I need to backtrack a bit first, though. The girls went on a field trip with their 4-H club today to see High School Musical on Ice in Green Bay (about a 2 hour drive from here). I had to drop them off at the neighbor's house down the road at 7:45 this morning and they got on the school bus with the rest of the 4-H club to see the show. Seeing as 4-H has so much to do with animals, I told the girls to talk to the other kids and parents and see if anyone is looking for a goat. Turns out one of the kids said their grandpa was looking for a female goat. Apparently, one of his milking goats recently passed away, so he needs another that can be milked. Bambi is not "fixed" so she can be bred and then milked. She's just the right age, too, as she's just going to be two this year. Wahoo!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm SO excited! Please, keep your fingers and toes crossed that "grandpa" will take Bambi for us! Best of all, he's close enough (within about 30 miles or so) that we can visit Bambi whenever we want and can even hang out with her babies! That would be such a GREAT ending!!!!!
I suppose ya'all are wondering about the "mutiny" I mentioned in the title. Well, that's just a little family "issue" we're dealing with right now. Aaron bought a Nintendo Wii for himself back in September. Now, Aaron owes us a chunk of change for his car, license, title, insurance, cell phone, etc. He wants to buy a laptop for himself, but he's not allowed to buy that until he has us paid off.
Apparently, there are NO Wii's to be found within a 100 mile radius of our home and there are boatloads of folks willing to pay top dollar for them . . . you see where this is going? Yep, Aaron has decided to sell his Wii and make about $100 profit. He really wants to get us paid off so he can save for his laptop!
So, what's the big deal you ask? Well, the girls are TICKED! They play with the Wii as well, and it's the only thing that keeps Aaron off the kids' computer so the girls can go on. Abby is fit to be tied and is having a hard time grasping the concept that Aaron bought the Wii with his own money so he can do what he wants with it. She, of course, doesn't have any money, but she's desperately looking for stuff that she's bought out of her own money to sell to come up with money to buy her own Wii!
Erica's just ticked, because she figures that Aaron will be on their computer even more now, seeing as he doesn't have the Wii to play with! So, it's a little girl mutiny in the Mik Household!
I'm pretty sure I can deal with it, though . . .As the hamburger is cooking for the tacos we're going to have for dinner, I'm watching the movie Miracle, which is the story of the 1980 US Olympic Hockey Team . . . you know . . . where our guys WON the gold medal, against all odds. I've never seen the movie, even though it's rather old, but it's a really good movie and I'm thoroughly enjoying it!
I'm not sure if I mentioned this earlier, but we're finally getting some COLEMAN products in our store! Wahoo!!!!!!!!!!!! We weren't able to get them earlier for various reasons. I called our salesman yesterday and it's entirely possible that we'll have them in our store this week. I'll find out more information on Monday, but I'm totally psyched to be able to get Coleman's products in our store! As soon as they're in, I'll be sure to let everyone know!
So, that's the latest update . . . a "normal" day in Mik Land! Isn't that cool!!!!!
Hope everyone else has a normal day!
Julie
