Hello all :-D
The hens are fine. Still not together all of the time but we are getting there slowly but surely. I am hoping that by the weekend I will be able to remove the Eglu run and have them all in together full time. Nerve wracking stuff though!! lol
I realised that the hen trouble has stopped me posting Emmie's answers to the 'smacking' topic. Now I can't even find the paper which the answers were written on!!!!!! Never mind. lol lol I have probably put them somewhere really 'safe'!!
I used to laugh at my Mum for being so disorganised. Her filing system was a big pile of papers down beside her chair and if ever she needed to look for something she would sift through the papers until she found it.
I have always been Miss Organised! I always hought that it was important to know where everything is and to be able to access it easily.
I have always had folders and files so that everything is where it should be.
2 children, 3 cats, 1 dog, some hens and everything else later I realise that I loose everything!!!!! I do not file anything away, instead it is poked into some drawer or cupboard never to be seen again!! I am sooo disorganised and have so many things filed in different places that when I need to look for something it could be anywhere in the house.
Just to think-I used to laugh at my Mum's big pile of papers and tell her that she needed to file things properly, but at least she always knew where to look and always found what she was looking for!! Mmm, shame on me!!! LOL LOL
I did feel really good about her answers though. She is a level headed little girl.
Bearing in mind that as Emmie has got older she rarely, if ever, even gets a smack.
She seems to understand that people who she knows hate smacking children. Her answers were so good it made me feel that I am not doing too bad afterall. lol
If (IF) I ever find the piece of paper I will put her answers on here but I would like to point out that the paper could possibly be somewhere so safe-it could take years!! ;-)
I have just read a fantastic book by the way. It is called 'I'm ok, you're ok!' and is written by a man called Thomas Harris. (Same name as the man who wrote Silence of the lambs, but is not the same man!)
What a good book! It is about human psychology which is a subject I find fascinating.
It explains how the brain records every single thing which happens to us in our lives. It then points out how every single thing makes us who we are. It talks about how every human has three parts to them. The Child, the Parent, the Adult. These words are used in reference to parts of us-not in the usual sense of the words.
Anyway, it is a great book to read if there are certain parts of your personality that you would like to change. Whether you feel you have an anger problem, a depression problem, a feeling of being weak etc. It shows you how to recognise different parts of your personality, to see which part of you (Parent, Adult, Child) causes this negative effect and then how to deal with it.
It is basically providing you with the tools you need to improve yourself and your own life. It also helps you to see other peoples different parts of their personality so that you can work out how to react to them and keep things harmonious without letting situations drag you down.
The Child part of us is everything we 'feel', the Parent part is everything we have been 'taught' and the Adult part is what we have 'learned'.
It really makes so much sense when you read it. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and after reading it you can start to see the different parts of people and how they switch between Parent, Child and Adult in a short space of time.
Here is a link explaining the whole thing better than I have been- http://www.businessballs.com/transactionalanalysis.htm
Right, that's about all for now.
Here are some pictures, I hope that you enjoy them :-)
