- Got up on time at 3:30. :)
- Put the coffee on, grabbed a can of Mountain Dew and headed to the barn.
- Arrived at the barn just after the birth of Halo's twins (1 doeling & 1 buckling)
- Moved Halo and the twins to the other barn.
- Went to milk barn and prepared everything for milking.
- Milked 18 does by hand.
- Prepared milk for all of the babies.
- Went to kid barn and fed 30 babies.
- You would think eating is a natural survival instinct, but one pen of babies is just not getting it. Had to bottle feed each one individually (on my lap).
- Milked down the new momma and made sure her babies had colostrum in their tummies.
- Went back to the doe barn, checked everyone one last time and opened the door to the pasture.
- Chrys started washing up from milking and feeding babies so I went to the house.
- Walked in the door and looked at the clock.......running 25 minutes late!
- Oh well...........take down the cheese that was draining and salted and seasoned (a new flavor I'm trying), put it in the press and then the fridge.
- Chrys comes in so I ask him to drain the other batch of cheese I had going.
- Jump in the shower.
- Put on my make-up and do my hair (this kind of "beauty" doesn't just happen...LOL).
- Get dressed.
- Head out the door.
- Had to stop and get gas because I was to tired last night to do it.
- My daddy and 2 neighbors were at the gas station and all wanted to visit.
- Ran into the store to grab me something to eat for breakfast.
- Got to work and clocked in..........ON TIME! :)
Now I can rest a little bit until 4:00 then it is time to head home and start all over again.......I LOVE MY LIFE! :)
