The new farmers wife

As in modern farmers wife... thinking about blogging about the farm... since that's getting more on my to do list everyday...

First off I want to perk some interest, hoping some other farm ladies will find my blog and tell me their story as being the farmers wife...

Here's mine... in a nutshell... since my computer is only giving me about 20 minutes...

Let's start with the fact that I did not grow up on a farm... never thought I'd fall in love with a farmer... but I did :) And after being married for 10 years, we finally live ON a farm for more then 2 years now... So exciting and so challenging at the same time!!!

My priority is still my kids!! (1-6-8-10) As they still need me, even the older ones, to get ready for school, and after school to assist with homework and no fighting, I am at this point NOT a milking farmers wife (sad but true) BUT hubby has enough people working for him, so I am not missed at all...

I am like the superstar when all else fails... or with other words: when there is a cow calving and the workers are all gone and hubby needs assistance with pulling off the calf or calves, I am there for him... And at night, I go out and scrape the 'poop' so the ladies aren't too dirty in the morning... Push up the feed (by next year I might have some muscles and do a quicker job at it)

I love catering for them all, so we introduced everyone to our Dutch standards: COFFEE after milking!! :)

Looking forward to your story, and hoping people will find this post through google!! :)
