Lambing

Time to attempt this once again. For a few days anyway. Lambing is in fullish swing. They don't seem to be lambing as fast this year. We have never had the shed full and only about six sets of triplets. Of course now that we are having triplets the singles have stopped so the adoption process is not going so well. Most of the ewes in the stanchion are ones that don't like their own lambs. The unpardonable sin, to not like your own lambs. Stay with your head stuck in the stanchion for a few days then get a bell buckled on that will make your ears ring for the next 11 months. Mean aren't we.

Sleep deprivation is setting in. And with today being fast Sunday, caloric deprivation has hit as well. So if anyone has chocolate chip cookies laying around, we need about 10 per day per person. I have heard that lack of sleep makes you crave sugar. I believe that. We are running low on all forms of this high and instant energy food. Kisses, gone. Wednesday's cookies, gone. Nasty store bought cookies that usually go to the pigs, gone. Gummy sour worms, gone before dark I am sure. Good thing this only lasts a few weeks. We would all be diabetic with all the refined sugar, except for the fact that we get constant exercise: walking, lifting, climbing, chasing, wrestling and pulling.

Enough with my semi-somnolent ramblings. Must go supervise the making of oatmeal cookies. Don't bother coming over for any. They will be gone tomorrow.
