NEVER ENDING WORK

Hi everyone out there I know this is a strange time to be writing a post. But you see when your husband gets you up at 3:00 in the am to make his lunch it is not always easy to go back to sleep right away. Ya! that is right I do get up and make his lunch for him and make a pot of coffee for him before he goes off the work and wish him a go day and be careful for the day. I know that is old fashion but that is how I was raised. I was raised to get up with your spouse and see his off to work and make sure his lunch is done and he has not forgotten anything. Well that is sometimes he has not forgotten things but that was not the case this morning just as I was about to go back to bed I get this phone call and guess who it was! Yes it was my husband and he forgot a paper he needed for work this morning which had all the spot he needed to go to today and where he needed to drop the trailers at. So the good wife that I am I text message the whole paper with all the instructions on it to him it took 3 message to get all the info to him. By the time I was done I thought why should I go back Tobe at this point I am already awake and at 6:00 am he is going to be calling me to wake up and start my day which it already started at 3:00 am with him. funny how that works! When ever he is up he thinks I should be up and starting my day it don't matter that mine didn't end until 11:00 pm or even later than that due to restless legs and sore legs.Due to me falling down in the snow when I was helping our son up out a bale of hay for the cows. You see I don't know if you know I have arthritis in my legs and have a really bad knee that swells and gets very stiff especially in the cold weather or when we are going to have change in the weather be it for go or bad. It really sucks! I can't do all things I used to do and it makes it hard to do some of the chores here at the farm cause I can't squat or kneel down on my knees anymore. Or if I do get down I am not getting up anytime soon! That is the prime reason why I quit working at the gas station in October due to my legs hurting all the time because when I would finish work there I still had another 4 to 6 more hours of work at the farm and still had to cook supper for the family which meant more time on my legs. So by the time I would finish the day I could hardly walk. And I would have to start all over the next day and all I could think about is GREAT HERE I GO AGAIN! I know it sounds like I am complaining but you see I ended up with one of those nights with not much sleep and sore legs. Enough of that I think I will try to get some more sleep before husband calls.

POSTINGS

You know what! I just read my sister's blog tonight from last week and I do understand what she is meaning by feeling invisible to the world! I too feel like that especially when I put my thought down on this blog. I do not have many followers and I am not sure why I keep doing this but may be one day I will have a bigger following. I had also started a blog on my website and in hopes I could drum up some more business. I did get 1 knew customer out of it and 1 repeat. So I guess it was note a total flop! All though I do feel like it is some days. I keep telling myself and my husband if I can start up a business in these economic hard times than I will make it. I know it is a crazy idea but I am ever hopeful on that premise. I like to think that the glass is always half full not half empty. So I guess I will keep the same outlook on this blogging thing too! So here we go on another adventure into blogging. I hope I will entertain you and give you food for thought. One thing I did tonight is post a comment to my sisters post and told her not to give so I should listen to my own advice and not give up!!! I will keep you up to date on how the customer build up is going. TILL NEXT TIME;)

NEW YEAR AND NEW BEGINNINGS

I know I have not posted anything in quit a WHILE but you see it is like this when you have to wear 6 to 7 hats it gets a little confusing. I know that is a lame excuse but you see Juan had quit working at his job in August of last year and started driving truck cross country and that left all the farm work put on Daniel and I. My Dad had also went through open heart surgery in August as well. So you see it has been a little crazy here and on top of that I have told I have arthritis which I am not to surprised but it make it hard to do some chores on the farm. I have also sold all my crossed ewes and am going to stay with the pure Corriedale breed of sheep which means we have downsized for this winter. Which makes it easier on Daniel and I. I also have quit working at the gas station and working on the farm and mill and home and farm books. So you see I still have tons for me to do and still don't have enough time in the day to do every thing!
