The Farmers Wife

Being a farmers wife has it's rewards but also has it's disadvantages. Because of our circumstances with our kids I believe it is a blessing. The Sun up till Sun down thing becomes very annoying. It will be 10 years this year that we have been married and I have still not gotten used to it. It's at that time of night when kayos starts. The kids are all hyper and making messes and I begin to curse the farming life. I start daydreaming about how wonderful it would be to for Tyler to have a 9 to 5. All the things I could get done. Especially if he could be home on a Saturday. Then I awake to reality and we continue with a couple hrs of crazy. It is after the crazy and they are all to bed that I begin to reflect on the day and realize how much he really does for me. First off my husband from day one of our first child Jaxsten he has helped change diapers. Because we have been with the diaper thing for eight years now I truly appreciate this. A great advantage of the farming thing is when I really need him he is there. There is so many times I am stuck somewhere or running late and the kids need to be picked up from the bus and I can call him to my rescue. Often he takes them with him on the farm when I need. One of the greatest blessings is when we have an emergency with the kids or have to spend some time in the Hospital (which happens more than we would like) He is always there with us. He is a WONDERFUL dad. He is good with his boys and great with his girls. He and Sayler have a special bond. He can get her to do or say things no one else can, and she loves kissing daddy's hairy face. It takes a very special man to raise special kids. All in all I feel the good out does the bad. I appreciate all the hard hard work he does to keep the bills paid and food on the table. All the freezing or hot temperatures he endures and the long hard working hours. I am so grateful for my husband and all he puts up with...ME. I'm proud to be The Farmer's Wife.
