My dad always used to boast that we're of "farming stock", but he was the younger son of a younger son, not sure how many generations, but any farmland belongs to distant relatives by now. We used to visit a farm in Scotland when we were kids, but I have no idea exactly who those relatives were... <br />And I know what you mean about coasting, in many ways I feel a bit out of it. Still got the kids around (and wouldn't have it any other way) but it's as scary now they are teens or thereabouts as it was when they were tinies... plus the need to work and the limited energy. Frustrates my writing urges, but I guess I have to keep treading water for now, or maybe just accept where I am now and take it from there...Hudanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2795972256750121659.post-71450078181792162602010-07-17T20:23:17.285-04:002010-07-17T20:23:17.285-04:00Salaams:

And you should count it as something great that you are doing. <br /><br />But I know the coasting feeling you talked about. I hate it too, and it comes over me when I think about the days when I worked in libraries; the books, the children eager (and not too eager) to read around me; storytimes etc.<br /><br />Sorry I wished there was more I could say to help!<br /><br />You're in my thoughts<br /><br />Your sister in Islam<br />saarasaarahttp://muslimkidsbooks.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2795972256750121659.post-12363734942313827272010-07-15T19:48:13.855-04:002010-07-15T19:48:13.855-04:00Hi Coffee Catholic!

Being a farmer's wife must be very satisfying knowing that you are providing for others. My grandparents raised sheep but not in my lifetime so I never got to see it but my mom talks about it. My ancestors are Scottish too. Maybe you could put your 3 kids in a triple stroller and give people tours of your farm. I bet they would love to learn about sheap shearing etc.Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08016249614421972151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2795972256750121659.post-91245928555608787882010-07-15T19:32:45.720-04:002010-07-15T19:32:45.720-04:00I know how you feel.

Although I do milk a cow... so I can escape to the barn now and then. But other then that I feel totally chained to this house.Michelle Theresehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16185810008704682978noreply@blogger.com
