The 'tail' in the Funny Farm

I am back to being a teacher-librarian after a few years of teaching 6th grade and HS Reading. But the most important thing in my life is my family and the life we share on our 2nd generation dairy farm. Together with my husband we try to navigate raising three (sometimes loud, goofy, and giggly) girls and now 8 years after the last baby - a boy!

I was introduced to the world of blogging when I was first a teacher-librarian, but never really took the time to start one. I have since visited so many blogs and seen such great things I felt like I should start one of my own.

I also am still learning to put my life back together after a severe case of postpartum depression. I was sort of ashamed to talk about it for awhile because it didn't make sense in my head so how could I explain it to anyone else. Doing what any good librarian would do, I started doing some research and I came across some great websites and blogs of other women who have lived to tell about their experience with postpartum depression. I was amazed to see I was not alone and I wanted to share my story too. I also found it very helpful to write about how I was feeling, so I think this will be some good therapy too.

We live on my husband's families dairy farm with our three daughters and a son. My husband keeps very busy milking about 80 Holstein cows, bottle feeding about 25 calves, and raising and feeding 100 or so more heifers and steers. When I was thinking of a name for this blog, funny farm just seemed to fit, because most days that is what it is around here. I added the play on words with tails because thanks to a wonderful teacher I will never forget I love a good pun and these really are the 'tails' of my life.
