Have you ever had a "foot in the bucket" morning? Well, anyone that's ever milked knows exactly what I'm talking about and I'm having one of those days today.
To begin with I overslept which is never a good thing. I usually try to be up and moving between 6:00 and 6:30 every morning. This morning it was 8:00 before I got up. That automatically puts me two hours behind and the day hasn't even started.
Ferrell and I went out to milk and everything was going well, when all of a sudden the dear, sweet, goat that I'm milking, for no apparent reason starts stomping (I realized later there was a fly bugging her).
Since I was daydreaming and not paying attention she managed to get her foot in the bucket and dump all of the milk. It would have been ok if she had dumped it at the beginning, but NO she waits until we're almost finished.
As we come in from the barn I walk into the kitchen to clean up the milking supplies and realize SOMEONE had a midnight snack evidently and I now have a sink full of dishes to wash as well. (We don't have an electric dishwasher).
By this point I'm getting slightly aggravated with myself and the way the day is going, so I decide to go on the porch with my coffee to "simmer down" before tackling anything else. Guess what! My swing cushions are wet due to the rain we had last night! Guess what else is wet?
I think I may go back to bed and start over. Probably not though, since I have quite a few errands to run and I'm seriously thinking, that to get anything productive done today I will have to incorporate my "15 minute rule." Maybe that will make me get motivated to re-start my day.
I hope everyone else is having a better start to their morning!
