Right now, our crew is split up four ways which means I have been needed in the field a lot more then usual.
Yesterday, I thought we were just going to help the guys move to a field but it turned into a whole day event! I got up and got the guys sandwiches made and sent them off. So then, its time to get the kids ready for the day. This can be a chore especially with my three year old! Once that was finally taken care of, I started to do my dishes from the night before because who really wants to do dishes at 12:30 am?! Got the first load of laundry in and then I got the phone call to come help.
So, we packed up our things and headed to the field. Once we got there, we moved to the next field. Then, it was time for me to run and get fuel in the back of the pickup. I sent Bentley with Mychal and Payzlee and I went on our way to the fuel station!
While I was there, I met the nicest man! He came over and helped me since he saw that I was stuggling while trying to get the hose in the top since I am a little short! He told me that if he owned this gas station, he wouldn’t let me do this alone!!
I got back to the field and thought I could go back to the camper. Well, they had to move again in an hour so it didn’t pay to go back. Instead, we jumped in with Mychal and spent some time with him. They have been working long hours so Bentley was happy to see Daddy!
After we were finally done moving, I got back to town and decided to head to the dollar store to find something different for Bentley to do. I bought a few bags of beans and a large tote! He has had so much fun with it!
This morning I went and dropped Mychal off at the field so I could have a pickup and then had to go get more fuel. Finally, finished that and headed back to the camper but had to make a stop at John Deere to get a part. At this time, both kids are sleeping and I was 2 miles away from JD. I think it would be really nice if there was a DRIVE THRU (haha)! It would have been a lot easier then waking the kids to go get a part in 5 min!!
Sorry this is a little long! I am not really good at writing journals but I am willing to do it!!
