Before I get to the popsicles, First let me share another 'what the heck was I thinking' moment...
Wednesday I 'filled in' as the volunteer manager for the Baker Market. I had a bazillion other things to do - like, get my meat pre-orders ready, but what the heck. I needed some 'good girl' points. And I froze. I was not dressed appropriately for the winds that picked up and blew over our snow covered mountains and came across us.
And, I witnessed something that bothered me... One of the vendors was selling goat milk (illegally) out the back of her car...The car was parked right were the customers should park and I could see everything!!!!! She would meet customers and take them to her car, and then return and take their money. I told my husband. I have not shared my concerns with the Board or the PAID manager yet. You see, I am their black sheep right now. Besides, one of the milk shoppers was the Board President. Great. What bothers me? The sale is illegal in a Farmers' Market setting. At the farm? Perhaps it's legal. I don't know. However, Just like selling meat, goat milk is regulated by the USDA. I guess if I have to be legal, everyone else should, too...
Another thing that really bothered me? Her business has a Christian Name. And it really bothers me when 'I'm a Christian and I will tell the world' people do bad things. It really really really bothers me.... Anyway.. I am saving this discussion for a board meeting... No doubt another 'Black Sheep speaks out' meeting.
OK.. Thanks for listening... Now onto the 'crazy world of Andi' again! (BTW - this should be slowing down soon! At least I keep telling myself that!)...
Friday, I did a market in Pendleton. Ot was our last one, and to celebrate we did a 'take your family to work day'. Yep. We all went. And froze our patooties off. First we stopped in La Grande and dropped off a bazillion preorders! We were hopping!
Saturday, since I did not freeze enough the night before, I did a repeat performance at the Baker market. And froze again... Really really froze. And there were only 2 vendors. Hello? Why bother? We cut out an hour early... Brrrrrrr!
During this time, Sami was enroute playing volleyball. she had to catch the bus at school at 8:15am...
Then, I met my 'day job' boss. You know. The place I work 4 hours a week? We loaded her car/rig with all our Crop Til' You Drop Night supplies for that night's crop.
So, that night, Sami, me and her BFF Hannah went to the Crop and I worked until Midnight. Score! An 8 hour day! That's 2 weeks worth of a paycheck for me!!!! But, too many people told me I looked really really tired! Oops!
Hannah Spent the night.
We slept in until 7am!!!!
We had Big Dutch Babies for breakfast.. Yumm..
Sunday we picked apples.
We picked plumbs.
And, we cut firewood.
I also made a HUGE pot of Chicken neck stew...
And then...
Sami started throwing up at 5pm. Every 30 minutes or so, until 10:30 pm.
Not fun...
You know the type of throwing up I mean, don't you? The kind that makes bodies shake when they are done? And, they can't breath during it because it's a combo of gag/choke/convulse during the process?
Poor little body.
We had a system. Kleenex, Bucket, wet towel. And repeat trips to the bathroom...
Yes, this all happened last night!
I slept on her floor.
And today, she is so much better!
And on the Popsicle diet. An all fruit one that is staying down! Yeah!!!
And, I have a huge headache...
I might need a popsicle, too...
Thanks for listening!!!
