Frustratedearthmother's Journaling Journey

[frustratedearthmother]

Thank ya'll. So far, 6 babies. Four girls 2 boys. That's enough boys already. Yep, definitely need to put the pretty markings on the girls. Interestingly enough, the doeling in the itty bitty babies is the flashiest. Those two are so stinkin' cute! They bounce around like they have pogo sticks for legs. The bigger babies tend to run and jump - and these little guys just bounce. Sooooo cute!

I think (need to check) but I think that might be it for at least a month. I need a break!

Awesome! So glad your goats are birthing those babies without any difficulties.

How many potential kiddings could you have this year? Dare I ask? Lol!

Bouncy babies are so cute!

 

[frustratedearthmother]

I have no idea, lol. Dusty and Kinder are still running with the girls because their pen is knee deep in mud. I haven't seen any "activity" in quite a while so I'm just assuming that everybody is either bred or not going to be at this point. I'm going to have to bring in so much dirt to ever get my pens right again....it's horrible.

Gosh, I wish I could see that

You know it is only the beginning!! We need to be stay at home gals....I am so anticipating the babes in March and SO NOT the waiting, watching and checking butts. I have taken a little more relaxed attitude in recent years. After all the years we both should. But, it's the fear of that 1 in 100 of a wrong presentation that haunts us. BTDT makes it so.

I've considered milking thru a couple. May see how that goes next winter. The reality is that neither of us needs more than 3 or 4 anyway -- why do we keep so many more? Hey, I will NOT tell your DH that! If he is like mine was, it's all ok if you want it that way.


Speaking of DH -- how is he doing with eyes? and how's it going with MIL? Things smoothing out for either or both of them?

AND -- will grands visit during Spring Break? There's some fun and kidding help.

 

[frustratedearthmother]

DH will need at least one more eye surgery...sigh. Hopefully, that's all.

MIL is better since she's taken the antibiotics for the UTI.

It's going good right now. But, it's not going to last forever...

 

[NH Homesteader]

Glad she's doing better for now. Those dang UTI's!

All babies doing well tonight?

 

[frustratedearthmother]

Babies are good! I'll turn Cameo and her babies out of their pen in the morning. Her babies seem big and strong even though I didn't see much of them tonight. Had to feed in a hurry because I got home late tonight.

Warning!!! Whine Fest coming:

My new boss is lazy and shady. She is trying to break federal regulations. She comes to work late - leaves early and has asked us to lie for her. She needs to go.

My long-time co-worker and I are meeting with HER boss Monday. We had a quick impromptu chat with her on Friday and she has indicated she wants more information and that there might be one less person in our office soon. I don't want to be responsible for someone losing their job - but we are paid with a pitiful amount of federal funds. I handle the budget and it's my job to see that we get the most for our money. She isn't a bargain. And, I'm not going down because she's breaking federal regulations. I'm sure prison orange is NOT my color.

Worked today - and will work tomorrow. I'm tired and cranky! Ok - the end.

Cameo's babies are so cute!!! Both of them have THE most unique coloring. The boy is weirdly unusual spotted baby I've ever had....the girl is kinda...uh...I dunno...lightish gray-ish with brown highlights? I'll try to get pics soon but it might be awhile. I work all day tomorrow and won't likely get home until after dark. Not sure what will show up in pics anyway.

Ok - need wine to go with my whine, lol. Thinking about the hot tub...maybe...maybe not. Haven't put fresh chemicals in it for awhile... ugh.
