Yesterday was an odd day. I built a baby pen in the doe barn so we can put the kids in at night and start milking. I put the fence BACK up because the boys are so rambunctious they keep running it over when they play. I dug out bunny poops from the bunny pen and put down lime. I worked on MORE paperwork for a friend whose son is having trouble in school. I cleaned up trash for the umteengazillionth time (Mollie keeps pulling out stuff from gosh knows where and exuberantly chewing it up and flinging the pieces everywhere. Eventually she has to run out of trash to find, right?) I did some more cleaning here in my new and lovely little house. It was incredibly windy day so I also used the wind to my advantage as a blower and raked some leaves in the front yard for a while.
Then I woke up this morning at 6 am with the Adams Family song running over and over again in my head. I couldn't remember the dream that went with it. Thank goodness. It is a gorgeous morning. I wonder what the boys are plotting for today.

OH NO! I tried to KILL Autumnprairie today! Not on purpose. HONEST! I was pulling a t-post with a chain and a 2x4. I was using the 2x4 for leverage and the 2x4 snapped. The t-post sprung back and smacked Autumnprairie in the head. BOING! The poor woman was standing dazed, clutching her head, tears streaming down her face. I checked for bleeding and offered to get some ice. But she staggered away.
Now she has a HUGE black and blue mark on her forehead. I FEEL HORRIBLE. Not only that, I feel like I should hide for a couple days. I don't think her husband is going to like me anymore for beating up his wife.
This comes on the heels of me driving a t-post through the water line to one of the water spigots out in the field. I didn't know the water line was there. Water boiled up out of the ground. Autumprairie quickly turned off the water at the street and then turned off the water to the field. THANK GOD she knew where the valve was. Because I sure didn't.
Anyway, tomorrow, I shall finish the fence, hopefully without killing anyone.

Well, poor Autumnprairie has a huge knot on her head. I hope she is OK. We were teasing the kids yesterday about brain injuries. Being kids they were being silly and we were giving them guff about it. And here I go and inadvertantly wack the poor woman in the head. GOSH. Talk about my words coming back and biting me in the butt. But she took it rather nicely. No chasing me about the field with a 2x4 or any threats of violence and retaliation of any sort.
Considering that meek little Brownie has been a real grumpy girl for the last couple days and cordoned off the barn and butted everyone out quite swiftly, I should have known something was up. It is not like her to be that aggressive. The birth of the babies made my day go ALOT better. The kids are really cute. AND DOELINGS to boot. I haven't had twin doelings ever. I usually get bucklings with the occasional doeling thrown in for good measure.
Thank You Autumnprairie for being so kind about the injuries and for your help with my/our new babies. Aren't they CUTE?!

I find out more about you, and realize how much we have in common. I get the same way. You know what counts though? The fact that you are such a sweet, and caring person. No need to look at yourself so bad.autumnprairie said:not sweet I don't know how she puts up with me, I don't handle stress well and I get very *itchy and I can't stand myself I don't see how people put up with meredtailgal said:Yeah, I'd sleep with one eye open for sure.

The revenge came in the form of electroshock therapy. I was putting up the field fence today. We ran a string of electric wire above the field fence and I was attaching it to the t-posts with clips. AP had to turn on the electric fence 'so the goats wouldn't get out". Autumnprairie went to get A from school. One minute I was hearing the birds chirping and the chickens clucking and the next minute I am laying face down in the grass with drool coming out of my mouth and a pair of pliers still in my hand. Apparently I had touched the top of my head to the electric wire. My teeth hurt, my eyes were all screwy and my chest hurt for about an hour afterwards.
Then when AP got back she said she was sorry about having to turn the fence back on. (She didn't know what happened.) But while she was standing there, I touched the fence again with the top of my hand and ended up sitting on my butt a foot or so away from the fence. 20,000 volts packs quite a wallop. She turned off the fence for the last 2 feet of fence clips. Well, I do not feel depressed and I seem to be mildly Oh confused. HMMM. Electroshock therapy does something, I just can't remember what was that we were talking about???
