The weekend was a little intense one of my former show heifers had a bull calf this weekend. She was in labor for at least 5 hours we saw hooves sticking out at around 6:00 pm. We have always been told that after an hour if that calf hasn't been born it is time to pull it. We didn't have anything to pull and it was a Saturday night so we just brought her up to the barn (which took about 2 hours) so we could load her up in the morning to take her to the vet to have this dead calf pulled. I thought she might be able to push it out so I went and checked on her at around 9:00, 10:00, and the last time at 11:00 and there was still no baby calf in site (dead or alive). After a restless night of sleep I woke up early and I was going to check on Desi-Lu (thats the momma cow I named all of my cows after I love lucy) my mom and dad were coming in and said you want to go see the new calf? Desi had given birth to a LIVE baby calf after all of that time! I named him Production because on his papers I want it to say Desi Lu's Production I'm not sure why I want it to say this I just think it would sound pretty cool.
I just wrote an entire paragraph about a cow...man I live my life on the edge ha ha. I went to a workshop today over educational technology tools and it was not the workshop it was supposed to be. I was very disappointed I felt that I could have gone up there and taught everything that that person taught I have been using those same exact things in my classroom already for the past 2 years. Maybe I'm ahead of the game I don't know but I am a firm believer in putting technology in classrooms. I mean I let my kids use their ipod touches in my classroom. I just want the 7 hours of my life back please.
Tomorrow my car windshield is getting fixed and I am one step closer to my new car. Now my only prayer is that they can find mine in the make and model that I want which is not looking very likely :(. That is the one thing I want more than anything I feel that it is my last step to feeling like a grown up. I crave independence it may not seem like it at times but I just want to do things for myself for a change and not have to count on anyone but me.

"I just wrote an entire paragraph about a cow...man I live my life on the edge ha ha." <-This literally made me LOL. I'm glad to hear Progress made it out okay. Oh, and I love the name. :)
