Essentials

Essentials are all that are happening here, right now.   Do you remember when you were a new mother and the baby demanded what seemed like all your time?   Right now, that’s how I feel as I hand feed these triplet lambs.  I feed 2, diaper, warm the bottle, run up to the barn and feed the one still with mother as she has no milk.    Come back to the house and sweep or nap, throw a load in the washer or dryer, or cook.   And some days, the grocery store calls my name.   But not much else gets done.   We are up to 4 hour intervals, day and night, so there is hope.   In another week, we should be up to 6 hours and who knows, eventually life may go back to being normal.  Thanks for being patient through all of  this.

  1. I remember those days – sometimes I had to keep reminding myself that this is the life I chose – especially when I wondered WHY I wanted to do all that!!! And then, suddenly, it’s over, and you get back to your previously scheduled life…
    You are in my thoughts and prayers.
