On Saturday night, Landen told the crowd at Snow Queen that his parents "drive tractors in fields" all day. The rest of the stay-at-home moms got recognition for helping the younger siblings or cleaning the house, but not me! Except for that afternoon when I helped David in the field for an hour I had not been in the tractor for a very long time. Well, it seems Landen had a feeling that hour on Saturday was going to lead into more hours because I have, in fact, put in several since then!
Teresa and I now make up a mother-daughter team in the 4-wheel drive tractor pulling the aerator in the harvested fields. It really isn't that difficult of a job. I hear a beep as I come to the end, I turn the tractor onto the next round, push the Auto Steer button, and it takes off on its own. Teresa keeps busy eating her snack or cleaning the tractor windows. I can see on my monitor where I have been and how much I have left. It's actually kind of fun, but only because I know I don't have to do it ALL of the time!
