Excuses…Excuses….Excuses
As most of you know, I run a family business along with my two older brothers, and my mom. My sweet daddy left us this legacy, which he started in 1959.
I try to get to work by 7:00 a.m., but folks, that proves to be difficult at times.
Here are some of the excuses I provide to my brothers…
1. I live in the country. Translation…I am easily distracted.
2. On snowy days, I use this….
If they don’t start plowing my road until 5:00 a.m., then that surely buys me a little extra time. Right?
3. I am also in cahoots with the State Highway Crew, who are in charge of opening and closing this
gate.
Everytime it snows, they stop in our business and tell the guys I should get on home before they shut the gate. My guys just ignore them, ’cause they think I pay the Crew to say that. Well, I would never…..
4. Then there are these….
6. And if I don’t get hung up here, there’s always here…
7. One other little thing. As I got myself loaded up this morning, started up the SUV, turned on my seat
warmer, I noticed this….

I love your distractions. I think it's your DUTY to make sure all calves are alive and well before going to work. And snow plows? Who can control their schedule?

Cute post! Love the picture of the cows (and new calf!). I don't have to deal with any of that to get to our shop…..but somehow I'm still late!

Love your excuses! I don't get to use the snow plow one though, I have a two lane road with lots of slow moving vehicles and school traffic.
