Another Day

I would like to come up with so many inspiring, clever antecdotes to encourage and make you all laugh, but, quite frankly, I am too tired and my head is spinning most of the day. How about if I just share with you my day, honestly and openly. It is now 10:43 (pm mind you, I never stay up this late, ever). I am only staying up because I thought my husband may need someone to talk to as he is driving home from a long trip this evening. Funny thing is, I haven't even called him yet and I am sure he thinks I am in bed. Computers anyway! I have been spending some time doing some of my "health research". We have had two winters of all of us being sick and I have gradually changed some things with our diet that have made a difference, so I have dedicated myself (as my family's caretaker:)) to research more on what I can do.
So much for telling you about my day, I have realized that when I am passionate about something it comes out in everything and I often come off as pushy. Oops. Well, let's see, my brain is so fried and can't even get back to lunchtime. Hmmm. Yes, here it is. I believe I woke up late, as a sick girl kept me up half the night. Ever notice sleeping in never produces the results you hope for? Anyway, I got girls started on school, showered, washed some laundry and then took advantage of an excuse to get outside and took the four-wheeler out to check the water tank and look at cows. We had lost a couple of calves from cows who aborted recently, so we have just been going through them all a little more thoroughly. This is usually the job of the 7 year old and occasionally the 12 year old, but they had a 4 wheeler incident yesterday and had no interest in tackling said job this day. "I'll go!" It was a beautiful morning, nice temps, beautiful blanket of snow and the sunshine was lovely. When I arrived back from this I had many household errands awaiting me, but I helped Mesa with her spelling instead. Next, get lunch ready. After lunch I used JD needing a nap as an excuse to lay down too, but with phone ringing, doors slamming and dishes being done downstairs I did not succeed. Finally, with the phone call that took my husband off to his journey that he just returned from, I went to track him down and ended up helping to feed cows, bulls, checked prairie dog traps, unloaded a ton of salt blocks, and then back inside. Whew, are we done yet? Plenty of other activity to round out my day leads me here, I should go look at those fancy new mamas going into the corrals...at 11:00 at night! LOL It wasn't too bad a day really, just busy!
