I am still alive...

I just thought that instead of reading about everyone elses 'oh so interesting' lives, I should go and live mine....and it's been one hell of a month! ('scuse the french)

~That was french?~

We bought two clunker cars as our other newer van could not be registered without major overhaul.
My Darling Dearest has been working weekends for the last month. That means, that I get to do EVERYTHING around here myself, because he is working his guts out, and when he gets home he melts into the couch from exhaustion.

We also had(and still have) a goat issue....
*(Here comes the long winded story/explanation)*

She got into the chicken feed and got bloat. I spent the next two(or was it three?) days force feeding her tums, massaging her stomach, and walking her around the pasture. THEN when she started to look like she felt better I decided that I should milk her so she didn't dry up. As I was doing this I noticed that she was bleeding from her privates..... SO
(back in time)

When we got "Nanny" we got her for a milk goat, and she had just been freshened. But when we got there to pick her up she was in with (and under) a billy, who didn't want to see her go. So we knew she had been "exposed". I read that you can't tell with goats until about the last month( unless you get the vet) if they are pregnant. And IF she was pregnant, she wouldn't be due until the middle of November. SO...

(back to the present)

After I seen the blood I assumed that the bloat had made the babies stillborn and that they were coming out. I ran to the store and bought anything and everything that I might need to help Nanny and her kids survive.( i.e. iodine, pads for the kids to be born on, floss for the umbilical cord...exc...) Then I read everything I could about delivering both live and stillborn kids for the next two days while running out there every hour to check on her....
That was last week.
Still no baby's.
She walks like they have dropped.( like she has a kid in her crotch), but she is getting around alright, and she has stopped bleeding.... I WISH I HAD MONEY FOR A VET...but I don't.
So I am just waiting. I don't know if , maybe she was just in heat...and I am dumb, or what???
But then why would she be walking like that? I just hope and pray that by some miracle that her kids are alright .
I dunno.

All that plus:
Getting my oldest boy glasses.
Getting my oldest girl to the dentist.
Getting a new niece...
Potty training
and trying to finally decide how to remodel our house. (with money we don't have)

I think I need a vacation! I guess that if life wasn't crazy we would get pretty bored though!
Thanks for checking on me! Still alive...Just need some ginseng....!!!! And a hot bath! :) One day when I finally find my long lost camera I will post some pics!
