Hi..Today's blog is to be about ..What can I improve upon..

first of all..I'm having a sad day..my friend passed away today..thanks for all your concern and sympathy...
My hubby is in an extremely grumpy mood so that always makes me sad too...

The calving/chores has been unreal busy and I haven't been doing as great with my healthy eating plans..having too many snacks and stress eating...

..we went to town for the mail this morning...and I bought a rice krispie treat for a treat..then I had pie for dessert after my soup for lunch..and had an apple for a snack in the afternoon..then steak and salad for supper which was a healthy choice..but we had a bit of a rodeo with a heifer calving...and came in and ate a big bowl of chocolate ice cream..which was over my calories and I'm supposed to have given up ice cream for lent :(...we all have days like this...don't we....

Time to pick myself up and get back on track tomorrow...on a brighter note I did get lots and lots of exercise 4 or 5 hours of chores..and I'm exhausted..both physically and mentally...we had several calves today again and the heifer that was calving after supper was upside down in the corral and when a cow gets on her back she can die..so we are panicking...and trying to get her back upright. .. hubby put a rope on one of her feet and we pulled her over..then chased her into the barn and it was a very hard pull to help the calf arrive..it was a huge calf but alls fine with it.

We set up a portable wall in a corral and moved more pairs out of the barn. Part of the portable panels had stands that were frozen into the corral so I used an ax and chopped it out...took about 45 minutes...arms are burning from that. Then took twine of several bales and moved the herds around. The little calf in the house got another bottle and then we put her back with her wild momma..they aren't doing so great together yet...it may need another bottle soon...Another heifer calved today and went completely nuts..just a typical day on the ranch...

I hope tomorrow is a better day...I will try harder to keep up with my healthy eating..and get back on track..and hopefully it will be a less sad day...

Thanks for dropping by and for all your kind comments..keep on sparkin'

Love Donna
