Long post and advice needed! Prayers are good too!

No more trips back and forth to the other house!  My dh had yesterday off (sort of)  and we moved the rest of the stuff over here.  Now our yard is full of stuff, the shop is full of stuff-not all ours- and the house is full of stuff.  How do you organize this mess?  The livingroom floor isn't completely sanded yet and I'd like to keep as much stuff out of it as I can.  Today is a day of unpacking and packing up stuff to sell at a moving sale. 


I need some advice.  At our old house all of our neighbors were at least 1/3 of a mile away.  We had goats, chickens and dogs all "free range".  One of the unforseen problems that we have here is that we're only 300 feet off of the county road.  Our dogs have been chasing cars.  They also went across the road to the neighbor's house and chased him!  (They don't know what a neighbor is.)  Our dogs aren't mean, but they have no business over there.  Didn't start our relationship off on a good note.  Also, my goats went over there Wednesday night and they wouldn't go home.  He just put in about $1.000  worth of new plantings.  I now have them in their pasture, but they keep finding new and innovative ways to get out.  And...as if that wasn't enough, the chickens don't want to stay in the barn and are staying in the shop where dh stores all of his equipment-now equiped with chicken poop.  Our barn is very air-conditioned and would take alot of work and money to reside.  I need to find a way to keep the birds on the other side of the yard where the barn is.  Help!  Our aim was to bring glory to God and we've brought aggravation instead.  My dh says that satan is working overtime on us.  Must be a reason for that.  God has allowed it, so I figure it's a refining time.  Please pray for me because I don't want to be anymore refined right now!

That really must be upsetting. It upsets me! I feel sorry for the poor animals being confused and I feel sorry for yall too. I wish I knew what the answer was. I hope the neighbors are very patient and understanding. Keep me posted!
