On Monday I managed to leave work early. I left at 4.30 pm, stopped at the grocery store on the way home and did the weekly shopping for food, all I had to do was put away all that I had bought when I got home.
Having put the groceries away I sat down for about 30 minutes and then second shift beckoned me. I had mowed the lawn on Sunday and not managed to get the weed eating done, so as “hubby put the small 6 ft mower on the tractor and tidied up the corral with it, I used the weed eater around the house and barns while keeping an eye on him, so I was handy to open and shut gates without him having to get on and off all the time.
We got in the house at 9.00 pm. Had a shower and watched the ten o’clock news. Hubbys 5.00 am alarm would be ringing soon, as would my 7.00 am, so off went the light and we setled down to sleep with the gentle roll of a welcome thunderstorm in the background lulling us to sleep.
There is a third shift when it comes to ranching, but at least it is seasonal. Third shift comes with foul weather, feeding before heading off to work and joy of joys, calving.
I love it!
