Baby goaties year two

So some of you heard about the fabulous Billy who we lent to Becky last summer. Well Billy is now proven or at least will be within a couple of days/ weeks. Out of my 8 nannies, 7 are pregnant and the other most likely will be soon.  If she isn't already. So I figure I will be getting between 8 and 12 new baby goats. Some will twin out. We are also hatching out chickens and ducks. But I have to have a talk with my roosters though. When we candled we had 10 infertile eggs. With three roosters that shouldn't be happening. Apparently the roosters would rather fight that breed. That doesn't work well with my plan. Hopefully I will have pictures soon of new goaties!

Where I stand

Its the last weekend of the month, its also the end of the first quarter of the year. Wow, that went by fast! Where do I stand with my goals you ask. Quite well.
 I have lost not 10 but 15 lbs. I have finished tying a quilt for my bed, I have started walking at night and worked on my house, and am working out at home. I have not taken many pictures or have worked on the outline of my book.
This is how my first quarter has gone.
January I worked... a lot!!! I had one paycheck with 93 hours on it.

February I got my computer virus, lost a couple of patients and got 63 hours on one check.

March- things are mellowing out. I have averaged out on hours, got dental insurance and have had a minute to enjoy life. I got the flu/ cold which knocked me out but I worked through it.
So now the question is What will April bring!!!

Wow! It hit 50 degrees! Woo Hoo!!!

Yes, You heard me right! 50 degrees! What did I do to celebrate? I cleaned my cars. I mean vacuumed, scrubbed, the whole nine yards.  I now have three clean vehicles. The car might stay that way for a while, but I drive that every day. The van will stay clean until the kids get in it. The Isuzu will stay that way until I start driving it again in the winter. Its a vicious cycle. But it made me feel good. three hours of scrubbing my finger nails off. I'm glad I took my acrylic nails off. After today, they would have fallen off.

Some people need to be slowly roasted over a hot fire!!!!!!

This has not been a good week for me. I worked 6 days in a row, two of which were very long, Got to have my boss follow me, oh and least I forget, got infected by a malware virus, which resulted in me getting my computer reformatted. No I am not happy. I personally feel that people who do this have nothing better to do with their lives and need to be sent cleaning up the sides of our highways where the will actually contribute something to humanity, or slowly roasted over a very hot fire. I'm good either way.

In my attempt to not reformat, I got to talk to a slew of individuals who should not be in computer support. My basic conversations included them telling me I cant fix my own computer and I needed to take it to a " computer expert" where they can charge me 180-200.00 to fix my computer. Don't ever tell me what I can and can not do thank you. needless to say these conversations didn't end well. I reformatted. Ben said I took the easy way out, I think I prevented my computer from being thrown out a window.

The Plan

This is a whining post... Readers beware!

The Plan:

Today is Thursday... My day off. All week I have been planning to go to Ogden and see my sister and my new niece, then go to Logan and attend a staff meeting and drop off a gift to my bosses baby shower. Afterwords I will go home, relax and plan dinner.

The Reality:

This morning I woke up with a upset stomach among other things. Ben informed me I was pale. Guess what I got. Yup the stomach flu. I even know where I got it. So now I don't get to see my sister, because I don't want to get her sick. I won't be going to Logan. I get to stay home and be sick. yip friggin ee

Do I really need a 23 inch moniter..... hummmm

So every female knows that it take at least one month to recover from the Christmas holidays. Money wise I'm speaking. This if for a couple of reasons. 1) the money you saved for the holidays are all spent 2) for some reason your gas and power bills go up 3) you are coming down from the spending spirit. So for me January is void month so to speak. I haven't saved any money however all my bills are paid. It also doesn't help that I have had to replace all my scrubs due to weight loss and had to get a new keyboard as mine had a mishap.  Ben for some reason doesn't understand this. Yes I have explained this too him.

Anyways, things are looking up and February is looking to be a good month. 1) I have worked loads of overtime 2) all the bills are paid.

I asked Ben what he wanted for his birthday. He replied that we have no money. See where this gets frustrating. I have explained this to him over and over again. So I explain this to him again. His response " I don't know, what do you want for yours?" Well I know what i want. A new monitor for my computer or a new lens for my camera. Both cost the same. He just looks at me... " do you really need a new monitor?" Well no I don't; however, it's my birthday wish... right.

Other news... I have lost 40 pounds and am on tract to lost the last of the 10 lbs that I planned on losing by the end of March. Yay!!!!! From the looks of it, most of my house will be under construction this year and I actually have colors picked out for the front room, my bathroom and my bedroom. We are getting rid of the green and going to a coppery brown in the front room. I think there will be two rooms in the house that won't be painted or redone in some way. Brady's room and a downstairs bedroom.

Spring is not here!

OK, I'm tired of winter! Seriously! I hate the cold, snow, etc. I'm not a big fan of summer either. Too hot! I love the spring and the fall. In the spring, the flowers are blooming, it cool but not hot. The fall, the leaves are changing color and the kids are back in school. Good times. BUT!!! right now I am stuck in the house with three kids that have cabin fever and are currently driving me nuts! I NEED SPRING!!!! Or I need to visit TJ, Diana and Dee in Phoenix. I'll hitch a ride with Becky, she won't mind... I think. I keep telling them I'm coming, but this thing called work keeps preventing me. Dang responsibility.
