What do you do when your give a damn breaks

I have been doing awesome with so many things. My dad losing his Job and that mess, My weight loss, Working all the time, etc. It has come to a point that I just don't have the energy to care about most things. Some people call it being neutral. I say my give a damn broke. The fact of the matter is that on some issues, things have piled up so much, I don't care anymore. I have lost all compassion for it. Sad, yes. Typical, yes. I'm still losing weight like no other, I haven't lost passion for that, I am still enjoying my job, kids, etc. For other things I don't care. Sorry.

Other updates

Now that I have complained about my apparent non nursing skills, thanks dumb ass. I am ready to talk about other news.
Skylar turned 11 last Friday. I cant believe how big the kids are getting. My baby will be 6 tomorrow. I know that other peoples babies are older, but this is my blog so I'm talking about my baby. Time seems to fly now that I'm getting older. For instance, I'm still trying to figure out what happened to April.

We ended up with 19 baby goats born, 15 lived. We bottled fed 6 of them. we have 10 living females which will be added to our herd, 5 males, which will be sold at the auction.

I have lost a total of 54 lbs. 24 lost this year. Good times.

nurse or not a nurse

What kind of skills would you consider to be nursing skills? That is the question I ran into today. My coworker was told that she wasn't a real nurse, only a diabetic nurse. Whats the difference? From what I recall a diabetic nurse was a real nurse. BTW this was told to her by a CNA. Seriously, i don't think this guy realised that us diabetic nurses can stick a tube in any opening of your body and happily create more.And we wont even feel bad. Plus this is not something I would say to someone who is about ready to handle sharp needles. This guy need a sign. DUMBASS

Farm life

I have been waiting forever for these babies to be born. We figured they would be born in March, but noooooo.  The goat above is Daisy. She was born yesterday. Her mom ( nanny ) ended up having quads. Two died in child birth :(, and one was got by a predator last night, most likely a fox.  No we are not happy and traps have been set to prevent any more of the babies from being taken.

This little girl is Genny. She was born today along with her sister Fawn. Their mom (Molly) is a pure bred Nubian and this is the first time that she had kidded for us. Mom and babies are doing well.

This is the best picture I have of Fawn, she wouldn't look at me.

A slightly better picture. Aren't they cute!

We have six more goats pregnant and I will post pictures when they get here!

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.
