Our trip to the dentist was not bad.
The weather, as it often does, changed so Joanna took her scooter to work so we
didn’t have to squish in the Jetta and she didn’t have to go to work half an
hour early. I think the boys are getting older. Because there were no older
children at home, I couldn’t leave anyone home so they all had to go. I really
was not looking forward to this because I know how they behave sometimes.
However, amazingly, they were good. Cedric went in first, then Amena, and then
me. Other good news—no decay (what happened to cavities?)
Yesterday afternoon Adam came over
for a bit. He usually has Ryan but since he worked the night before and had to
work again last night, he only had him for a few hours. He came over before and
then again after (in time for cheesecake, of course) before leaving to go home
for a nap before work.
We had macaroni and cheese for
supper with salad. I couldn’t fit much in because I’d had two cups of milk and
then two cups of tea (Paul got this really good berry iced tea—children like it
way too much). I managed to eat a piece of cheesecake though. The boys were so
busy being silly and misbehaving during supper that they lost cheesecake privileges.
Last night I divided the remaining blueberry cobbler for Paul and Laura’s
lunches today. This morning I added a piece of cheesecake to each and put
another piece in another container (for Blair). That leaves only one piece and
Seth thought that wasn’t fair. I told him that they gave up cheesecake, period,
not just for the night but for the entire cheesecake. Maybe because they were
so good in the morning they had worn it out and couldn’t do it in the evening.
Whatever the case, once we were done with supper, we had prayer and read
scriptures and they got to go to bed.
Last night we got a little rain.
Nothing like the downpours we were told to expect leading to torrential
flooding but some. Enough to make the ground look wet. Today is overcast and I’m
not sure what the forecast is but it’s certainly more humid today than it was
yesterday. The temperature isn’t bad.
The goats were good for milking. The
biggest problem lately has been that Goldilocks doesn’t want to let the kids
nurse after milking. There is no way I strip her so it’s just a matter of her
not wanting to be touched. However, since the kids need milk, her behavior is
not acceptable. The day before yesterday, Laura held her hind legs so they
could eat. Yesterday I did. Both days she jumped and kicked and generally did
not make it easy. Today, I held her again and while she did try kicking, she
didn’t do any jumping so it wasn’t nearly as bad. Must be good for the hand and
arm muscles, though.
Today we don’t have much going on. I
need to make a copy of my driver’s license and take it and a couple of papers
up to the Mount. Other than that, I need to stop at Walmart to get some more
allergy pills and see if they have any more big bags of potting soil. I am
ready to get some work done on Daniel’s gravesite.
Seth just announced that Adam just
got here and indeed, he just drove up and he has Ryan with him. Funny because
Paul and Laura have yet to leave. I’m not sure what they’re doing (Paul and
Laura—when Adam needs to sleep, he sometimes comes here when he has Ryan
because Ryan can play with the boys while Adam sleeps). Oh, well, with that, I
believe it is time to sign off. Have a splendiferously wondrous day!
