A crazy Saturday

We have a crazy day today, as the title suggests.

But, to tell you the truth, every day on my parents' farm is a bit crazy. I happen to have an extensive family and the farm is the place they all tend to invade on a day like today.

Today happens to be my sister's Name Day and so an additional amount of craziness follows.

It's only noon and already there are 6 teenagers and a toddler running about the house. I dread to think of the upcoming evening.

On top of it all, it is necessary to keep the farm in order, all the cows and chickens and my cats, of course (there are 7!). I must say that since I've moved to Poznan, I appreciate the farm work more, I also find it more difficult and it causes more damage to my 'city body'. I ended up with two huge blisters on my hand yesterday...

The nice thing about the life here is that nobody cares about exams and thesis (though my niece is in the midst of her Matura examinations), to farmers they are completely abstract concepts. As a result I don't care so much about them either and can relax a bit. Of course, I came here hoping to finish my third chapter, and will do it no matter what, but probably somewhere around midnight- the only time when the house becomes peaceful and quiet...

Right now there are three kinds of salads waiting to be prepared, so I have to run and do useful things.

Ps. I would like to thank for the comments that have finally begun to appear here- I really needed them to keep my spirits up- thanx! :)
