We should be able to start painting the inside of our coop this week. I got my first birds in may. It has been a bumpy ride with them over all. So many obstacles and so much bad luck. But I won't give up. The project will take abit time, but we will makes it as good as we can. It is hard waking up without Dracula, and I can't buy eggs from store. I just can't. But we are already almost done with the walls and ceiling, so I can start chalking the walls and what not. And Jani (that's how Le dude is called) works long shifts, but still manages to push after work with my coop. This relationship is no fairytale, I'm no regular Princess and my Prince is covered in tattoos (so am I), smokes in chains and drinks like a machine. But he loves me and my sons and stands up for us no matter what keeps coming. And yea he drinks but not like the friend I told about. I can have 2 beers and I giggle. So anyone with better tolerance is a drinkin machine in my eyes. We have our problems like any couple, but he once told me somethin very eye opening. He said love does not need to be perfect, it needs to be unconditional, and it needs to be real. And if you need to force it, it is no love at all. And there it was. Wisest words I had heard in a long long time. I'd trust him with my life without blinking an eye any day. And if it wasn't for him, I'd be back in the hospital already.
