I know. That was funny !

Right?! Well I was thinking it was like trying to herd cats(actually had to do that as a volunteer at a local animal sanctuary!) Or trying to herd a group of toddlers! As goats are very similar to toddlers…if they see something new, anything interesting, a path/area they aren’t typically allowed into or lord forbid something truly interesting like a toy for toddlers or green area/leaves for goats…they will do everything in their power to go there & become completely deaf to anything you say!!😂 -I briefly worked at a daycare where I worked with 2yr olds & trying to get them to leave the toy play are for lunch & then getting them to come in for snack & nap time was a practice in patience every single time! Even after the same group of toddlers had the exact same routine 4-6 days a week for months!! Unfortunately unlike goats who will avoid puddles at all costs…puddles or literally ANY form of water has the gravitational pull of a thousand suns to toddlers! If there was even the tiniest puddle on the short path to the outside play area literally *every single* 2yr old HAD to stomp thru it or bend down to slap it with both palms to splash themselves!🙄 Yet SO MANY of their parents couldn’t/refused to understand WHY we required *at least* 2 full changes of clothes for that age group plus an extra on rainy/wet days!🤯🙄 We had between 12-18 2yr olds in that class yet each parent fully expected the 5 of us teachers/assistants to be able to hold *their* child’s hand in order to prevent them splashing in puddles.🙄😒Quickly discovered that job DID NOT pay enough!! And it wasn’t working with the kids that made the job so stressful…it was the parents!! Not a single day went by without MULTIPLE parents making insane, totally unrealistic & impossible requests/demands OR being angry & yelling at us for either not complying with their previous insane requests/demands or for something completely out of our control! For example…I had a mom not only cuss at me but call me all manner of insulting vile names bc her kid had a singular mosquito bite on his arm when she picked him up!! We had centranela(sp?)plants planted all around the play & pick up areas along with both mosquito repellent & traps throughout placed higher than the kids could reach. So it was rare for them to get bit. This was the 1st time this kid had gotten a mosquito bite there despite having been there 9-10yrs a day 5 days a week all summer! And no the kid wasn’t allergic to them. I told my boss who review video footage of the incident with sound & then just shrugged at me & told me “it’s part of the job” & refused to even talk to that mom other than to APOLOGIZE for the mosquito bite!!🤯🤯😡Yea…$9.50/hr wasn’t worth being verbally abuse & verbally or even physically threatened daily! Sorry for the tangent.

I am so sorry for your loss Glamrock. I hope fond memories of times spent with him will comfort you.

@@betsywyks8277 i have not spoken to him for a many years as we fell out but i have a few good memories of what i do have but thank you so much.

I'm so sorry!

@@BlueCactusDairyGoats thank you Crystal.

🙄

You are absolutely right. She yells for Crystal. 🤣🤣

You did!

That sounds totally miserable!

@@mindyvanhorn3199 it can be for sure !

Well Crystal your not alone in the rain department. Here in Warda, Tx. . We have had rain since Sunday. Thank you Lord as we need to badly.

Ditto!!! ALL THE HARD WORK HELPS ALL THE WAY AROUND!! YOU HAVE REALLY G-O-O-D K -I-D-S!! Their being away really takes that edge off them. Not you. You must find a peacefull way for yourself. Go use one of your relaxing soaps in a bath this afternoon. YOU ARE WORTH IT!! YOUR MOM; EVERYTHING FALLS BACK TO YOU!! WE your watchers wish you relaxation on a daily basis. Do any of your friends do massaging or any type of relaxation, where you could get a time out for yorself. PLEASE DO THIS FOR YOURSELF. I WISH I COULD AFFORD TO SEND YOU ONE. I CAN'T EVEN AFFORD A BAR FOR MYSELF. YOU MAKE IT, CALL IT "RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT". WHICH WOULD WORK THE BEST ON YOU!!! WHEN I DID CRAFTING I CALLED IT R+D (RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT) R&D. THE SACHETS for your drawers / closets, fragrant & keep- moths+ other clothes eating bugs out, ''Peter Rabbit'' scenes series of 6 eggs (easter mostly) &, recycle pine cones & candle stubs fireplace burning things. Couldn't keep any of it in stock. I understand it for you. God gave you a fabulous husband. He reminds me of my Dad. He builds anything, I just had to give him a drawing, the measurements & off he''d go. From the time I was a little girl. He taught me to think it over, draw it out then we'd measure it together. He helped me redo my kicthen, I came home & he'd taken it down to the studs in 12 hrs. I've seen your husband do that with your kids. Teach'em when their young. DAD did that with his grandchildren. He & they loved it. They'd come over with a drawing in their hand. I had to keep from laughing. Then I got hurt at work - screwed up everything. Worked 12hr shifts -in ICU then did nannying on the side plus my crafts I couldn't do that anymore either. Enjoy even the bad days!!! I'd give just about anything to be at your ranch with you. I'd take one of your bad days any day- chronic pain l chest 24/7 every breath in & out. Watching you and your family work together helps some with the pain. So thank you. For everything you do. Seeing the editting, feeding, milking plus everything else. My hand hurts from to much hunt & pecking. Know my prayers are with each one of you It's a well oiled machine. Congradulations!!! From gold country in the Sierra Nevada mountains; Grass Valley. You have straight roads, all mine are curvy Whine. I'll shut-up now. Thank you, Mary

Crystal girl you are so on it with the goats . Your amazing and wonderful with your goals. I'm excited that you will be having some much needed R&rR for yourself. You deserve you feet rubbed and day at the spa for sure if anyone earned it is you

Yeah I don’t have her patience. I got my first milk goat less than a week ago. She kicks a bucks. I told my husband hold her legs before I cut them off. 😆 obviously I won’t do that but I’m not sure I’m liking goat milking. I grew up with jersey cows. Much easier!!!!
