Somedays I think it would be so easy to be a - city girl! A day in my life before noon

TANNER'S MOM wrote: I have been up early, got the kids ready for school, off to school with breakfast and all school papers done. Went to the feed store loaded the back of my car and trunk down with 600 pounds of feed and a 50 lb salt block. Stopped at the hard ware store and got Dh some fencing supplies he needed. I came home unloaded all the feed, even though I tried to talk the guy at the feed store into it but he wasn't falling for it. Then I fed all the horses and put the salt block out. I went and finished mowing a back piece that I couldn't get to yesterday. I racked up all the grass in the yard to feed the horses. Then I went and worked on Dh's electric fence and tied orange ribbon all around it so the horses can see the wire and not run through it. Then I feed all the dogs and cats and have completed 2 loads of laundry and I am fixing to start my house work before I go to town and get the kids from school and come and start our evening feeding, supper, homework and bathtime for everyone.

I think I am beginning to understand why I am so worn out and asleep before my head ever hits the pillow.

Oh I forgot to tell you I got thrown yesterday. I was riding a horse bareback while DH was leading her, to see what she would do. Tanner had just rode her bareback and she was fine. We wanted to put some more weight on her and she didn't like it..lol She bolted and got away from Dh and then turned a corner really fast and kind of bucked up at me and I had no way to hold on. I lost it and come off and I was trying not to reach for the ground, didn't want to break something. I got myself turned around so I could land on my hinny, and I did! Flat on my arse and flat of my back. I tried not to cry infront of my family and they teased me all day long. This morning I am feeling the whole of my 33 years and then some. Getting up and down is pretty painful. I have a date with her and a saddle.. though very soon. lol

Showing my city-girlness here, but just curious, what is the salt block used for?

Mommy2BAK replied: geez Mel! You are a very busy woman!

I hope your soreness goes away

TANNER'S MOM replied:
You use a salt block on your livestock in the Summer especially because it helps them retain water and stay hydrated. We also use mineral block to help them get all their vitamans and nutrients they are lacking from the feed and grass and day. At different times of the year the hay and grass as different nutrients depending on the season.

Don't worry about being a city girl.. alot of people don't know what it's for either.

A&A'smommy replied: WOW what a day!!!!

I'm glad you okay that sounds VERY painful!!!
