All by our selves.......uh oh

Yes we are by ourselves this week..... Mom had to go back home and take care of stuff down there. Paul's mom is just a phone call away though so we are not completely alone. I guess we are doing okay. I am not near as emotional. The kids are having a tough time though because granny isn't here and Kylie constantly thinks I am mad at her. She has taken to running off and crying when you say something to her to get on to her for something. Alaina is okay just pushing her limits as usual but because paul and i are so tired, she is really getting on our nerves. I have tried to take it easy and play with them today. I guess God is smiling on us because the weather is now supposed to be pretty this week except for some showers in the morning but we need the rain.

While we were outside yesterday (paul has been cleaning up our back yard and getting it ready for a garden, fruit trees and a calf.) Kylie and I discovered that we have more flowers than we thought in our flower bed. So we are anxious for it to rain and see what we have. We went out yesterday and got the weeds out best we could. It doesn't look like anyone has taken care of them in years. When you pulled the grass up the roots were inbedded in the bulbs roots so we had to replant a few and hope they do good. I am looking forward to seeing what they are though.

about the calf. we decided to buy a calf and fatten it up for meat. I cannot pay 2.50/lb for meat that is just plain crazy and then you don't know where it came from or what it was fed. I just feel better raising our own. and paul is all for it so why not. Between it and deer meat (if we have anybetter luck this year.) (paul did not get to go hunting much last year so we did not have much as he is the better hunter) we ought to not starve over winter. lol

For those of you wondering about the baby. He is much better. His billyribbon friday morning was 12.7 so the doc said he could come out from under the lights and they are supposed to come get the bed sometime. I am so relieved. I couldn't stand to see hime in that thing. It was so sad. He had to lay there with those goggles over his eyes and he did not like them. It got his schedule messed up so now i am trying to get him straightened out. It is not easy. How do you feed a baby that doesn't want to wake up? It is very tough. But we are working on it.

We also found out that our airconditioner is not completely fried. it is just a switch or something and not a compresser thank God because we could not afford a compressor right now. WE are trying to get the money together to go to Broken Bow and see everyone but Paul had a short check this week and the next one will be short also because he has to take off to take me to the doctor so we will just have to wait. We will see.

Gotta go feed the sleepy monster.
Love and Prayers.
