Associate Producer Jack debuted in his first episode today at 4:29PM, weighing 7lbs even. I pushed him out with no pain meds - though by the end I was screaming for an epidural but it was too late. Jack was already on his way out. I have never experienced pain like that in my entire life. I can’t even believe I survived and I’m not being dramatic. Thank you all for the prayers and comments, I’ve read each of them and they carried me through. We can talk all about it in our next editorial board meeting. For now, Im gonna try to get some sleep (well, after some ice cream.) We did it!
This was so fun to watch. We had lots of rain overnight and the rodeo arena was soaked today. Most of the kids loved it, though a few weren’t a huge fan of being covered in mud. Thankfully there are many hoses at the rodeo grounds!
I used to be one of those people who thought goats will eat anything. But actually, it’s chickens who are the true garbage disposals. Now, when we cook something, I am regularly researching if chickens can eat the waste that we would normally throw away. In this case, we were peeling shrimp, and the light bulb went off. Maybe they would eat the shells? Turns out, not only will they eat the shells, but the shrimp shells are quite good for chickens! In fact, they are full of calcium to help the chickens lay eggs with hard shells.
