snap back to my old self pretty quickly. This pregnancy has been especially challenging. I had a string of medical problems during the first trimester that have completely thrown us off our game as far as home made living goes. Our garden has been neglected. No canning and preserving have been done. I haven't made yogurt or bread in forever! We are in the new place now, and have been for a few weeks. It's amazing out here! I can't stop daydreaming about next years garden, chicks in the spring, and goats! Oh I just can't wait to get goats! But for now I have to accept the fact that I feel pretty lousy most days, and am lucky just to get the dishes and laundry done, and feed my family a healthy meal or two each day. I feel my energy slowly creeping back now that I've passed the first trimester. I just have to say that I'm glad baby will be here before spring so I don't miss the growing season! I hope all of your gardening and homesteading adventures are going well,
and if not, you're in good company. We'll get our groove back soon enough!
