So its Friday..thank you Friday for being Friday..I needed you! ....
Last night was a adventure.... my hubby and brother and SIL ...nephew Colt..and Jake graciously took the kids went off to pick up 6 bottle calves for us to start feeding and raise for beef... I don't think I have ever felt richer than when we filled our freezer up last August with Beef...Pork...chicken...lamb....well..its less than half full and we have a piggy that will be butchered on 9/11..the irony I know...and we have a few lambs that will be getting butchered too..I've found out..Lamb isn't too bad when its cooked right...no ground though..NO!...and now feeding out a calves... its just so nice to have the meat out there and cuts your grocery bill down plus.. its not as expensive either..and its a slow expense...
BUT ANYWAYS... they set out to pick the calves up....I was at my parents childless odd I know...and so Jess got her keys to her house and I was excited to go see it.... I'm a horrible aunt to by the way.... as me and Syd are hanging on the couch she falls and gets a little goose egg on her forehead....then when we are outside in front of her new house she is walking around and falls down in the drive way and gets a sizable goose egg in the middle of her forehead... I then took her straight to her car seat and said you are staying here till its time to go..My Mom joking sang to her..."somebody is ready for bed, Somebody bumped her Head"...and I added..."Somebody's gonna have to wake you up every 2 hours b.c. of a concussion".... one good thing... Syd didn't hold it against me..she still loves me... I'm going to really miss her when she isn't back at my parents to steal... but I went home around 8ish 9ish? ....end up sitting down on couch fell asleep till Jake & kids got back at 11....lol... got a little nap to be ready to feed the babies and and instead of 6 he brought back 7 calves
But this time we got bottle calves..last night as we fed I thought...this sucks...waking up at 530 to feed snot nosed silly cows...I thought this sucks... I'll probably feel this way over the next few weeks... until we don't have to bottle feed..its kind of funny the zoo we have at our home..but hey... when we are enjoying home grown steak and hamburger roast and whatnot... it all pays off...
Another PLUS PLUS PLUS....I'm still in disbelief actually.. Sondra went over to my cousin Megan's(usually refer her as Megpie) house to play with her daughter for the day and she ended up sending me home with some maternity clothes and also she told me I could have her car-seat/stroller and pack and play when the baby is born..her Ryker should be done by the time baby comes... seriously... that is a huge relief...I can't believe it.. I've been stressing about that....and it was a answered prayer...she is a angel and so generous..I'll always be her girl..kinda like Taty butt was my side kick..I was hers..and how Sondra is Taty's...its a never ending process..I really wish MegPie lived closer..I make trips over there but still I wish she could babysit the baby in march... :(...

Here is another: after work today I'm going to go pick up a breast pump.... now breastfeeding is something I never gave a try because I really didn't have to..but this time around...I need to give my best effort and try to breastfeed for financial reasons... I'm not going to exclusively breastfeed..I'll probably mostly in the beginning but once I get my "supply"..I'd like to pump... I'll be honest... maybe its a immature thing..but I don't "fancy" a kid hanging off my tit... I just..doesn't sound like my kind of thing...but you know its free...its natural...and I'm going to try...everyone that i have talked to that has tried has said they wished they would have "tried" longer or stuck with it...so why not lets try people!.... so I found a pump at a reasonable price... and I'm going to give it a try..
So tonight we have some Nungester Cousins coming over to help feed the calves..so it shall be fun..I'm going to run home...clean up the kitchen bathroom and living room as much as possible!!! oh well the life of Joie..cleaning just isn't in my repertoire...but it will be this weekend on Saturday... on Monday we have a appraiser coming to the house.. so I gotta kick it in high gear...
