Oh and I forgot to add, the bees are on order too. We have the beeswax & hive here & waiting on them

Vent time. Crappiest day ever. I have a 2nd degree burn in my finger tip, a twisted/sprained ankle, the water pump appears broken so we have no running water, my youngest son is getting sick so has been coughing & whining all day, I found a dead chicken in the water bucket (which I can't clean out because, oh, hey we have no running water!!!!) I found out the doeling out of my favorite doe has messed up teats, the bees were freaking out this afternoon so I don't know if they're going to stay in their hive, did I mention we don't have any water so I can't shower or fill up the animals water buckets? Grrrrrr. Just one thing after another. Oh I forgot to add my hay provider is fresh out so now I've gotta find some alfalfa hay somewhere too. Happy Mother's Day.

I know hugs won't fix it but I hope it helps

Thanks for the hugs guys. They do make me feel a little better. So do the sweet gifts from my kids, the husband trying to cheer me up, and our bunny kindling this morning with 6 healthy kits. The little things

Thanks elevan. Hope yours was great as well!

Grrr. Do you ever get aggravated with people when they give you "advice"?

Some "friend" on my facebook page told me I should stop growing imaginary crops & do something with my life because I'm a smart girl lol. Hmmm, I guess I'm smart enough to know I LIKE raising animals, growing gardens/my own food, and being there for my kids while they grow up?? Why would I want to be a worker drone somewhere for someone else's outfit? Granted, I do work outside the home part time because mini-farming does not pay good money & my kids need clothes & shoes & stuff. There are more important things in life than making a buck. Not to mention if anyone has viewed the payscale chart & the way it's changed in the past 20 or so years I wouldn't make enough money for throwing my life away as a worker drone to be worthwhile unless I was a CEO or in the top 1% of the US income bracket. Plus living in the boonies and gas prices being so high would require me to spend a good portion of what I make DRIVING to said job to make pitiful wages. Well, thanks for letting me vent here.

On another note this hot/cold shifting weather is finally catching up with me. Getting my first head cold and/or flu of the season. Goaties & human kids are all doing well. Trying to catch up on some housework today while feeling like crud because we'll have an out of town visitor this week.

((Ok I know this is the second page but I'm catching up and totally have to say this))
Actually if the buck has a good topline, is friendly, and generally a good buck its worth getting him!!


((((hugs))))) Hope it turns out OK, and you get water!!

Wow it has been a long time since I've written anything here!!! Thanks everyone for the cyber hugs & well wishes

We have 9 baby goaties here right now, and 10 baby Am Chin buns. Three of the baby goats are going to their new home Saturday. I have mixed feelings about it. As they sell my life will get easier around here but I will miss them. Luckily I am keeping a few of them to keep me from getting too sad We were lucky to get so many gorgeous babies and almost all girls!!! Well that is about all that's going on here right now.
