I've recently worked out an opportunity to make serious changes for myself. It's not going to be easy in any way but it is so very necessary. Yes, it involves the big D word. Don't feel sorry about it, it's something that has needed to be done for years. Being stuck in something you can't escape always sucks and when you finally get to be rid of it, life will be much better. I can say for myself, it's already better and it's not even done yet. Either way, I'm too old to be living with a dysfunctional union. It's just time to eliminate the dysfunction.
So, while I've been doing all this other stuff, Blackie left her babies to die. Of course, I can't stand by and let that happen so now there's 3 little poop machines in the house. I'm already working on some sort of pen to put them in to at least contain the mess until it warms up enough to house them where they belong (outside!) Thankfully, these are not January repeats of Lucky and Sissy goat. Spring and warm weather are very close and I'm praying I will get them outside before they get big enough to start wiping out my seedlings! Can you imagine what the house would look like after I am gone working 10 hours and 3 little poop machines were running around? Oh no, even though this place is falling apart, it's not a barn and we don't live with messes.
Fluffy is already paper trained but the other 2 are several days younger and not anywhere near as strong yet. As they grow, I am hoping Fluffy will show them the right way. Not much you can do about the poop part, they don't seem to have much control over that.
I've got 2 windows full of growing seedlings. The funky weather and overcast days have slowed them down some and the wild temperature changes have been hard on the tomatoes but everything is still alive. My lack of patience for proper seed starting time hasn't hurt them any. Spring planting is going to look pretty good!

I really hope everything works out for you. :)
ReplyDeleteit's going to Coley. All I'm doing is eliminating what's been holding me down and holding me back from progress. I may not progress any faster than before, but it will progress, and no one will be ripping apart my efforts.
ReplyDeleteHope your positive attitude gets you through any rough times.
ReplyDeleteOh, you are so right about the dysfunction needing to go away. Actually, I thought you had gotten rid of the problem before now???
ReplyDeleteBlackie died and left three babies? Or Blackie's three babies died? That sentence was not clear to me. Well, if I could remember shit, I might remember something you said in the past to give me a clue. Which is it?
I thought you grew seedlings as goat feed. Just kidding!
LyndaKay, I hope so too. Thru everyting, I haven't lost myself or lost track of my goals so I'm just going to keep doing what I need to do to get there like I always have.
ReplyDeletePP, it's closer to final now. My struggle to keep the farm despite everything against me is close to complete.
LOL, on the seedling goat feed! It does seem like that sometimes, eh? Silly goats can't help themselves.
You go girl! Glad to hear the legal end is being finalized. Now, your work and efforts will be all yours, no one trashing what you've done or saying they will do something important and leaving the job you were counting on undone. OK, I hope you know what I mean LOL! It looks like our weather will be turning soon so those goat babies can be OUT and save those seedling snacks. Better days are coming, hang in there!
ReplyDeleteOh Kati, I know exactly what you mean and yep, that's right! No more waiting for the truth when all ya get is lies. LOL, no doubt, no seedling snacks here! Outside very soon!
ReplyDeletekeep pushing forward gal!!! caryn/n.e.ms
ReplyDeleteIf I lived closer I would help you with your baby goats. You know I would.
ReplyDeleteOh Laura, I know you would and we would laugh our asses off all day too! These little poop machines are cute and crazy all in one!
