It's been a busy day

Today was one of those constant phone ringing days. That's what we like but honestly do both lines need to ring at once?? And of course there's always a tank or truck on the scales to be weighed. This is the busiest season for us. We were anticipating rain but so far it's still dry so the farmers are lining up to get fertilizer. The cost is outrageous this year. Seems like it has been bumped up even more than usual. It is so hard on the farmers to make any money on their crops. I know some people think they are making money. Trust me.....we are in the farming business and they/we aren't the ones making the money. It's the chemical companies who profit. We can sell a generic weed chemical for half the price of a popular chemical company. So you know they can sell it for a much lower cost also. Kind of like the generic products in the grocery store. The name brands are always too expensive for me. Ok now I'm rambling cause I'm tired and it's been a busy day!
I have the two oldest boys here spending the night. Cole was upset because he didn't get to stay but he has a very early Dr. appointment and the I need to get the other two to school in the morning. They are supposed to be sleeping now but I'm letting them watch TV for awhile longer. Good Grandma huh? Hope they aren't grouchy tomorrow. LOL Of course I gave them their favorite ice cream a little while ago. They always want Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ice cream. Darrin has already requested it for breakfast. Well, I'll see about that in the morning. Darn it's fun to spoil them.
Hope we have another busy day tomorrow. Hunter sits in the front office watching out the window and yells "Mam Maw here come nother cutomer!" Poor pawpaw didn't even get time for lunch today. That reminds me.....I need to thaw something out to cook for lunch tomorrow. Guess I better shut off the TV and send the kids to bed.

I want you to be my grandma :)
I never got to eat ice cream for breakfast! I agree farming is a tough living. Some of our family back home farms and some years it is scary for them.
