• Tuesday, February 19, 2008 - Non productive day... so far!

The morning is gone.  Not sure where it went.  I guess I wasted most of it.  I did milk.  My cows decided to bless me with LOTS of milk.  Maybe the calves just couldn't quite handle all the excess from yesterday when my milker was down.  God is so very very good!  My DH got my milker working last night.  This morning I FILLED the milker. I thought the bucket was a 5 gallon bucket.  I was wrong.  I put 6 FULL gallon jars of milk in the refrigerator.  The thankful part is for some reason I decided to stop the milker. The cow still had milk, but I knew it was close to full so I cut it off.  When I opened it in the house I had less than 1/2 an inch of space left before it would have been sucking into the milking machine.  This is NOT a good thing.  My DH has to take the whole milker apart and clean it just like he did last night.  It is a BIG deal. 

 

I need to take milk to a friend tomorrow, or send it with my DH.  I hate sending milk on Wed. since it is his early day to go to town.  Early for him is leaving the house about 5:30 for a 6:30 meeting.   But, since I don't think I can get any more milk in the frig...... he may have to. 

 

This afternoon I need to get the living room clean.  It is getting over the clutter limit even for me.  Yea, that's pretty bad.  I have some boxes of stuff to give away, and some stuff that needs to go to my DIL and DS's house.  I have clutter from re-doing the computer.  I have stuff I am just not sure what I want to do with..... Bottom line is I have way to much STUFF! 

 

The weather people and the weather can't agree.  It is warm, sorta, 61.  But, cloudy and windy and generally yucky out.  The wind makes the house feel colder than it is.  I finally broke down and built just enough fire to warm it a bit.   It feels good.  The house was only about 70 inside.  I know I am a wimp!  But, kids were wrapped in blankets and we were all chilled.   So a house full of wimps!

 

 I bought cabbage and some other cold plants last week to get planted.  It is just to blaa to go do it outside.  I like gardening in the sunny warmth of spring.  I also turned the kids loose on the .10 cent rack.  They had lots of fun.   They will have lots of fun planting too.  Then watering.  The weeding, well it IS a good consequence for them when they are in trouble.  :)

 

Yes, I am setting here procrastinating getting stuff done.  I would rather go take a nap.   I don't see that happening either.  

 

Everyone have a blessed day and go out and bless someone else!

About Me

Just want to share the joys and tears of living in the country with others that understand them both. I am mom to 5 children. Two biological and three adopted. We are praying for one more adopted soon. We live 40 miles from town on 117 acres. My days are full of homeschooling children and dealing with livestock. Life is never dull or boring or "normal" what ever normal is. I ramble on here often, some times more than once a day as this is my main form of socialization with adults during the day. Hope to make some new friends here.
