city girl turned farm girl


Yesterday we went out to the farm to help Michael's dad sort his heifers. I've done it before and never really thought twice about it but this time was very different. Whenever they start to run at you you have to make a lot of movement and scare them back to where they were coming from. However, this time I was very scared and uncomfortable doing it considering I am carrying our baby. Eventually I just went and sat on the corner post and let the men do it. I’m not sure how much they appreciated that, but I was not about to sacrifice our baby for those darn heifers. I think a lot of you guys would be surprised about how much I know and do on the farm with Michael and his dad. At first I think they just took me out there for entertainment purposes (because I was so dumb and didn’t know anything or how to do anything) but now I actually help and drive the tractors and whatnot. I’m pretty impressed by myself out there. Right now Michael is yelling at me because he wants to get out to the farm again and I am stalling terribly. Guess I better obey the boss.

part of your post reminded me of Paris Hilton.

Sounds like you are starting to get the hang of it now.
