Games with horses

There's Armadillo kickball-no score is actually kept. The game is pretty simple-horses chase the armadilloes that either run or ball up. Horses love to kick balls of any kind.
Then there's plain ole chase with the neighborhood dogs. The dogs think that every horse will run from their vicious bark-imagine the dog's surprise when Daisy and Sassy (two horses) started chasing them. There was a little tail pulling going on.
Then there's the mulberry game. You feed the horse ripe mulberries and then slip a red one in.So far, Daisy has the best curled lip (Elvis would be jealous).
You know that song-Whiskey for my men and Beer for my Horses? Horses really do like beer. Cheers.

Any day now

Any day now, I'll wake up and the most important thing for me to worry about is whether or not someone can see the tan lines from my swimsuit. I won't have a car payment and I'll drive a POS(but what good things will happen in that POS). I won't have kids old enough to be out on their own. I won't have lost anyone dear to me or have had my heart broken.
This would be the ultimate nightmare-to be young and have. to do it all over again. I'm in a good place now, I know nothing's ever really perfect-but there's very little I would change. I love my kids and they know it. I'm very proud of what they're doing and I might have gained a few more along the way.There's a very special man in my life that continues to delight and amaze me. I really think I've quit dreaming and started to live my dreams-I wish I had done this a little sooner.

Turtle Day Coming Soon

Any day now, you might be driving down the road and notice that the small rocks in the road are moving. They have legs and they aren't rocks at all. They're baby turtles that hatch in the spring. I don't know how they do it-but they all seem to hatch at once...snapping turtles, sliders, and box turtles. Maybe it's related to the phase of the moon or the temperature, but it's coming soon.Very soon.So watch out because that lady in the white Yaris-she's going to brake and help the babies to the other side of the road.What can I say? Turtles are just as cute as puppies and they make less noise.

Just singing this song today and thought I would share.Enjoy.

Mother's Day

Hope yours was as great as mine.
Mine started out with the following card:

Because of your Courage,
I do not fear what the future holds.
Because of your strength,
I can overcome any obstacle.
Because of your knowledge,
I know what is right and what is wrong.
Because of your love,
I know I will never be alone.
Because you are my mother,
Who gave me all hope and faith
I'll love you forever....
and on the back it read made especially for you by Lauren Schuller.

Then Beth took me out to lunch-the lunch and goodies were great-but spending time together and getting caught up laughing like girls do was good for my soul.
My son and his new girlfriend met me with a huge bouquet of sunflowers-funny since I had been debating on whether to plant them or not.Now I will plant them and think of him each time I see one.

All Walmarts

All Walmarts are not created equal. In Russelville and Conway, you can print out your pictures from your camera in minutes. In North Little Rock, you have to wait days until they come back. In Sheridan, you can get them right away if you want 8x10-but apparently they can't get any other size of paper. I can't even find the photo stations in Bryant. With all this running around-you're probably wondering why I just don't give up and go to Target. I have and they lost all of my pictures not once but twice. Walgreens takes forever to get waited on-you have to pay for them and pick them up after you use their machine and no one there knows exactly how to use the machine-it's a learn as you go system.
This inequality isn't limited to just pictures. At Chenal Walmart, you can get any kind of bagel made on earth. In Sheridan, they don't know what bagels are. Go to Sheridan Walmart, and you'll find all kinds of gear supporting the High School. Yellow jacket flip flops, yellow jacket hoodies, yellow jacket t shirts...I bet they even have yellow jacket underwear. Never mind, I know they have yellow jacket boxers because I remember that was carrying school spirit a little too far. Same way in Harrison-they have Gobblin hoodies and t shirts (sorry no boxers-maybe they thought it was a little too much too).Try to find the Bauxite stuff-not in Bryant, not in Benton, not in Southwest. I guess the Miners don't deserve enough the respect given to Yellow Jackets and Gobblins.
Don't even get me started on flowers.In North Little Rock, they had the most beautiful flowers in bunches for such reasonable prices. Sheridan's pitiful few wouldn't even serve as good mulch. Southwest has lots of flowers but theirs are all outlined in black.
Guess I'm done now. Let's hope I don't have to shop for anything tomorrow.

The final count down

Nine more days of school for the baby. Nine more days. I've had kids in school for the last fifteen years. Never again will I have to sit through another parent teacher conference. I kinda miss the school parties-kids coming home hopped up on sugar. I won't miss the phone calls from the school or worrying if she slept through class. I won't worry about days missed or GPA's. Nine more days, Just nine more.

Monster Jam

Went to the Monster Truck Jam in Springfield, MO. It was a lot of fun-full of action-trucks running over cars and flipping.
