We're glad to have survived the past week. We started planting corn this week and it's been a marathon. We were rather short on help, one of our hired men leaving for the week and another having to take 3 days off, it's been a lot of LONG days. Since we plant around the clock it's been all we could do to keep the tractor going. Add into the mix pivots that still are not entirely up, working ground and filling trenches around them, furnishing and preparing a house for an H2A worker, and hauling silage and wood chips and you've got yourself a full week.
It takes everyone in our family to survive. The kids job is one of cooperation and tolerance as they are often stuck in tractors and trucks for long hours. I fill in where I can and try to keep everyone fed and our household running. And we all do our best to give Brent a little extra space and extra hugs.
As the kids and I were headed home at 10:00 pm one night from working ground, I told Hudson he could have some cereal once we got home and then asked what else he would need to do before bed?
He replied "Pop popcorn and watch a movie."
"What!? I don't think so, it's late, late, late!" I half screamed, trying to keep my sanity.
Did he not realize this was a very abnormal and messed up schedule for a little kid?
I guess not.
He can't tell time, so it really wasn't that big of a deal to him. As a matter of fact, I think he thoroughly enjoyed himself this week. He got to take his lunch box and stick horse with him, spend time playing at Grandma's and spend lot of time with his Dad (10 hours in just one day.)
If only Brent and I had viewed the past week as a kid.
No worries.
