Not to mention the house is a mess and I could care less about cleaning it. Then I found an old riding buddy on facebook and after looking at her page I just feel shitty. It is silly, I know, but sometimes it is reality that I have a temporary pity party. She appears to have the perfect life, she is gorgeous, had a career in show jumping training, until she recently got married and then moved to Australia. I am sooo happy for her and she is such a genuinely sweet person and I would expect nothing less in her life. And she deserves it. But it did make me feel like my life of overwhelming responsibility at times seem to be not as glamorous. Ok done with that. I know it is not reality and I do love my life and that it probably has way more to do with this unrelenting rain putting me in a crappy mood.
In other less self loathing news. Elaina and Macy are both riding in their very first pony club games clinic this Saturday! I am super excited and so are they. I found this laying around the other day. It was written by my 8 year old and I thought it was so cute and proof of how special this is to her.
Art work courtesy of my 6 year old Macy. I find pictures like this littered all around my entire house at all times. Very much contributing that mess that I spoke of.
Then Sunday the Dangerous Duo(me and Karen) meet up again to audit the Peter Atkin's cross country clinic! Go Henny Go!
Hey...I say you have the perfect life if you get to audit a Peter Atkin's clinic!!! I am with you on the rain - I get upset because I have to ride in the indoor arena (of which I SHOULD be thanking my lucky stars I have available). Have fun this weekend and so sweet words from your little one :)
ReplyDeleteHey Kelly we are meeting up in Indy Sunday morning and driving down to Springville, IN. You and Lex can always joing us!!! It only costs $20 and that includes lunch.
ReplyDeleteThis is much better news than I was expecting. I thought you'd say the rain leaked into your trailer and destroyed your saddle or something awful. Boards aren't cheap, but they are readily available, thankfully. Glad you and yours are well. :-)
ReplyDeleteSB you are VERY right it could be WAY worse. I guess it is time to get over myself.
ReplyDeleteyeah there is still crap in my truck, too. And lets not talk about the state of horror my trailer dressing room is in. all this cold rain has made me want to do nothing but curl up in my bed and watch episodes of Greys. So I feel ya sister. Horse show hangover.
ReplyDeleteIf my husband wasn't having surgery tomorrow I'd meet ya in Indy and go to the clinic too!
ReplyDeleteHey.. frustrated with your boys.. look at those ribbons and medals you won! Well, ok - still frustrated but smiling!

Horse show hangover is right!
ReplyDeleteJeni: that would be awesome. Surely your husband can drive himself home after surgery, right? ;) You know I am not so much frustrated with them but the whole situation. I hate to see them out there cold and wet. I cannot get the stalls fixed for a couple days and I don't know how to remedy the problem because I can't go replacing boards everyday when they can chew through 3 a day. I am not mad at them. They are the sweetest guys I could ever ask for and they prove it over and over. I guess that is why it bugs me so much to look out the window and see them out in the rainy cold weather, poor guys.
bad bad horseys. I find a few of those pictures around my house, too:)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness those pictures and letter are so cute!!
ReplyDeleteThat sucks about the barn, but better the barn than the horses lol. I get so sick of going outside wondering what injury I'll find next haha. I can't wait for Chrome to mature out of this, well I hope he does hehehe. I hope it isn't too expensive to fix. :)
