It was sunny and almost hot today ... around 85 at noon ... I tried to stand in shade as much as I could while
helping with today's project
Cow /calf vaccination went almost without a hitch yesterday ...Bo (husband) got his foot stepped on by a calf he
was trying to direct to the weaning pen and it didn't want to leave mommy ...black and blue this morning but OK...
nobody said a thing to him when it happened ... this morning I blamed it on the AN
Today we built a fenced in pen around the chicken house ...the girls 4-H chicks are about ready to turn out and
needed a safe place to run around in fresh air... Bo was hammering a fencing staple through wire into the corner of
the chicken house ...he had started it and then placed his free hand flat against the side of building maybe 8 inches
from the staple ...somehow he whacked his thumb... I said it had to be AN related
... I did kiss it to make it
better after he quit jumping around and I quit laughing ... he gave me a dirty look and asked if I had put a jinx on him ...
I know neither was funny but I had to blame them on something other than what they were ...just accidents ... I think
I am becoming a bit of a smart a** ... I think he may be getting my point a little ...
I read that farms are on the top ten list of jobs with high rate of accidents ... they are going to happen ...luckily we don't
usually have anything serious like my hand and not so often as the past two days ... if I am gonna live here and be part of
it I need everyone to back off... regardless of what it seems I do know my limits and don't do things I think will get me
or others in trouble or hurt...
A friend that also helps at school alot and I are almost always together at school ... copying , playground duty , aide work in
a class if a teacher is going to be gone more than a few minutes but not long enough for a sub to come in ...whatever
needs doing that our school board won't pay someone to do to free teachers to teach
she gets it so totally and my frustration with reactions of people around me ... when I wobble she wobbles , when I do my
funny heel toe heel toe movement when I come to a stop she does it too...if I bump something she follows suit ... if I
yawn she does too... we have everyone thinking we are nuts but they leave me alone more ... but they have stopped
bugging me and asking if I am OK or if I should sit or lay down or if I am tired and need to go home ... we were subbing in
different halls last week and for once no one popped their head in to check on me ... they just let me do what I was there
to do ... play teacher to a bunch of first graders ...
