Got Milk? I do. Tisha has been doing really well this week. She is up to 12 to 16 oz at each milking. I am so proud of her. She is doing really well on the milk stand too. She does kind of get on it backwards though. I lead her to it and she goes to the side, then I have to teach her how to lift her legs and step up, I help put her head in the stachion and lock it, then I have to go around to the other side and help her lift her behind up, Its kind of funny. but Ill take it. At least shes not butting me all over the place. I like this new personality of hers. Cocoa still lays at my side with her head in my lap or shes behind me with her head on my shoulder looking over. Shes just too funny. So today while I was doing other things after milking Tisha, we got Cocoa on the stand and Dakota prettied her up some and pretended to milk her too so she wouldnt get so jealous. Then we praised her too for being a good girl. We will continue to work with her so next year she should just hop right up there when its her turn to be milked. Tisha will do a whole lot better too the more we work with her.
We are almost done with school, next week we will just be taking exams. Then were FREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Probably we will turn this house upside down to try to find my phone. Were gonna do spring cleaning, get ready for gardening and canning. We will be spending more time outside everyday.
Maybe Ill have a chance to get caught up on some reading I was doing. So far its up in the morning, get breakfast, go to the barn and milk and do chores, come back up, do school, clean house, fix supper, go to games, help coach, come home, eat, go milk again, clean milking equip., take shower, tuck everyone in, go to bed, with a few extra things in between here and there. Whew, Im tired by then.
Well its time to tuck the boys in now and seperate them from fussing. Their arguing back and forth under the bed in my room. Why you may ask, because, dad is out of town this week and their keeping me safe by camping out in my room in their sleeping bags in the floor. Ha! So time to go play judge and juror now.
Hope everyone has a nice Friday. I know we will. |
Have a great weekend.
