Well, I'll start. I'm sure I'm not the only one to have a "moment" like this while watching cams.
My most recent one happened tonight. But let me fill in some back story....
I've got a lot going on right now. But who doesn't, right? Between a LOT of stress at work and then having to find a home/farm in short order, then add Raven about to foal on top of that and well, I'm earning my gray hairs!
So, I finally get home from work tonight, late of course, and we still have metal to put back on the barn from winds these last few days. So we're using the last few minutes of light to get it all nailed back on, feed quickly, water, check that everyone still has 4 legs and 2 ears and call it done!
Run in the house, feed dogs, feed cats, start the oven, check work email and now it's time to pull the cams back up. As I'm getting them all up and arranged on my screen, (yes, there is a method to my madness
and no, it doesn't involve drinking...yet), I see that Heather has updated the thread Raven is on on MS to say that Chanel has wax. How exciting! So, I'm getting the cams in order and I look at cam 2 and there's Ravey and her cohorts (4 screen split) and one of the stalls looks funny. I can't quite tell what I'm seeing. But something doesn't look right. Then as I'm peering closer and closer to my screen (like that's going to help!) I SEE A BABY! Oh my god! Temptation has a baby in her stall! What is going on? Where is Heather??? Where is Shannon???? Do they know she's foaled???? Run! Where's my phone???
Find my phone. Dial Heather. Rings forever (or so it seems). She answers.
"Heather!" I say.
"Yeeesss" is the tentative response to my urgency. What the heck? Doesn't she realize there's a foal in Temptation's stall???
"Heather, there's a foal in Temptations stall" I yell.
I hear the hesitation on her part. What's wrong with her?
Then, finally, her acknoledgement. "I know. She had a foal a couple of days ago."
What??? What???
OMG! I'm looking at Temptation but thinking Chanel!
I was so embarrassed!
I quietly apologized and hung up the phone. And I haven't even been drinking!
