Problems Already

Okay.. I can't figure out how to get back here LOL. Ah well.. for the moment I'll go through via a friend's blog and get back here. Felt like poo the pasts couple of days which is always a fabby way to start off the new year.. NOT. But this too shall pass. Rob's feeling horrible too, but he can't hang out and sleep like I can and I feel so guilty about that. So, so guilty. He shouldn't have to go to work feeling like crap, when I've been able to sleep most of the day and all night too. Sigh. He should be able to take off too. He shouldn't have to carry all of this on his back, but he has to.

And the whine is over.. I mean it :) I get sick of myself quite often!! I've got some good ideas going for the soap business. I'd like to get a batch done tomorrow. Cold process will be the way to go I think, the bar is a lot harder, it's lighter in color and just feels better. It doesn't smell as much though. I'm going to play with it a bit and see if I can make some better. I really want to have a hundred or so bars made up for the beginning of spring to take to the flea market in Ft Smith. We'll have some baby pigs for sale then and I'd like to take them there too. I also have a recipe or two for lotion and I'd like to price some out to see if it's feasible to make. I'd like to make it and sell it along with the soaps for the Insanity Acres label. I have some ideas for a website.

I'd like to make a cutesy website for my soaps showcasing the farm because it is beautiful using the ladies as a big part of the website because it is with their milk that I am using to make the soaps. It's about to be spring and the babies will be hitting the ground and so will fresh milk! Man, I'm looking forward to that! I use frozen milk for gm soap, but I drink goat's milk and make cheese with it and I miss that a bunch! I'm also planning on rendering the lard from the pig we had butchered last fall and I'll be using that lard in the soaps I use lard in. I wonder if putting pictures of them and stating that the lard I use in the soap is also from the farm would be a selling point or not? hmm, something to think about. I really want to learn to market and sell the items I can make from my homestead.

Elijah and I did our Bible reading tonight. He was going to skip it because he wanted to play with legos, I decided to go with him and I'm glad I did. I really am praying that God continues to fill me with this desire to stay close to Him by reading His Word daily.

All in all a decent day.. gotta get better tomorrow. Going to crochet now.
