I've got that whole silent shaking thing happening & my belly is hurting more than my last labour (gross exaggeration actually but it bloody hurts ok - a lot!) On top of this, Chris (so much for trying to sleep!) is looking at me like I just sprouted horns & a tutu......<br />Aaaannnyway.....I love this one - I was right there beside you every step of the way. xoAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03751692119139300179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1466963098416784344.post-68652785793730647252013-04-27T15:01:04.995+10:002013-04-27T15:01:04.995+10:00Hey Donna, Thanks so much for reading!

We are certainly a million more things than pretty faces (though our faces are incredibly pretty, I'm sure! ;) <br />Sounds like Farmer Phil knows what's best - to listen to his wife! My suggestions are saved as the last resort, even though I have a very good success rate! <br />I see you're from the Riverina, not that far away really... and your kids go to Yanco, ST was a Yanco kid too. <br />Cheers! :) JournoBesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07254126713763818375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1466963098416784344.post-49728577027273847852013-04-27T12:54:02.204+10:002013-04-27T12:54:02.204+10:00Amen!!

Remember, behind every farmer is an amazing wife!! Take yesterday, my Farmer Phil couldn't get a pump started so I made a suggestion and fixed the damn thing!

Because if I swear like that when mustering cattle, I would so not have enough bad words to be able to handle sheep.<br /><br />Glad you can see the funny side (now)...I once was walking about 10 head of cows back to a dam through some wattle. Went into that wattle patch with 10...came out with 6.

I can relate so well to EVERYTHING you have said and understand every single colourful expression. But best of all you're not just a farmer's wife (I hate that expression, especially on days like today when I loaded 100 steers onto a truck while husband was in town) you are becoming a farmer in your own right.
