At the sale I bought Sophia and Cooper a bunch of clothes for soooo CHEAP! PLUS I got them a BRAND NEW IN BOX radio flyer wagon with wood sides- now Chris has to put it together. :) I also got them some toys including: a 3ft cookie monster, some toy trucks, a cow-pig-and goat that makes animal sounds, a toy guitar that plays music, and a nursery rhyme book that sings and has all sorts of features. I only spent $112 TOTAL! I kinda wish I could go back- but I think I am done. lol. I work up there Saturday afternoon- I really can't wait- it is just 4 hours of volunteer work, but maybe I will meet some other moms and things. It will be nice to actually do something.
I have lost 3 pounds since Monday- so I guess I am back on track. I measured myself again yesterday and I have lost INCHES! I lost about 2 1/2 inches around my waist and 3 inches around my bust. That excites me greatly. Mom has quit the diet- she says it was making her sick, she thinks it is b/c of all the medication she takes-plus she doesn't really like meat. So she gave her injections to Jim Bob-my cousin.
It started raining yesterday and is still raining today. We really don't need all this rain, especially after the snow we recieved last weekend. It is so MUDDY outside and now it is probably flodding in most places. The ground is completely saturated with water. It makes me so aggravated because I am never going to be able to get the garden planted. I planted my irises earlier this week-in the mud. I hope they come up. It is suppossed to my a beautiful day tomorrow-I hope the sun shines all day and maybe dry some of the mud up. I feel so sorry for the calves and cows that have to walk around in all this mud. I especially feel bad for the cows at the dairy next door- they are born in a mud lot- no grass anywhere. Yesterday I saw three different calves being born. The poor things. Luckily though, they don't stay out there long. John usually has them sold before they are born. We have bought 7 from him this year already. 4 of them we have already weaned and we have 3 on the bottle- they are about 2 weeks old. So cute.
Saturday is the Studentkemper Farm Machinery Auction-Chris is going in the morning, but has to come home in the afternoon so I can go volunteer. Last year it was extremely muddy and Chris spent the day pulling people out of the mud. I have a feeling it is going to be the same way this year. He is hoping to find some feed troughs and things for our cows. I brought it up the other day that we don't actually own any-and the ones that we have been using are the ones that dad replaced with new ones---they are in that bad of shape. Hopefully they will have some concrete ones out there.
