Regrets

I hate them, we all have them, and sometimes we can do something about it in the future.

My biggest regret right now is having sold a doe back in the fall.  I didnt want to do it my mom sort of made me.  I had to make a decision on who to keep and who to sell and well that doe got the cut.  I didn't want to do it but it was the right decision at the time and I know in my heart I should have done it.  BUT that doesnt make me not feel the regret right?

I emailed the lady I sold her to and told her if she ever sells her I would love to buy her back.  Now I am hoping that I am able to purchase her if that opportunity ever arrises.

Below is a picture of Midnite Star -- yeesh what was I thinking!  *tears*

AHHHHH so excited!!

Babies soon!  

Jitterbug is on day 136 
Angie is on day 135  
Lola is on day 131
Sweet Pea is on day 127

I took some days off work -- I hope they kid when I can be home - but either way I just want healthy kids.  I have so many people wanting kids I cant believe it.  I just now need the kids to sell.  

The plan isn't to keep any this year from this batch, may keep a doe kid from Mocha if she has one in June but thats a while away so I have time to consider.  

These will be the first "Dude" babies I am super excited and hoping for a Zee daughter from Lola.  

And who knows what colors I will get, thats half the excitement!!!!

Goat bellies

This is Sweet Pea -- she gave me quads 2 years in a row - looks like she is going to make it 3 in a row

Angie is on her second freshoning -- she had twins her first time.  Triplets + run in her family.  Expecting twins from her again though

Lola is on her 4th freshioning.  She has had a single and then two sets of twins.  Expecting twins from her again this year.


This is Jitterbug - she is on her first freshioning.  I am hoping fro twins from her -- I know this picture doesnt show it well but she is fairly nicely round.  - she is my first doe due.

This is Jitterbug and Lola better belly pictures so you can see their size :D

What Faith Can Do Lyrics


 Everybody falls sometimes
Gotta find the strength to rise
From the ashes and make a new beginning
Anyone can feel the ache
You think it’s more than you can take
But you are stronger, stronger than you know
Don’t you give up now
The sun will soon be shining
You gotta face the clouds
To find the silver lining

I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn’t ever end
Even when the sky is falling
And I’ve seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That’s what faith can do

It doesn’t matter what you’ve heard
Impossible is not a word
It’s just a reason for someone not to try
Everybody’s scared to death
When they decide to take that step
Out on the water
It’ll be alright
Life is so much more
Than what your eyes are seeing
You will find your way
If you keep believing

I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn’t ever end
Even when the sky is falling
And I’ve seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That’s what faith can do

Overcome the odds
You don't have a chance
(That’s what faith can do)
When the world says you can’t
It’ll tell you that you can!

I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn’t ever end
Even when the sky is falling
And I’ve seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That’s what faith can do
That's what faith can do!
Even if you fall sometimes
You will have the strength to rise

Can Anybody Hear Me - Meredith Andrews

I’m staring at these empty walls
Wondering when You’ll visit me again
When will You come?

If there is anything at all
Coming in between our love
Please show me, ‘cause I am barely hanging on

Can anybody hear me?
The silence is deafening
Why do you feel so far away?

When I know You’re here with me
But I just need the faith to see
Nothing can separate me from Your love
From Your love

Believing what I can’t see
Has never come naturally to me
And I’ve got questions

But I am certain of a love
Strong enough to hold me when I’m doubting
You’ll never let go of my hand

Can anybody hear me?
The silence is deafening
Why do you feel so far away?

When I know You’re here with me
But I just need the faith to see
Nothing can separate me from Your love

I will trust in You
Even in the moments I can’t find You
And I will hold onto your promises of love
You’ve failed before

I know that You can hear me
When the silence is deafening
Even though you seem far away
And I know You are here with me
But I just need the faith to see
Nothing can separate me from Your love

Can anybody hear me?
The silence is deafening
Why do you feel so far away?

When I know You’re here with me
But I just need the faith to see
Nothing can separate me from Your love

Things I think about at midnight

Tomorrow I have to work - thats normal.  But I figured I should sort of prepare ahead of time what I will wear.  I realize that my dresser drawers are almost empty (down to the stuff I don't wear unless I have to!) and my hamper is overflowing.  UGH I despise doing laundry and I have no idea why since its simple to do and I can watch movies on my laptop while folding and hanging stuff up.  

I also have an aversion to taking showers (please dont be alarmed I do take showers).  Its like I have to psych myself up for it.  I know, not normal, but hey its me. 

What do you have an aversion to?  comment below

I also visited my horse Kash in the past couple days -- will have to put up a story about that - as I never mentioned Kash before.  I have owned Kash since June of 2009



Eating, what he does best












Mud - what we get to look forward to as things warm up and all the snow melts

Nothing -- and everything

So I feel like I should say something but there isnt anything particular to talk about.  Lots of little things happening.

Like I lost my camera!! how awful is that!  Going to Walmart tomorrow probably and will see what they have available for 50.00 since thats all I should spend in hopes that I will find the wayward camera who walked out on me :P

Goats past the 100 day mark and are bearing down on the the last month of pregnancy.  I think twins all around.  But Sweet Pea likes to hide her quads so thats still a possibility but twins or triplets will be fine with me.

You know what I did today?  Spilled my hotchocolate on and IN my purse.  UGH  now I have all my receipts, calendar, notes to self, cash, and coach purse drying out on my bed. :(  Sometimes I can be such a klutz.  (Of course if I hadn't lost my camera there would be a picture of this for you all to see and laugh at.  But maybe its a good thing I lost that camera :P

We have recently enjoyed a taste of spring.  I went out without a coat on, danced in the mud and the puddles haha.  Oh spring I want you to come quickly with all your muddy glory :D
