I thought once I had kids, I would like them more....I LOVE MY KIDS, but other people's kids, not so much .

I thought once I had kids, I would like them more....I LOVE MY KIDS, but other people's kids, not so much .

Parents always say that its different with your own kids. I'm sure it is different, but I am not sure if I actually want to have my own kids so a weekend of kids is a lot for me!


Currently mad at my sister. She was going to give me this sweet little king snake but then decided to be an indian giver and keep it. I'm actually really mad about it. I hate it when people get me all excited and planning and then BAM sorry, I'm going to keep it. Jerk.

Didn't sleep at all last night due to crazy winds. I can never sleep when its really windy at night. I stay up listening for stuff breaking and trees creaking. I should get some sleep since I'm grumpy from my stupid sister and the kids over the weekend.

The wind is still blowing.

Decided to put up all the goats for sale.

I need to simplify my little farm and for now, it doesn't include goats. Perhaps in the future I will like a small dairy goat. I want to explore other endeavors like sheep, rabbits and mice.

I was not expected triplets from her! She didn't look that big at all and had had twins previously.

We have a 2.5 lb buckling, a 3 lb buckling and a 3.25 lb doeling. The little buckling looks like he will be a Chocolate Sundgau like mama. The bigger boy looks like a dark buckskin and the girl is a dark buckskin with a spot of white on her head and white under her jaw.

My parents are visiting right now and my step dad saw the first baby in the stall. I ran out with towels and the mom had the other 2 out FAST. She just dropped them standing up. Probably took a total of 5 minutes for them. They are all up and dry, nursing and happy.

It is a wonderful sunny day to have kids!

This brings our total up to 4 doelings and 2 boys.

I broke the card on my camera so I can't take any good photos right now. That will have to wait until Drew gets home with his iphone. My little phone takes lame photos but here is one!

The doeling is on the left.

My mom really wants me to keep a goat for her to milk. If I keep one, I have to keep two...not sure what I'm going to do.

They are dry now and I can tell that we have a dark buckskin, a chocolate sundgau and a chocolate buckskin. They are all so healthy!

Might already have the new doeling sold. Someone really wants a bottle baby.

I love the color on these new kids.

Had my GI appointment yesterday. He doesn't want me working for a few more weeks. He said I'm a lot sicker than I think I am. I really like him a lot. He already has a plan for my medication to get me off most of it. I have another appointment in a month.

My mom and stepdad came down to take me to the appointment. They are just awesome parents. My stepdad fixed up a bunch of carpentry things around here, my mom made this amazing borsch. They even bought me a lawn chair so I can relax in the backyard as part of my stress free therapy. I love them so much.
