Babies




Lambing season is almost done...but check out the new babies. Its been a "ok" year for lambs...if you like RAMS. We finally got a pair of ewe lambs...was starting to think this whole season would be all rams. Hard to expand on rams. They still are cute and the kids are excited about them...

what am I doing wrong?

So I signed up for the biggest looser contest at our Y. Work has been nuts BUT I have been working out on my own & keeping a food diary...well I still haven't lost anything. Told my sister I will forever be fat and ugly. I am getting very frustrated. I don't want to stop but I feel like I am looking at a 15' wall and all the fit folks are on the other side making fun of me...

Storm brews


I was out doing chores one night and was looking for new lambs ahead of a storm...I for some reason had grabbed my camera that night...look what I saw

Being a firefighter/emt


I don't know what it is that draws me to the firefighter/EMT service, but the more I do the more I want. Almost like an addiction. The picture at left is a mock disaster I helped put together it went off without a hitch. Standing there is a deputy and the sheriff along with two of our firefighters. It was hard just to stand back and not play...BUT it was great to see how all the departments worked together. I am looking to go to a Emerg. Mgmt boot camp in August. Looks like it will be a lot of fun...

finally

We finally have a new news director at the radio station so life will slow down just a bit for me. It's been nuts trying to do 2 jobs.

Well I signed up for the biggest looser contest at the YMCA. So far have not lost a pound:( Doesn't matter what I do our don't do...its like the weight is super glued to my body. I did stop at a sporting goods store yesterday and got a new pair of shoes, sports bra and workout clothes. Not that I needed the motivation but thought it would be a nice perk for the contest. First place is $500 but at this rate I will be last place!

Enough crabbing its been busy at home with Mike in Wisconsin. We are getting stuff done, but not as fast as I would like. Still hoping to get the trees cleaned up the county "cut" down. They took a back hoe and ripped them out and then told the land owners it was their job to clean up the mess. I didn't ask for the trees to be cut down. Heck they were not even close to the road. Oh well...I want to get it done as it looks horrible. I am going to the next town board meeting to complain about it. Since there was no notice they were going to be there in the first place.

Had a 1045 roll-over last night (car accident with injuries) I was in charge of teh 3 year old, man was she a cutie! All was well because the babysitter made sure she was properaly in her carseat.

Well better get some market stuff done...till we chat again...
