Fitting Everything In
My days are busy, and I am still not getting anything done!
Lately, I have been having trouble fitting everything in. I have a lot of things that I need to do every day, and I just feel like I am barely starting my list by the time the day is over. Then, I have to decide whether to start writing or just go to bed.
One year, we got so much snow that taking care of the animals outside took hours more than it used to. One sick kid followed by another one also lead to another challenge. At least I didn’t have to worry about school in the two to three feet of snow that we got!
When spring hits, another set of challenges arises. There are pens that need attention since I was unable to do much over the winter. Spring means planting and getting ready to do hay. However, rain is also plentiful, which can lead to even more challenges.
This year, I have dealt with sick goats. We recently lost a doe and have been fighting a nasty worm infestation. We lost a baby, but now we have a healthy one running around (which makes it all worth it)!
There has got to be a better way!
I feel like all I do is run, run, and run some more, but I don’t have anything done to show for it. I can’t even tell you what I have accomplished this week…
