A Day Full

 Each day is filled to the max. This morning Mark was planting right behind the house. Jayden started her morning riding with dad a few rounds. We did school, then Jake went to art class and Jayden helped Karen clean. Then the kids helped Karen and Orrie move cows. I shake my head when I see Karen and Orrie doing all the cow work for the Anderlik’s. They do the chores, hay them, check the cows 3 times a day during calving and move them as needed. Mark gets in on a lot of the chores and calving too. He rescued a couple calves this spring.  It just doesn’t seem right. The Anderliks spend a lot of time at cattle shows and lots of cattle sales, but rarely ever have time to take care of what they have. Jake and Jayden helped move the cows with the gator. 

Then Jake picked up rocks and eventually Luke joined after school and rode with Dad. Mark planted in his new field and went until late. Jayden and I went to horse serpentine practice the rest of the evening. Got home at 8:30, unloaded and fed horses, unhooked horse trailer, everyone got a shower, then crashed into bed. I hear myself saying this quote often, “This is how we roll….” Lately we have been pulling out of the drive way rushing here or there running about 10 minutes behind. Some nights we have had to grab our plates off the table and eat in the car. I hate the feeling of being late and having to hurry. I am the kind that likes to be 5 minutes early or right on time. Lately that has not been the case.  “This is how we roll.”
