Over

Christmas is over. I don't know about you, but I'm tired. I feel like I have been shopping and wrapping and cooking for a long time and I'm tired. I need to figure out a way to make this season just as fun and yummy without the stress and exhaustion. Rest would be great; "be still and know that I am God" kind of rest.

I am starting to help with the outside chores. I will be feeding calves and am helping feed the milking cows hay for a couple days while Marlys is gone. I am scared milking might be in my future. I know I said I would never do it and it has taken five years for me to even want to be this minutely involved, but it is a slippery slope and I have started on the downhill slide. I'll try to stay strong. :)

I hope you all had a very merry Christmas and that you are starting to think about your goals for 2009. We heard a speaker at National Milk who said that people who have goals and write them down are more successful than those who don't. Something to think about.
