With this past month just flying by, I sit here today wondering where this month has gone. We’ve done so much work around the homestead. We finally got the barn roof repaired, almost have the turkey runs completed, the new quail cages are almost done, barn clean up with a constant task, and always helping my kids.
This month it’s been doctor appointments for myself, injections in my hands for arthritis. My hands cause a lot of pain, but I push through, just keep swimming. No need to dwell on what can’t be changed.
Last month, my daughter and middle grandson moved back home. This month my other girl moved home with my oldest and youngest grandson. We are having to adjust our lives to kids back in the house. It’s been crazy but I do love having our boys around. I love knowing they are outside with us and loving the being here on the homestead. When I say our home is chaotic is an understatement. LOL
We are trying to get everything ready for our trip to Washington state. I’ve trained my daughter on how to take care of all our animals. She will be fine, I know I shouldn’t worry, but I know I will. I’m not use to anyone caring for our animals except my husband and me.
My oldest son was here over this last weekend, I have missed him since he moved to Missouri. We got to catch up and visit some. He will be back in a few weeks, so I am looking forward to that.
This week is all about getting ready for our trip. Cleaning pens, making sure there is enough feed for the animals, packing, finishing the turkey runs, and making sure everything and everyone is ready. There is just never enough time in the day.
This month I feel like I am running a race and I hate it. I love living the slow-paced life, but I have no clue where that went.
It’s the end of August and we are already experiencing fall like weather! I am not ready for fall or winter. There still so much to do and not enough time to get it all done. Where did this month go? I’ve been going insane with trying to get things done, dealing with pain, and trying to keep myself grounded. I know I need this vacation! We deserve it!
We will continue doing what we do. We don’t stop ever!
Have an amazing week and ever better weekend!
