Since I haven't posted in over a week you might think it is quiet around here. Is it ever quiet around here?! Nope there is always something going on.
Thanksgiving was good. Aunt Hazel, Terry, Jeff, Gail, Uncle Steve, Ashley, Miles and Amy all joined us. Thursday was nice and a few of us got up super early to go shopping. It was mass craziness, but really I don't mind. It is a different kind of mass craziness than what I usually shop with. (Meaning shopping with four kids!) I found a few things, and marked a few people off my list. I still have a way to go.
Monday it was back to the normal schedule; school and band. We had co-op on Tuesday, and went to a friends on Wednesday for a bit. Tim was off Friday which always messes me up. I like when he is off, but then it seems like a weekend, but it isn't. Then he goes to work on Saturday and it doesn't seem like a Saturday, but more like a Monday. And well, I'm rambling. . . .
Today we got a space ready in the barn for the sheep and moved them there. Maggie looks to be getting pretty close to lambing. It may be a few weeks, but with this super cold we are having, I'd rather be safe than sorry. We put Mini with her, but apparently Maggie still isn't happy and was crying and tried to get out when Papaw was up there. We don't have the ram. He was loaned out to service the ewes of a friend of a friend. He agreed to keep him over the winter, and that is fine by me. It is so nice not fighting that big bully every feeding time. Not to mention we don't have to worry about him fighting with the other animals now either.
We were supposed to have a church dinner, but it got cancelled because of the weather. Yes, it is that bad here. It was in the teens last night, and never got very warm today. It snowed a good deal of the day. Tim drove home at about 10 MPH. He said the roads are all iced over. They were predicting a cold winter. So far they are right.
Tim decided to go out and hunt since we weren't going anywhere tonight. Now, I have to figure out what is for dinner. Feels like a clean up leftovers night to me. Then maybe a family movie night and bed. Hope you are keeping warm where you are!
Happy Holidays! Just wanted to know if you caught the date of your blog is December 13th, please don't make the month go faster than it already is, I thought I was getting old and senile and somehow missed a week. I was in Columbus to meet a friend on Saturday, and a normal drive home is about 2 hours and it took me 3 because of the weather, there was a couple bad accidents along the way home. I was thankful when I pulled in the drive safely. Hope you are coming home for xmas, and also hope Steph gets to see Martha too. You haven't posted much about her lately. It would be nice if she could come home with you, but if she did meet all of us, she may run and never come back, ha!ha! Love you All!
