Yesterday, Tessa woke up in a very cranky mood. She fussy and just loved to scream. Oh lovely headaches. I think I have taken more tylenal for headaches since I have had Tessa than in my previous twenty-three years combined.
So, I spent most of my afternoon trying to keep her entertained which seems to wear me out. I did call the guy that sold us Sugar and asked him if Spice was still for sell. He is a hard man to talk to because he seems to get off subject extremely easy. But eventually, he told me that Spice was still for sale and what he would take for her. We could stretch our money and pay for her so we did. Casey got off work at 5 and I wanted to go for a walk. I decided that the only thing keeping me from losing weight was my own excuses (nicely stated, Misty) So at 5, I left casey here to take care of Tessa and I went for a walk down the road. Well, I tried to walk and jog equal distances using the highline poles to judge distance. I would walk to one and run to the next and so on. By the time I was on the last part of my walk, I was walking through two poles and running to one. I think I walked 1.9 miles in 25 minutes and it felt good. After that, we had one hour to get all of the chores done and be ready to go pick up Spice.
Poor Sugar cried all day yesteday and she never would lay down and relax. So Last night at seven we went to pick up Spice. When we got back here and unloaded her, she was not happy. But Sugar was extremely happy. So we put them in the pen together and by the time I had fed all the dogs, they both seemed happy.
When I went into the house, Casey was trying to keep Tessa entertained. She was red faced and extremely fussy. She seemed so uncomfortabe. I was starting to get worried, So I took her temperature. It read low with the ear thermometer and with the passifier thermometer. So I had casey text Mandy because it was 3 degrees low and that scared me since she had been so cranky. Mandy told us to take her temp under her arm and add one degree to it. So I did that and it came out normal. It was a huge relief! Thank you very much Mandy!! Tessa slept all through last night. I only had to get up twice because she lost her passifier and as soon as I gave it to her, she went right to sleep.Right now, she is sleeping again and has been asleep for almost two hours on my lap. I think she may be going through a growth spurt. Today, has not been very eventful. We went with Casey to check and feed cattle until noon today. Then we had salads for lunch and now Casey is back at work and I'm waiting for Tessa to wake up. After she wakes up, we will probably go tag new calves that were born last night and help Casey finnish feeding hay. It's going to be a good day =-)

Hello Everyone!!!
I finally made the time to create a blog. I have been following Mandy's blog for a while and I always told myself that I ought to make one, but I never have. So today, I can check one thing off the to-do list.
Casey is drilling wheat today and Tessa and I are hanging out at the house. I am supposed to be cleaning (that was my excuse for not helping Casey fill up the drill), but instead, Tessa is sleeping on my lap and I'm cruizing the internet. I really had good intentions to do the dishes and pick up the living room. But I sat down in the chair to feed Tess and this is where she fell asleep. It's funny to me that she gets cranky during the day and she wants to take a nap on my lap sucking on her passifier and holding my thumb, but when she gets cranky in the evenings, she wants to lay down in her crib and go to bed. I would love to move her to her crib now, but I would probably wake her up and I really do not think that she has been getting enough sleep lately. It seems that if she gets plenty of rest during the day, then shee sleeps well at night too. But if she misses her daytime naps, then she has a hard time sleeping through the night. Maybe she takes after me. I love naps and I love sleep in general. I can take a two hour nap in the afternoon then sleep for 10 hours that night. Casey is just the opposite. If he takes a nap he is tired for the rest of the day and has a hard time going to sleep that night.
On to other things, I called the doctor's office today to schedule Tessa's four month shots. I have been putting them off for a month and even now I'm still dreading them. I have a Doctor's appointment at 2:20 on Monday the 5th. She had such a hard time with her two month shots that she cried for three days strait and was extremely sore for a week. I can handle her normal fits and crying, but when my little girl is crying from pain and is completely miserable, I have to hand her to Casey. He is much better at that kind of stuff. When she recieved her first round of shots, Casey came home to both Tessa and I crying on the couch. I went outside for a few minutes and when I came back. Tessa was all wrapped up and asleep in her Daddy's arms and he was playing on the internet. I was so relieved that she was finally asleep and that he was home for the evening. I am hoping that her four month shots will not be so bad because she is older now. But no matter how she reacts to them, she needs them. I have heard terrible stories of whooping caugh and polio, and I would much rather her be vaccinated than to have to face the terrible consiquences of a preventable sickness.
We have bought our first milk goat. We picked her up yesterday and she is so sweet. Her name is Sugar and we really like her so far. But I don't think that she likes us. She doesnt have any friends here and she is always yelling. We feel sorry for her. So the people who sold her to us also have her sister for sale who's name is Spice. Sugar&Spice I love it!! Anyhow, after seeing her so sad, we are going to try to buy Spice, too. They said they would make us a deal if we took both of them. I have called the original owners and they havent called back yet. But maybe tonight we can go pick up Spice if they still have her for sale. I like the idea of keeping siblings together.
Well, Tessa is awake again. So I'm going to try to let her play in the floor and pick up the house a little. I hope you are having a great day!!
