Anything to do with Me?

Well, after much reflection on this little bloggy thingy, I've discovered that I've spent an awful lot of time discussing Reiny and how she's doing and very little do with myself and my days. I supposed that has a great deal to do with the fact that my day starts and ends with "mommy," but nevertheless, there's still more to me than just "Mommy." I thought that I'd take you through my day today. I had originally planned on cleaning my house and attacking the growing pile of laundry that has now seemed to take on a mind of its own and all but grown arms and legs capable of beating me senseless for leaving it unattended this long. However, after a timely phone call from my Father-in-law about the impending threat of a rainstorm, Reiny, Jordan, and I hustled out of the house and out to the ranch to finish bailing a pivot. Jordan (the sweatheart) took Reiny with him on some service calls while I started bailing. Chase finished raking in front of me and then we went to lunch. During lunch the wind picked up and I ate and ran back to my bailer to finish what I could of the field before everything was destoyed by the wind. Jordan took Reiny, again, with him to water down the corrals for preg testing tomorrow (that's where we check to see if the cows are pregnant). I bailed my little heart out until the tractor gave an unfamiliar lurch and started sputtering. I looked down to see the fuel gauge blinking ominously at me and I shut off the engine. Wouldn't you know it...out of fuel and less than half a row left to bail! In any case, we've already hit 550 bails on the one pivot alone which brings us to a grand total somewhere around 5800 bails (give or take a few). Now all we have left (minus the half a row on this pivot and some side hills) is 2nd crop on 2 other pivots. That should be about another 700-900 bails and we're done!!! Yippee!!! So back to my day...after running out of fuel I called Jordan to bring me some more, but he was going to be busy for a little while and Reiny needed a nap so I came back here to put her down, but my work was not over. Just as I started composing this eloquent posting I heard cows mooing ferociously outside and I had to grab my shoes and head off a coo being staged by some runaway cows. Jordan and Chase were trying to get them in the corral for tomorrow's testing, but they wanted little to do with that! In any case, the cows are in the corral, the tractor's still out of fuel, Reiny's asleep, my laundry has probably now gotten up and headed for the hills, and it has yet to rain today! So much for that!
