my life as a farmer's wife ...

it's that time of year again for our family!!

the time of year that brian is gone before we wake up and home after we go to sleep. the time of year that gets me a tad stressed out being a "single parent" for a couple of months! the time of year that i get to do all of the baths, homework, dishes, picking up, cleaning, laundry, kid activities, family gatherings, yard work, errands, grocery shopping, ect. all.by.myself. ( i know you all get the pic, it just makes me feel better to type it ALL out ... LOL ) brian is such a great dad & hubby! he puts as much work into our home and our kiddos as i do, so when he is working so much there is definitely a difference around here. the time of year when i actually pray for it to rain once in awhile ( shhhh ... don't tell the farmers i actually do that! heehee ). the time of year when i crave a few moments of kid free mommy time. the time of year when i am thankful i have such a hard working hubby that works very hard for us which in return allows me to stay at home with my wee ones!

did i ever think i would be calling myself a farmer's wife? .... uh .... nope! did i have a hard time adjusting to being a farmer's wife the last couple of years? .... uh ... YEP! i really honestly only know the basics that's for sure! i know what field he is in and when, ya know ... the important stuff. ;) i have no deep desire to get out there and run the equipment nor do i want to sport all of the john deere gear ... LOL! i will, however, be my hubby's #1 supporter and bring him dinner when requested! ;) i appreciate all that he does for us and if missing him for a couple of months is all it takes, i can handle that!!!
