Is there anything as comfy, cozy and wonderful to a dairy farmer as the sounds and smells of a contented herd of cows lying in a bed of straw in a nice warm barn on a frigid winter night? We had a couple of cold nights last week and it reminded me of this. When we were growing up on the farm in Wisconsin there were some pretty cold nights. On those winter nights when we knew it was going to be down in the single digits or colder, we would throw down a few extra bales of straw from the haymow and stack them up inside the barn against the outside doors to keep the cold out.

In the morning those straw bales stacked around the doors would have a nice layer of frost on them, but the worst of the cold air had stayed outside. With ninety-six cows all throwing off a great deal of body heat, the barn stayed nice and warm even though the wind blew, and the temps dropped lower and lower throughout the night.

In the morning when we stepped inside the barn, we were greeted with the sounds of contented animals chewing their cuds with steam exiting their nostrils as they breathed in rhythm with each other. Sometimes nearly every cow would be lying down in their stanchions which was quite an

Confessions of a super seasoned parent

When it comes to parenting, I’ve been around the block a time or two. Heck, I’ve practically worn out the course.

My husband and I have even transitioned to the next generation of parenting, which is so great it can be described as “grand.”

Our daughter and son-in-law are parents themselves and are embracing parenthood as only first-timers can. We’ve all been there. The dichotomy between parenting a first child and second-born is substantial. With children further down the line, the phenomenon is exponentiated.

was six and had just started playing soccer. I was unfamiliar with the game and when helping her get dressed I put her shin guards on over her socks. It’s supposed to be the other way around. Imagine my horror – first when I discovered my error, and later when a photo of her wrongway socks made the front page in the sports section of the local newspaper, clearly illustrating my parenting prowess in the soccer shin guard department. I was devastated.

An error in shin guards would no longer faze me. I’ve embarrassed myself in much bigger ways over the years. A gaffe in sporting equipment is the least of my worries – even if it does make the front page of the newspaper.

During my parenting tenure, I’ve learned a lot about a lot of things. I can outfit a 6-year-old in protective hockey gear, competently launder football pads, and multi-task third grade reading practice and sixth

businesses.

The first expo was held in the main gymnasium of Hononegah High School. Approximately 45 booths displayed their business while the metal gym was used for non-profit organizations and food vendors. In 1996, the RORO Expo was adopted by the Roscoe Area and Rockton Chambers of Commerce with a new look and feel.

These two Chamber neighbors worked together for one purpose, to showcase our community. In 2002, the RORO Expo was able to enlarge to over 150 vendors under one roof. This event was able to increase due to the newly constructed Hononegah Athletic Dome.

It was at this time that all food vendors, area businesses and non-profit organizations could combine in one location along with entertainment, demonstrations and the new Kid Zone. Over the years more vendors joined in the event. After the dome collapsed the RORO Expo was held at World Cup and at Roscoe Middle School.

This year the Expo has been renamed again to the Stateline Business Expo. By holding the event in the new field house the Stateline Chamber remains true to its roots with a continued focus on regional growth and community partnerships. Vendors can expect increased booth sizes without any increase in cost.

The public will benefit from a space that is large enough to host a better entertainment area, and that creates an easier traffic flow. More information on the event schedule and details can be found on the Stateline Chamber of Commerce website at statelinechamber.com or on Facebook on the 2020 Stateline Business Expo!

Keeping up with the expo’s tradition there is no charge to the public to attend.

(Continued from page 4)

grade math homework. Soccer pads? They’re a cinch.

But mostly I’ve learned how not to be a perfect parent.

I used to think I could do it all. I used to try to do it all. And then I grew up alongside my older kids and I realized doing it all doesn’t make you the perfect parent. Sometimes relaxing does.

Sometimes not sweating the small stuff (99 percent of it is small stuff) benefits everyone.

I’ve learned not to compare myself to all the other perfect parents. And there are so many out there, aren’t there? I’ve learned not to set myself up as a perfect parent. I’ve learned perfection is constricting. I’ve learned to be honest – mostly with myself, because that brings a peace that perfection and competition can’t touch.

Here’s one honesty: Every Friday I get a notification from the school telling me I can take a peek at which assignments my kid is missing. I hardly ever click on the link. I’m seasoned and tired. I don’t want to spend the weekend harping on him to get

things done. It’s his job, not mine.

Making it mine is a disservice to both him and me.

If my kid falls behind or is struggling I contact the teacher – usually through email because I believe that is what is most convenient for already-too-busy teachers. But I no longer hover over his work thinking that

hovering makes me a better parent, or makes me look better as a parent. Pretending is just too much work. It isn’t worth it.

I am a seasoned and imperfect parent. I’ve never been a perfect parent, although for years I tried to wear that mask. But masks can be exhausting and suffocating.

When kids are young, they need
