I say that in all good humor though. I'm just at the end of my endurance and we have seven sheep to lamb yet!! Last night my pet sheep "Matilda" dropped her lambs without a hitch at 1am. What a treat!
I think I'm so tired because I had to spend all winter sitting on my bum. I'm a tad out of shape - I found myself struggling at the Post Office to hold a small box. I wanted to say, "Give me a BREAK! This box is nothing!" but I figured folks would think me mad.
Lambing is hard work because you have to go at it in all sorts of sideways and half on your knees positions while at the same time trying to pin down a struggling (and very powerful!) yow. I have a feeling that if I am on the go this summer and get plenty of exercise I'll have a much easier time next lambing season! This ankle is still hurting but I am seeing some great improvements. I can really walk around for quite a while now before it complains! The only thing I really struggle with is standing. If I stand still the whole ankle and foot screams! But I can squat and kneel a bit so this means I should be able to do some flower planting YIPEEE!!!
I bought some great ab workout (pilates) and belly dance DVDs to help get my core strong again. Belly dance will whup your butt!!
This day I haven't had time to do much prayer. And I'm seriously in need of a nap - we had a late night, then a middle of the night lambing and THEN a blasted coo kept roaring and roaring for HOURS. Erlend slept like a rock but I lay there with bloodshot eyes twitching and drooling. Every fifteen seconds "ROAR!!"
We have another caddy lamb - Sheep #7 has rejected another of her triplets. Erlend says, "She's one of those sheep that can only count to one!" I juuuuust pawned Little Sheep off on Sheep #4 and was feeling pretty good! And now I have another screaming caddy. We have twa more sheep having triplets....and any of our other sheep can have surprise triplets! I very well might have a handfull of caddies to feed. I'll consider it practice for when I have a kid of my own!
Uh...let's see. Can I come up with anything holy for Weds. in the Octave of Easter? Hmmmm. "God is good. Amen."
