Stepping back.

April 26, 2012 by Adrienne

Yesterday, I posted an ad on Craigslist to sell our goats. After holding onto them long past needing them, it was time. I’m stretched thin with too many things to do and not enough time to get it all done, and milking goats was not real high on my list of things I wanted to have to do when few of our family members even like goat milk.

So, yesterday, an ad. Today, I posted about wanting to be done with them on Facebook.

This afternoon, they drove away to a new home. They’ve become pets, so it was a bit sad, but I guarantee you no one was sad tonight when they didn’t have to go do goat chores.

I can’t even tell you how much weight was just lifted off of me. Awesome.

    Thanks! Freedom. You know, as much freedom as caring for six children but no goats allows!
