Alrighty - something positive

I dont know what to write that is positive yet.. but I'm sure as I begin to type, that something will just fall into this empty space.
The latest events.. well a worker quit thismorning which I feel really bad about! She was nearly in tears and I feel awful for her.. but the fact is, she didnt turn up to work for 4 days straight during the hardest 4 days of our working careers and basically was taking the piss out of us as employers. It was hard.

I lost a calf thismorning, number 9. She got scours and we were treating her.. she was a gorgeous wee jersey calf.. she got her head stuck in some bars and died overnight. That sucks.

Oh, I know something positive. I am over the entire 'bobby truck' problem. I actually look forward to the bobby truck coming! The bulls are VERY feisty, and very large. I am happy when that job is over and done with for the day!!

My sister got engaged thismorning. I'm so happy for her. Its been a while! I've been married for 6 years and she has been with her partner longer than I've been with mine. I told my husband and he smiled and said it was about time. Knowing her, she'll have a small reception at the courthouse.. I think that she should do something nice.. not huge, but nice and make it a nice day to remember. You only get to do it once.

I've recently found out that my newest friend (lol) that I email is rather hot, and for some reason it makes me nervous when I get emails from him now.

Over the past week or so, we've had it all.. the sun, the rain, the snow.. we got snowed in and the roads were shut. It was my daughters birthday and we were short staffed so we all had to work. It was the worst birthday ever. She turned 7. She got all that she wanted for her birthday but it doesnt make it any easier that I know it sucked. My partner made her a cake at 1am and the power went out so he couldnt finish it. We tried.. and failed. We had no power for 3 days. We survived and in all honesty, I could've gone longer. But we did have the means for it. We had a generator at the milking shed so we could still milk, and we have a coal range which is also a wet back. Today though, its a beautiful sunny day. If the snow wasnt still covering everything, I'd be letting my calves out for a run around. I'm having the bulk of the day off - after what I've done this week, I think I deserve a couple of hours to myself.

My baby is walking around the furniture now. Kids grow so fast.
