Well I did get the tractor started YAY...and then I got some HAY out so YAY FOR HAY.
So my friend Laura calls and says hey I have the whole weekend planned for you(I love when she does that,lol)Anyways the plans were circus on Saturday..Epcot on Sunday..woohoo sounds like a blast...so excited.
Then my van broke...good grief....and for the record..I can fix a tractor but not a stupid minivan.A million thanks to the random strangers that stopped and helped me push the van..and a million and one thanks to the random stranger that went home to get her husband to see if he could get me running.Its so refreshing to see truely honest to goodness great people..willing to help out while I tried my hardest to cowgirl up but was closer to having a breakdown(you know mental..the van already had a breakdown)on the side of the road.
I hate the feeling of helplessness..I know I'm so much stronger then that.Yet I felt like a complete loser.
Anyways I have to say my Cowboy even being way up in NC made a few calls got John the mechanic to come with a tow truck..The Cowboy's mom Hilda(I love her)came to pick me and Justin up.So now I'm carless...and stuck on the ranch.(not that its the worst place in the world to be)but I really wanted to go to the circus.And you know have a car for grown up stuff like getting to the grocery store and stuff.Boy this really sucks.
Anyways if you happen to see a tractor rolling down the HWY with a carseat on it...Its just me and the boys.
I sure hope the van gets fixed fast and its an easy fix.
Follow me on my wonderful adventure of finding my inner cowgirl.And who knows maybe when this adventure is over I will be able to proudly call myself a cowgirl.

Hostage Standoff Christmas,Florida
Help I'm being held hostage,I am stuck in my house unable to do my cowgirl duties(I'm having coffee watching last nights survivior and enjoying the AC..so you can see just how dire this is..)
So the tractor is broke..crappers I need it.Anyways a call to the cowboy last night and he thinks its a dead battery...cuz DID YOU KNOW THAT TRACTORS HAD HEADLIGHTS?Well I didn't and I think in my using it I may of turned them on and left them on..becouse lets face it I have NO IDEA what I'm doing.So I need to get to the warehouse..thankfully I parked the tractor next to the warehouse(so grateful I did something right!!!)And hook up the battery charger and PRAY it works.
I need to get hay in the field...the cows are looking for the hay.
Ok for those who haven't been to our ranch...we have a pet cow.Yes I know we have lots of cows but one is a true pet.She started out as Ugly Cow(cuz she was ugly)And she slowly turned into Ugly Betty..now everyone(except me)just calls her Betty..Anyways she knows she's a pet and I guess as far as a cow's life goes she's rather pampered.We hand feed her..ok the cowboy hand feeds her I put some cow chow(lol can you belive there is really a thing called cow chow..I don't know why I laugh everytime I read the bag but I do)Ok back to the point..I put her cow chow in a bucket and just let her do her thing.
Everytime she sees me she comes running..and wants to play.Only playing with a cow is not so easy..its not like she can roll over and play dead or fetch a stick.Playing with a cow means she HEAD BUTTS me..and to be honest its hurts.She's a cow for goodness sakes she's BIG.
So that brings us to the hostage standoff....I already fed the animals(aside from the cows..thankful we have grass they can graze)I even gave Ugly Cow a bucket of cow chow.but she won't leave!!!!
She's is just waiting outside...I can't get to the warehouse to fix the tractor..then get the hay...nope she is just outside MOO-ing.So I am forced to watch TV and drink coffee and have a semi"normal"day....
