Coffee anyone ?

For the first time ever, my husband has gotten dressed and beaten me out the door.

Probably because you had him tied down before he got the all clear from the doctor. He's raring to go get stuff done that he's been kept from.

@Bruce , and @promiseacres , that is too dang cold! We don't get the real cold stuff until Jan.or Feb. usually.

Unusually early for us as well. We don't usually go sub 0°F until Jan and Feb. It has warmed up to +5°F, likely the high for the day.

Geeze, couldn't he just ask you to go outside nicely?

I was thinking the EXACT same thing, but I didn't have the nerve to say it!

@Xerocles a good cowgirl unsaddles her own horse and sees to its care. No Prima Donna here!

DH was raring to go this morning. Good for him!

Amen, sistah! And the horse is fed before the cowgirl eats.

As a Texan, I've always imagined you riding up to the door on your horse, throwing the reins over the hitching rail, sashaying into the house, tossing hubby a fiver, and saying "take good care of my horse, pardner. Extra oats, its cold tonight."

@Xerocles comment had me practically rolling on the floor!!!!!!!

The horse I had when I was a teenager came in the house with me. I never told my Mom until years later.

well i believe its official muffin is pregnant her milk line has in larged and seems like she starting to produce milk i watching from window.

I did think she looked pregnant in the picture. You are getting quite a bargain for having them just wander into the yard. I agree that you should get the 3 younger ones up to size enough to kill..... b'bq pigs maybe? Let the sow have her pigs, maybe sell some as feeder pigs... advertise in the paper or something. Make a little money and put some in the freezer for your growing (in size) family. You really did luck out.

Congrats on the baby and your kids are absolutely adorable in the pictures with the baby.

Coffee is ready! Going to be another beautiful day. Our little granddaughters are having a Christmas program at 10 this morning. All the kids in their day care sing Christmas songs. They are so cute.

considering how much pork we go through i would say it was a very big blessing. no telling for sure until she pops but she tolerates the piglets but will toss them if they annoy her or get to close to her food. i remember my other sow with her piglets and she wouldnt toss them for eating lol so we be watching regardless. but so far they get along well with the birds it that changes we through a fence up to seperate them but until then i am just getting use to doing inside chores with four lol four oh my its hard to believe. the dog does fine for the most part she tolerates the pigs as long as my kids are in the front yard and no where near the pen otherwise she feels the need to threaten the pigs. the pigs have already learned she can't get them so they just ignore her. i was able to do small chores including collecting eggs with out much pain and today its all gone so i be trying to do the same amount and build back up until i am healed. i won't be lifting feed bags anytime soon but i can water and throw a small bucket of feed i know i suck at behaving lol. my husband kinda frustrated he not really used to doing all my work and he barely able to handle the kids,cook and try to keep up with dishes. i can't stand watching all the cleaning i got done be pointless and get messed up so quickly lol. i been doing some laundry and other small chores. i am not a sit still person its driving me crazy i couldn't sit still when i have birth the other times either. Lilian is doing well she a little piggy she likes to eat. she very calm baby she doesn't cry much even when she hungry she just starts making feed me noises then if i don't get her soon enough she start crying but as soon as she picked up she stops. she also so far sleep pretty well at night i am spoiled rotten with my kids in that since all mine slept really well at night.
on other news my husband grandfather is in the hospital he having some medical issues they want to keep him another day atleast and will go from there. they haven't seen the new one yet but no way i am taking her to the hospital at her age.
my parents are suppose to come up today to see her they plan to spend the night in a hotel and see us again tomorrow not sure how up for that i am but my husband and i have decide to say if baby and i get to worn out that we tell them it's family nap time and we see them later kind of thing.
it's suppose to rain all day... and be cold 54 the high i know i am a wimp but seriously wet and cold blah. yesterday its was nice and sunny and high 61 so baby and i got some fresh air and sun (she was bundled up) but it was nice to get outside.
