Roll Farms - Herdstock is over, and I'm feeling hung over, lol

Pain should always be checked if you don't know where it's coming from or why it's there imo. I hope it's nothing, but I hope you can get it checked out.

Well I got up at 3 am for work and....no pain.

Now, at around 8:30 am...it's coming back. Wierd!

At least it was gone long enough to let me go in. I got off at 8am so I could feed, milk, etc. Decided I needed to have coffee first...

My pain has a timer. It comes around 8 am, leaves by 9am. Comes back at 4pm, gone by 5pm. Wth???

In answer to your question, SFC, I still have all my 'bits'. Never had any probs. w/ them before but I suppose anything's possible. In fact my husband thinks I'm the bees knees b/c all the menfolk he's worked with / hung out with have wives w/ 'female troubles' or who have PMS-type issues. He's heard a few really awful horror stories about ladies who are sick the whole time or in pain / can't function.... He always says, "You'd never even know she has a period."

I got a tremendous amount of stuff done yesterday but I have a mountain of stuff ahead of me...I love spring, but wish I could just skip over the icky parts and do the fun stuff.
I need to spray the driveway for weeds. We have a big driveway / parking area and it goes down to the barn.
Gotta spray the fronts (N. facing) sides of the garage, house, and barns....ugly green moss growing on them.
Need to clean out the flower beds (not yet, we may still get frost and the leaves are protecting the plants).
Gotta get potting mix and such ready for the seeds I want to plant in the greenhouse.
And about 782 other things....

I'll be glad when DH gets used to working again. So far he comes home, whines for a while, eats, sleeps in his chair, then wakes up and complains about having to do it again the next day, then goes to bed. FUN!

Today I'll be cleaning out the silkie pen (I really should take pics so y'all can see it, DH put it in his bunny barn and it's pretty cool.)
Gotta take a couple baby goats to the vet later....minor issues.
Start on the above list.....

I got some baby goat pics yesterday, if I get a chance (it rains or I'm stuck waiting for someone later) I'll get 'em posted.
Have a glorious day, folks.

Sweet merciful heavens I need a case of Calgon.

This morning after chores I cleaned the silkie pen and got half the porch cleaned off.

The hatchery I ordered chicks from called, they won't be shipping on time...so then I had to call / email the various people who're buying some to tell them NOT to come this weekend...

Had to take a couple baby goats to the vet at 1pm (one had a salivary cyst, the other was peeing out his umb. cord - both fixed now), then run home and bottle feed, then head to the license branch to get DH's new truck titled, then run back home to meet customers. (Keep in mind we're out in the boonies so when we go, it's at least a 30 mintute 'run' to town.)

Dealt w/ the 2 customers and noticed Levi wasn't eating her dinner...and had goo....oh great, she's in labor.

Delivered those twins and then had to feed, milk, etc. Got all that squared away and it was about time to bottle feed the older kids and milk out Levi's colostrum.

Now I'm waiting for 10pm so I can feed the newborns again.

Tomorrow I have someone coming to buy a cold frame I no longer need, then when DH gets home we're delivering the 2 preggo LaManchas to their new owner. I hope to finish the porch (having a big porch is nice but keeping it free from leaves is a PITB.) and maybe get started filling some seed starting stuff w/ potting soil.

Took everything off the porch, hosed the dust / dead spiders / etc. off, hosed the porch down, then cleaned the windows. I tried to use my magic powers to get everything to go back where it belongs mentally but....it didn't work....so I had to do it manually.

When DH got home we busted through chores then loaded up the 2 preggo LaManchas and took them to their new home. *whew* I was starting to worry that they'd kid here.

Then we disbudded 2 kids.

I fried some Pete's Pride pork fritters and we had those and fresh cut veggies for supper, I was too tired to do anything more complicated.

Now I'm fittin' to take a shower and then collapse in my chair w/ Fiddles...until it's time to feed the babies.

Hope everyone's having a good week.

if you ever get those magic powers figured out, let me in on the trick. I'd like to use that tactic myself.

Oh my gosh! After looking more at your website I realized that your Nubian Foxy Gal has the same sire as my two spotted Nubians! It's a small world!

6 degrees of separation and you two are separated by goats!

This is where I got them.

Mama's were really nice.

Daddy was huge. Only thing I didn't like about him was he was steep in the rump. But he was a beauty! She doesn't have him anymore though.
