Don't Want to Leave
So... this weekend did not go at all how I had planned. When I got home, my dad told me that I was going to have to take care of a baby calf while he was gone b/c the mom can't get up. So, Thursday was an interesting day when I had to milk a cow, by hand, for the first time EVER!!! but I knew it was for the good of the baby.
By Saturday, my brother and I couldn't milk the mom anymore, and so we've tried to feed the baby a formula mix. Luckily, the baby has made it so far... but since it got cold, she hasn't been doing to good and it doesn't look like she'll live much longer. So I'm majorly depressed b/c I've tried so hard and done all that I could.
I went to the tea/luncheon thing for my cousin, which was fabulous. And I totally looked the part:) I had a great time and the only downside was that my shoes totally killed my feet.
I was supposed to go back to tampa today; however, with the situation at hand with the baby and my parents not being back til tomorrow afternoon, I have to stay here to feed the baby in the morning. I pray that it will at least make it through the night, b/c if it doesn't, I don't know if I will go back to tampa until Wednesday. I know its totally insane to be this upset over a cow, but she is so cute. The way she follows me around the yard and rubs her head against my hand, wanting to be scratched like a dog just makes me more attached.
Times like these make me hate life. Something so sweet and innocent dying for nothing... that really sucks. Someone should send a memo to the man in charge. And also... times like these make it totally obvious that God is a man. B/c if God was a woman... she wouldn't let things die young, she'd allow them to live out their potential. Anyways... I'm just upset now ::shrug::
