How many times have I told me friends, it's easier to ask Hubby for forgiveness rather than permission? A TON! Just ask him and he'll tell you about the goat, chickens, ducks, and cats (which I didn't get, by the way) I've finagled myself into getting for the "kids."

So when my silkie chicken hatching eggs arrived today, he was pleasantly surprised. Well, I guess "pleasantly" isn't really the right word to use but he was "surprised." No matter what he says, we DID have a conversation about allowing the little punks to go through the process of hatching eggs. We've done it before and they loved it. I liked it a little, too. OK, OK, I liked it a lot. For cryin' outloud, I'm addicted to that damn egg cam! What's a girl to do besides hatch her own?!

I can't help it if Hubby's been having senior moments lately and has a major case of CRS (can't remember schat), 'cuz that's my story and I'm sticking to it. We did talk about it, probably a long time ago - possibly before having kids - but I know I did talk to him about this current egg project. But alas, I'm still begging for forgiveness as I've surpassed the point of permission. Afterall, I just don't go for the whole permission thing anyway.

I'll post updates periodically on our little critters. If all goes well, this batch will hatch in just about three weeks or so. I'm concerned how the eggs will fair as they were shipped all the way from Georgia and the USPS totally manhandled the package and several were broke. I've had good luck in the past with shipped eggs, so keep your fingers crossed.
