::Sigh:: I know I should be doing something right now...but I can't remember what. I got up around 7:15 (I think) and had to "doctor" a baby goat that had hypothermia. I threw some towels in the dryer to warm them up, filled a gallon ziploc bag with hot water and started warming some water in my kettle for electrolytes to feed the baby with a syringe and stomach tube. After being swaddled in a warm towel with a "hot water bottle" of sorts, and some energy in his system, the little guy was doing much better and was ready to take back out to "Mom". But before that, I helped my sweety out in the barn getting our adopted bucklings to nurse on their new Mamas, took a whole bunch of pictures to post on facebook of the 23 "babies" in the barn, made breakfast, washed dishes, fed Missy Mae, got Mason started on school then after reintroducing "Jacob" (the buckling we warmed up in the house, so dubbed by my Sweety) to his Mama and sister (Rachel) then I came back in started a load of "goat laundry" and swept the porches and kitchen and did some "goat dishes" too :) I'm still having a little bit of a hard time using my "kitchen dishes" for the goats, not to mention my towels. It would be so nice and ideal to have an insulated room in the barn that could house an old washer and dryer and a sink, basically a wet room which we could use for all the goat's needs. I'm not trying to act citified but I don't like the whole "sharing" thing. AND I actually ::gasp:: washed my coat and coveralls the other day because they were covered in afterbirth, poop, and hay dust. I even washed my gloves...several times, and am thinking that I need another pair for a spair. Oh I remembered what I'm supposed to be doing...Making Lunch! Better run and do that, before I know it I'll need to go out again and make sure that the new babies are eating and that there aren't anymore "new" ones!
