  • Marriage Is Ugly You See The Absolute Worst In Someone

    ‘Marriage is ugly, you see the absolute worst in someone.

     

    You see them when they’re mad, sad, being stubborn, when they’re so unlovable they make you scream. But you also get to see them when they are laughing so hard that tears run down their face, and they can’t help but let out those weird gurgling noises.

     

    You see them at 3am when the world is asleep except you two, and you’re eating in the middle of the kitchen floor. You get to see the side of them that no one else does, and it’s not always pretty. Its snorting while laughing, its the tears when it feels like its all crashing down, its the farting, its the bedhead and bad breath, its the random dances, its the anger and the joy.

     

    Marriage isn’t a beautiful thing, but it is amazing. It’s knowing that someone loves you so much, and won’t leave you even though you said something nasty. It’s having someone have your back no matter what. Its fights over stupid things, like someone not doing the dishes or picking up after themselves. And it’s those nights you fall asleep in each others arms, feeling like there will never be enough time with them.

     

    It’s cleaning up their throw up, or just rubbing their back when they’re sick. It’s the dirtiest, hardest, most rewarding job there is.

    Because at the end of the day you get to crawl into bed with your best friend, the weirdest, most annoying, loving, goofy, perfect person that you know.

     

    Marriage is not beautiful, but it’s one heaven of a ride.’ ❤️

  • I Will Not Be Working To Get My Body Back

    “No, no, you have it wrong, I will not be working to get my body back.

    She was never lost.

    She was here, giving every moment and detail to this sweet baby.

    She was pushed and exhausted, stretched and stripped to make space for a new life.

    Please stand back and aside.

    For her sacrifice she will not be scrutinized.

    She will be loved, and thanked and bowed down to.

    She will be allowed her time to heal and be settled into.

    This body’s work will not be forgotten, hidden or erased.

    And if you feel it should, you understand nothing about the gift she has given.

    No, no Body don’t listen. Because I see you. I thank you deeply. You did so good.”

    Tag a new mama.❤️

  • Help A Sheep Out And Tip It Back

    PLEASE EVERYONE TAKE NOTE!!!

    It’s very common at various times of year for sheep to get stuck on their backs and not be able to get back up again. This may look amusing to some people or perhaps people just don’t understand what is actually happening, but it is often fatal if left.

    Sheep can often get cast in this position, it causes them great distress as their bodies cannot function properly in this position. Just last week, while I was at work, I spotted one in the field next to the site that I was working on.

    Basically if left in this position they will remain there. This may happen for several reasons, the sheep may be very fat, pregnant or the fleece maybe very long or wet. It may even be just a rut in the ground that they’ve landed in when lying down or may have been resting then tried to scratch an itch, but it certainly won’t have got itself into that position on purpose. It’s like their centre of balance goes and it leads to a slow uncomfortable death.

    A sheep stuck on its back is vulnerable for a variety of reasons: Not only is it easy prey for crows, badgers or rogue dogs, but its own biology is also working against it.

    So what is the reason for this? Basically to digest grass, sheep have a four-chambered stomach. The largest chamber is the rumen, where their food ferments. The fermentation process produces gases which are normally released naturally by belching etc, at 1 or 2 minute intervals.

    When the sheep is the wrong way up the rumen is in the wrong place, the gas can’t escape, so then the pressure of gases and liquids build up around the esophagus, slowly suffocating the animal. At the same time there is pressure on the blood vessels depriving blood to vital areas. The combination of suffocation or a predator attack is pretty nasty, but, it’s easily avoided.

    If you act quickly when you see one you can save the life of the sheep. If you are walking with a dog leave it away from the sheep if you possibly can. Take a good hold of the sheep on the back by the fleece, then slowly roll/turn/lift the sheep over, help it onto its feet. Hopefully the sheep will also try to get up, but sometimes it may just roll back, possibly several times, but keep trying, maybe just hold it in an upright sitting position. Gradually it’s systems should recover.

    Once it’s up and about, watch it for a few minutes to make sure it stays on its feet, some times if you follow it slowly, making sure it walks around, it will help. Hopefully it will make a full recovery and there is no need to alert the farmer, but if it keeps falling over, let the farmer know.

    So please if you are walking through the countryside and you see this, roll the sheep over and get them back on their feet as soon as possible, as you may save their life!

    It surprises me how many people who live in rural areas aren’t aware of this, so please spread the message.
