Just Stuff

Ahhh, the joys of Oklahoma weather! Saturday evening as I sat and watched the wind and snowflakes swirl outside my window, I thought it quite ironic that I was still sunburned from two days before when we spent the day at the park! You just never know what the weather will do.
We enjoyed the weekend despite the snow. In fact, I really enjoyed it. My wonderful husband did the chores and milking for me on Saturday morning so I didn't have to go out in the weather. The girls had stayed the night with friends so the house was quiet. Strangely quiet.
But in a nice way :-)
I picked up the girls around lunch time and we did some grocery shopping at Wal-Mart. Morgan calls Wal-Mart "town" because almost every time I say we're going to go to town, we go to Wal-Mart. She always gets upset with me when we don't go to "town". Poor kid.
We watched movies in the evening and I made homemade chicken and noodles. They were so good, if I do say so myself.
On Sunday we spent most of the day with Hannah and Derric and the boys. We played cards, snacked and the guys practiced Jiu-Jitsu moves on each other. Later Hannah and I went to get pizza. It was a very nice weekend.
We do have a sick goat though. Foxy, one of our best girls has been sick for a couple of days.
The sudden weather change is difficult on the animals. She seems to be on the rebound, but I'm keeping a close eye.
We sold two of the baby bucks last week and have only 2 more to go. The 6 girls will stay.
I'm headed to Nowata to my friend Lisa's farm (Hedge Hollow) in the morning to start her DHIR testing. She was my tester in the past so it's my chance to return the favor. I always love getting the chance to spend time with her and her goaty girls. It's nice to look at some long-eared goats once in a while. She has a lovely herd of Nubians. And we always talk until I'm sure there's an oxygen shortage. I'm very blessed to have a close friend who understands my farm life.
Speaking of oxygen shortages,I spoke to Kelly today on the phone for 2 hours and 46 minutes. No, that's not a record or even really that long, compared to some phone conversations we've had. Although, I'm sure my children felt very neglected. Our husbands just shake their heads and roll their eyes at us. I think their used to it now. It is very hard being separated from each other. Twins just have a thing. She was very encouraging to me today, she just gets me and knows what I need to hear. Thanks Sis.
This evening will be a busy one. Besides chores and milking, my mother-in-law and I are starting a new workout. If the title has anything to do with how intense it will be, I'm more than a little scared. It's called Nsanity. Buuuuuut, we're suppose to see FANTASTIC results in just 60 days. Lord help us.
Shaun is at the fight club, so at least he won't witness our first attempt. He started it this morning before work. I was sleeping ;-D
This morning I awoke with absolutely no motivation to do anything. And the list of things I needed to accomplish was long. But my Facebook friends helped me out by sending me encouraging replies to my status. Thanks FB friends. It's nice to know you care. I didn't get everything done, but I put a dent in it.
Well, time to get on with it.
