I wish!! All last month had to work a ton of overtime, I even had to request a day off just to go get hay.
I'm in the middle of setting up water heaters for the sheep, I hear it's going to be a bad winter this year. Last weekend it rained all weekend, couldnt get anything done.

This weekend I have my grandsons, I get very little done.

Between work, rain, grandkids, I feel like I'm not accomplishing much, If feels sometimes I keep taking one step back. Just yesterday, I had a ram bust loose and get into he ewes pen. Spent 45 min wrangling the ewes up and getting him back into his pen while he's fighting the other ram.

Been replacing batteries for the four wheeler, grandsons left the key on now it wont charge (finding this out after I clean out all the stalls) because I haul all the poo and straw in my 4 wheeler trailor. Anyways, I bought a new battery and it says it needs a intermediant charge with a charger before starting,not a jump from jumper cables. Well guess who doesnt have a charger so back to the store today to get a charger and a metal garbage can. Why you ask?...LOL because I had to use sweet feed to trick the ewes into the barn last night and RATS ate through the bottom of my grain bin!!

Yesterday the propane man showed up to drop off the propane tank, today sometime he's suppose to lay line to this 100 yr old farm house, I've already had a few nights my toes have frozen..LOL

There is something like this going on everyday, and now it ges daek at 7 pm. I'm running out of daylight when I get home from work.

Oh and there's more alot more, but I'd just sound whiney if I continue..LOL
Like I said it feels sometimes that I keep taking one step backwards everyday.

But I'm not given up, it will be done if it kills me....LOL..

It's all in perspective. Sounds like you are moving forward to me. Those grand kids will be big enough to help one day. If you had everything done you wouldn't have nothing to do tomorrow and you would be bored. LOL

Sound great! Hope we get to see pictures sometime!
