Besides my kids, I'm not genetically related to anyone in the state. That made me lonely for a long time...I wanted to raise my kids in a "village" by which I mean looked after and loved by many.. And by loved, I mean loved enough to be corrected when they aren't living up to their... Continue Reading →
My husband said some pretty terrible things to me before he left this morning for work. Things like "Please do some laundry, no one has clean underwear" and "Will you wash some dishes, they are starting to smell" On my day off! Can you imagine? What a terrible way to talk to your spouse. My... Continue Reading →
Going through the last couple days in reverse.... The cattle are ok. (Last post) They are past the waiting period the Veterinarians said to be in alert and all is well. The fence building/county and city worker stuff seems to have been worked out, so we shall see about that. It was the kids last... Continue Reading →
I had an Ag Committee meeting at work tonight and didn't get out of it till 8:30. I called Lynn expecting him to be starting the bedtime process with the girls.

She can scream and fake cry for literally hours, until one of the... Continue Reading →
I worked this morning at our county 4-H horse show. It was a smaller than usual crowd, but everyone was happy, efficient and worked hard. I enjoy watching the kids have good rides, reminds me if all the BAD show rides I had on my crazy mean horse growing up. Good times. (Word of wisdom:... Continue Reading →
I woke up this morning cuddled between two warm snuggling girls, who had quietly slunk into our room during the night. I love snuggles. It snuggles was a drug, I'd be an addict. Lynn dressed the rascals and fixed their lunches. The kids went to school with no complaints. We had a much needed evening... Continue Reading →
