The bank called Wednesday to see if I could help them out on Friday. Of course, I could help them out, not knowing I would be felling like crap. Than on Thursday the boss calls and want to see if I will work till 6:00, instead of 4:00, I am a sucker I cant say no. Boy, it was a long day.
My plans for Saturday was to get up and go to the gym but my chest was so congested, I decided just to take it easy this weekend. Wouldn't you know it Sunday we spring forward 1 hour, so we lose 1 hour of sleep. I'm thinking that's ok, because I'm not going to the gym anyway.
Normally I'm always up before my husband, because I go workout in the mornings. This morning I heard the hubby get up and go outside to do chores. I just rolled over and went back to sleep which is something I don't do very often. I don't know how long he had been gone, but the phone rings I new it had to be hubby. I was just wanting to sleep in. He needed me to come out to the barn and bring a jug full of hot water and some dry clothes for him. We are calving now and it can be long and tiring hours. I'm thinking all I wanted to do is sleep in. Darn it.
So I get up and took him what he needed. When I get out there he is trying to get a baby calf to suck it momma, but it is not going very well. He finally got the baby calf to suck, which is great otherwise we have to bottle feed it twice a day. Here is a couple of pictures of the baby calf that was born this morning.

I'm not complaining, it just that I am a planner of my day. So sometimes I struggle when I have down to do this and he calls and needs me to do something else. That's life and I am still trying to do better about having my daily plans interrupted. I'm work in progress.The main thing is he gets to do what he loves which is farming. It not a 9-5 job where you come and go, but we wouldn't trade this life for anything. I have a great husband and two awesome boys.My boys are planning to come back home after college and help their Dad farm. So it truly will be a family farming business. How sweet is that. So, that about sums it up how my weekend has gone so far.
How's your weekend going ?

that calf is so cute! I remember as a little girl in my jammies with feet going to see horses birthing in the mare barn. Awesome memories :)
ReplyDeleteSo sorry you are not feeling well. It seems like this year was really bad as far as flu and cold bugs go. We are on the mend but I am still tired often.
This week I want to run. Its supposed to be warm all week and I just need to get back out there.
I have a hard time with change of plans but work at it. Its hard to let go when you put so much energy into thinking and planning. Hope you feel better soon :)
The calf is so cute! I remember being in WI and hearing various friends talk about how they had to go out and help calve during the night or that they wanted to go home early to see if the new one arrived yet. It can wreck havoc on a planner's schedule though.
