[Jesusfreak101]

Oh Josiah seems to have caught mild cool cool lots of snot so far the older two dont have symptoms but he is the naughty one who likes to play with the toilet if big sister or brother leave the bathroom door open so yeah that is not fun I keep checking those doors constantly.

Ok so lots of things to say one I am in bugger world all three kids have the virus. So far lucy the only with a low grade temp. Outside of stuff/ running noses a few cough and sneezing no other symptoms.
Other news my husband is not just an enabler he crazy lol. His grandparents are saying they want to get rid of he cows but can't afford to loose the ag exemption so he talking about me increasing my herd to twenty so we can carry the exemption and they can get rid of the cows .... Just want to point this out that's alot of goats lol and alot of milk. So the only way I can think about it is that I . apparently going to b running a vbusines instead a a hobby farm not so sure I am going to enjoy that lol I love farming but I like it being more homestead and less buisness so I can give things t people not have to sale things I am not buisness minded person ... He also talked about me expanding to also having meat goats. I think the only way I probably do an kind of business either milk or soap. I don't know that's still alot to think about the time involved would most certainly make it hard to homeschool much less travel or really do much else and heaven forbid I get aick since .would be the only one milking. lots to think about. Thankfully it's Texas and the rules are way easier then California I definitely wouldn't want to go through that.
Anyways I am not sure how I feel about about all that.
The rabbits are due to give birth today so that's exciting .be checking on them to see what happenes.

No baby bunnies yet I going to give them till next week just to make sure but I am pretty sure he did not do his job correctly . I watched the breed and saw him fall however he very young(6months) and this was his first time breeding so I expect more when he a bit older.

The boys are going to Dr today one for the cold his voice gets almost wizzing when his crying so going to get him check, the other has some sort private issue.. they are all three kinds of cranky . They keep fighting to day and tryin to annoying each other Joshua kept putting his foot on his brother which was just making him mad. Lucy keeps invading the boys room with her toys which is annoying Joshua lol it's just a crazy house today they need a break and to feel better.
The animals are fine thankfully they aren't very happy that I am not out there more lol ever time the see me at the window they all start yelling. They been just seeing feed/milked/eggs collected no much attention otherwise but I can't be out long while leave the sickos in the house. I can't wait til everyone is well again.

Josiah is a very unhappy littlr guy right now.poor guy is very stuff so he cant nurse keep having to suck him out. Which he hates. His ear hurts (Dr said it was Pinker then. Should be but not infection level) he been acting quite fussy pretty sure his nose is what bother him most caude as soon as he can nurse he stops crying.

Ok so far i am glad I still have the goat kids. I put them back with their moms for now. So far they growing well disbudded the other day hoping no one grows horns I had to redisbud jingle bells and I did rainbow but I .Did hers basised off another farms process .Didn't want to do thiers at firs but after two started growing horns and had to be done twice I hoping this way works. You burn for 4seconds the cut off the bud cauterize then re burn for an additional 3 seconds. We see how hers an jingles due.
Ok other news Joshua(3yr old) got stung by a bee and he had a mild allergic reaction his hand (got stung on finger) is still swollen so he went to Dr on monday(got stung on Friday it's now Tuesday,) they put him a a steriod and are seeing him on Thursday to make sure nothing is still inside his finger. I stayed up late lasting night to finish up chores (dish laundry, sweeping, locking up birds, dog and separating kids) any ways woke up at two to Josiah (11.5month old) having 103.1 fever called d got him seen it's just a virus. He was to take Motrin at 9:30am at 8am he was at 102 and at 9:40 after Motrin he was at 103.2. he now on both Motrin and tTyleno both boys are napping hoping to move to their beds instead of my lap so I can finish organizing school area and get Lucy to do some homes hool. I feel bad about not milking goats but their kids are now milking them for me yay for baby goats.
