Woke up early and fixed bacon and eggs and toast started sunny side up we had scrambled instead
Chance: Don’t think this looks right
Me: can you do better
Chance: about time you ask
He got up and said now watch. They were perfect
Me: where did you learn to do that, you got a new job now eat
Chance: Mom showed me how and let me fix breakfast sometimes. She said she didn’t want me to be like you because I would starve, you couldn’t boil water
Me: do you think you could have told me
Chance: Nope
Finished breakfast, did dishes got ready you go feed horses
Chance: Why don’t we use the dishwasher? It’s easier
Me: I don’t know how
Chance: I could show you that was one of my chores for mom
Me: don’t you think you could have mentioned that too? What else can you do?
As he ran out of the Kitchen laughing
Chance: Don’t you wish you knew?
Me: are going to help me feed
Chance: I’m waiting for you
Me: you going like that
Chance: It’s Saturday, I’m grounded, so yep (and out the door, he went wearing no shirt, no socks, no shoe, just shorts)
Me: Boy, it’s 40 degrees. Get something on
Chance: why
Me: I could explain
Chance: I’m good
I went out and start the side-by-side Chance came out wearing a hoodie and shorts, no shirt no socks no shoe.
Me: really
Chance: it’s Saturday
Me: Fine
We feed and waited for the horses to finish turned them out Chance went and got the skid steer. We cleaned stalls, then bottle feed a calf born yesterday the mom left. Cleaned the shop
Me: you want to go to the city after we finish?
Chance: Please don’t start that, dad it was almost like a normal day you had to mess it up
Me: I just ask
Chance: no
Had lunch Bologna sandwich and Dr. Pepper. Decided to clean cattle pens Chance back on the skid steer cleaning the ally ways He is supposed to be grounded, but he is having way too much fun, so not sure how well this is working given extra chores that he likes doing. He looks like someone’s little orphan. He is so dirty from head to toe, his feet are black his blonde hair is brown. I took a hose to him before taking a bath and still had a ring on the tube. Who knew one little boy could get so dirty? Took half an hour to detangle his mop (hair). He never said a thing about his mom. Frozen pizza for dinner. Guess uneventful day, which was nice. We watched a movie well as always Chance got her throw and got in her chair and fell asleep. I know it’s a bad habit started, but took him in my room to sleep. I guess it’s not knowing what happened at his window has got me jumpy I still think a raccoon, but scared to take a chance on it being her
