I've done it again. That's my latest thought. I made a plan, and God got a chuckle. When I planned to have kids the end of December / first of January, God must have decided that I was getting a bit more "out of control" and decided that he was just going to do it HIS way, and now ... here I am ... having waited more than 2 weeks for kids. Now for those that know me, you know I've been THINKING it is any day now. And for those that really know me, you know that I am not the most patient of people. And for my family, yes, I am admitting that my lack of control is beyond frustrating and has now gone all the way to ... "are you sure these boer goats are REALLY pregnant????"
I have spent the past two weeks babying my girls (boer goat does). I have taken them warm water every evening. I have bought them treats (bribery MIGHT work) that are for goats (they smell like licorice - no idea what they really taste like) and my goats love them. I have been scratching necks and backs - and now, I think these girls are just enjoying the pampering so much they've decided that they can forgo delivery for just another day or two ...
And now, it's apparent, I've lost my flippin' mind! I am to the point that I am giving these girls credit for so much more planning than ever could have been possible. BUT, it passes the time, makes me laugh at myself and to be honest, causes me to continue to believe that "it's any time now!" Ahhh... the bliss of lost minds!
As soon as I do have kids, I am going to post new photos to the Llama Ridge Ranch & Boer Goats, Too! website. And from that point on, I might manage to find my mind again.
... off to continue listening to God laugh!
