The Daily Grind...it involved a duckling catch!

So I like going to work more so then being home, why? Well if go to work then I do not have to worry about doing as much house work...I am one of those people who goes from one chore to the next...with the first chore only partially done...I have lately realized I do this without even realizing it...I have a problem...On a side note we also have chickens and ducks and now one goose. The male decided to attack my car early Monday morning and didn't survive...I was pretty upset! So for fun I am out feeding them treats and scraps...Yea I know I am an exciting person! So anyways on to yesterday I got home from work and my mommy duck was missing! She had 4 little ones and now was down to three! I knew I couldn't catch them by myself so I had to wait till Nick got home from work at 8! Yea it was dark and I went and got the two big nets we had and realized they were under the pine tree. This is where it got interesting...I had to take off my cute flowy top because I didn't want a bunch of pine needles in it! I had a tank top on underneath it and as I start under the tree my hubby goes you know your gonna end up full of needles right. I was well aware of this, but saving those little babies was worth it! So I crawl under the tree and catch one and pass it to the hubby thinking he will put in in a pail or container till we can catch the other two. Well he put it in the net then I chased the other one out and he caught that one only to realize the first had escaped. Now the second one had to get its neck tangled and wasn't going anywhere till Nick untangled it! So after getting it free we realize the other two have made their run into the barn. I wigged my way back out from under the tree and we were off. I caught one and Nick made a grab and caught the other...he has long gorilla like arms...or is it monkey...well he looks more like a gorilla and has long arms, so he easily caught it! So I then went looking for a cage and he tells me they will have to stay in the garage because it would be to cold for them outside. So now there are three little ducks in the garage in a big blue bin. Oh and I didn't stick my hand in duck poop...I will just let you guess who did. I guess I am lucky to have a hubby who is willing to humor all of my insane plans. He is lucky to have a wife who cooks for him...so I guess we are even!
