Drama Week

This week has been a nightmare! Started on Monday going to help daughter #2 finish moving, that went ok even though we needed to drive an hour to help. Long day and the little kids and I were beat. Managed to keep the household/farm running pretty smoothly.

Tuesday started out good, and I thought at about 7:30 I so have things together. Big, huge mistake! Tuesday is produce delivery day, so I need to bake mini breads first thing in the morning and then harvest. Well by 7:45 two of our sows had busted out of their pen. So after moving multiple pigs around and some pen revamping we got everyone situated. So by 9:00 I am back at the house to start baking, got that done along with vacuuming and hanging out the laundry. By 10:15 on to the garden to harvest, of course hot already but I could manage. Fifteen minutes later Alex is rushing Alyssa to the house, she stepped on a nail, so out comes the peroxide and after some cleaning things are okay. Needed to find her shot records, so realized she needed a tetnus shot. Back to harvesting and will get the shot on our delivery route in the afternoon. So the rest of the afternoon is uneventful, get everything done, daughter #2, Amanda decides to come up for the night, so have to make a decent dinner etc.

Wednesday was looking really promising, that is my quiet day, no deliveries, I usually don't even need to go to town. I try to can or do some other project that needs done. Well by 9:30 Alyssa was at the house from the barn sick. She looked awful, as the day progressed she was getting worse and her fever was getting higher. Took her back to the clinic thinking maybe a reaction to the shot, ended up at the ER with a meningitis scare, only to end up being a reaction to the tetnus shot. Imagine that, I thought that was what it might be, so tons of tests later, she is fine!

Thank God! I can't remember the last time I was so scared.

Needless to say I am hoping for a quiet day of baking today! Will be another hot one today, with thunderstorms possible this afternoon.
