Horseshow Season is here

Well Horseshow season is here and the Tater bug is ready oh excuse me that is READY.  I promise that child goes to sleep and wakes up breathing ponies and horses and the next time she gets to ride in the big mud (arena) I guess it looks like mud to her because the dirt is turned up.  Here are some pics from this past Friday that is her aunt Michele that leads here in... Well off to get something done around this house... oh and TP wanna be is out of school for the summer and we survived our 1st year of middle school YAY!!!!!!

Snakes!!!!!

Snakes.... I know I'm not suppose to hate anything but.....Snakes... sorry, I just can't find a way to tolerate them let alone like them... and when you find one in your water trough at the barn trust me it will send you reeling backwards!!!! Thankfully my barn neighbor was able to save the day, he said it was a good snake well in this girls eyes no snakes are a good....and he turned that joker lose in my pasture.... so upon leaving the barn this evening I was tip toeing through the pasture doing my snake walk.... I so need to start carrying my camera everywhere I go  so I can start showing you guys all the crazy things I run into!!

What had happen was

Well you see what had happen was...... I'm always scared when my son starts a conversation with that.... I mean a fear like the ground is going to open up and just swallow him... I just never know what to expect when he utters those words. But I sure as heck don't know what his father was thinking letting him wear his brand new hoodie to a paint ball park of all places!!!!

Spring has Sprung

Spring has Sprung in our neck of the woods!!! time to get outside, but 1st things 1st... Spring cleaning of the house :( So I guess I better get busy... Have been horse shopping everything I have seen online that interest me is really to far away for a day trip...nothing close to me in my price range... oh the joys of shopping on the budget.... but it can be done... so on the list of things to do today... spring clean the house this weekend.... so we can be outside once again enjoying the sunshine!!!! hopefully with a new horse pretty soon :)

Horse Shopping

Yep, you heard me I'm horse shopping.... not by choice but by necessity.... for my sanity....
A Girl gotta do what a girl gotta do... Its time for me to get back to my hobby especially for my family's safety, not really but as long as they think that, its gonna work to my favor, trust me on this one...
I was hoping to bring the old lady back to barrel racing, but in retrospect I think its better for her if I just continue to let her live the life of Riley, and enjoy my trail rides and time with her, I can't believe she is 20 next month and can't believe that it has been 4yrs ( next month) since I have ran barrels...
Well off to hunt a new pony, but its gonna have to be on a budget, I so don't like shopping....especially on a budget...

Merry Christmas

Just wanted to wish every one a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year,

Been thinking about some goals for the new year, I'm such a goal person,
almost to being obsessive about it LOL. anyways you guys have a wonderful holiday with family and friends and I can't wait to see what Santa brings me !!! I'm really needing a new headstall and breast collar for the horse :)

You Remember??

Well you remember, how I was looking forward to going back to work after the long weekend??? Right??? Well, when I went to lunch I checked my cell phone and I had a missed call and it was the school... I'm like great the dude is sick... so I'm in panic mode...call the school tell them who's mom I was.... thats the funny thing when you have kids you know longer go by your own name you go by " I'm dude's mom or I'm taterbug's mom". I knew I was in trouble when receptionist said just a minute Ms. asst principal wants to talk you regarding the "dude" yes my hands were sweating.... talk to Ms. Asst. principal seems like the dude, who is known for his warped sensed of humor pulled a prank at school..... and she felt that he needed to severe consquences to reinforce his behavior.... so he is at home for 3 days, yes thats right 3 days... we won't talk about what kind of prank he pulled for the fear that it will get me all riled up again and I will have to add more hours to already scheduled work load, and maybe take away the books that he allowed to read... or for the fear that I might start laughing... because it was pretty darn funny.... yes, I have warped sense of humor too.... sorry. but the poor little fella owes his mom and dad 72 hours of labor... in order to buy all of his stuff from his room back.... He thinks he is going to make me crazy and I will give his stuff back no way!!!! I'm standing strong...
see even he is giving me the thumbs up on the standing strong part
