Today has been one of those "Gloom, Despair, and Agony On Me" kinda days. I'm feeling very sorry for myself. I didn't get to go into work today, thanks to a continuing migraine and some really awful cramps and contractions. The doctor tells me to REST and just to take it easy. Bahahahahahahaha. That is like telling me to go climb Mt. Everest tomorrow. For one thing, with two little kids and one big kid, that is an impossible task. Aside from that, it's just hard for me to be still.
Enough complaining about me. We just acquired two new blue tick puppies that we are trying to house break. Yep, my fat pregnant self is cleaning up poop and pee every few minutes on top of everything else. They are sweet dogs though. Addie and Cy really needed them after they lost Ellie (our first blue tick) so suddenly. Maybe they will train easily and finish before the baby is born!
On the farming front, we have a sow due anytime to have a litter of piggies. This makes me excited! I love when the new animals are born. We are also incubating chicken and turkey eggs that should hatch in a couple of weeks. Addie Mae, aka Farm Princess, loves living on the farm and having all these animals. She is naturally good with them. I'm trying to tear Cy away from video games right now. I figure this summer I will have to lock him out of the house to keep him outside. Kids don't play outside enough these days. That's probably why juvenile diabetes is on the rise.
Ron has also been trying to get our corn in the ground, which has been nerve-racking. First, we dealt with trying to determine when the last frost would come. Then, it was too dry to plant. We prayed for rain. We got rain and started planting. Now, the planters broke and we had to buy a whole new set. Ron should be pulling in with the new ones any second. However, we have to wait on the ground to dry some because we had torrential rains yesterday. Farming is a gamble.
Through everything, I know that God is taking care of me and my family. I know that He has a purpose and a plan. I may not be able to see what that plan is yet, but I know there is one in place. So for now, I am trying to sit back and try not to do God's job.
Thank goodness. My plans always fail. :)
