I'm Pooped...

I am so exhausted from the horse show last weekend. It was absolutely crazy. We had 14 horses for a 3 day show and numerous back to back classes. I do not know how we got it done, but we did. We had a really good show, numerous 1sts and Championships, with a little bit of everything else. And the weather actually cooperated for once! It was really cold for a couple of days but the sun did make an appearance for a day and a half. That felt really good. I even got to chat with Mikael from Mikael's Mania Arabians a few times. It was great getting to talk to her and seeing her beautiful stallion, Legs. I am just glad that the show is over with, because this show did me in!

My silly Aussie's were very happy to see me again. My OH told me that Bailey checked my side of the bed every morning while I was gone to see if I magically appeared. I didn't. I am sure he was awfully depressed when he woke up to not find me in bed. Apparently this morning when Bailey did his 4:00 a.m. bed check (Bailey does these bed checks every morning, but only with me), he got pretty aggressive with waking me up. My OH told me he took his whole head and put it under my arm and flung it up in the air, 3 times! My OH told me that I woke up and said "Bailey quit!" and then reached over and petted him. I don't remember waking up, nor do I remember saying anything..... I told my OH that must have happened last week, because I always remember when Bailey wakes me up. My OH said that it was this morning and I did wake up. Hmmmm..... I have now resorted to talking in my sleep. Interesting.

My farrier was scheduled to come out today, but I called and rescheduled my appointment. Besides being extremely exhausted, I woke up with a pounding headache and the weather was not cooperating. It was pouring like crazy and cold. The last thing I wanted to do was be outside in the rain with my head pounding. My farrier is very understanding and knows what I do for a living. I felt so bad because I couldn't get a hold of him until about 45 minutes before our appointment. I told him why I needed to reschedule and I said it probably wasn't a very good excuse, but I just did not want to be out in the rain. He understood and we rescheduled in 2 weeks. That just means that if the sun ever comes out on a Sunday, that we won't be able to go on a trail ride. Fritzy was going to be getting her shoes put back on, and she won't be able to be ridden on the trails until then.

I only get the one day off and back to work on Tuesday. I doubt I will have recovered by then, it will probably take me the rest of the week for that to happen. I am hoping for some decent weather, looks like some rain all week and only one day without it. I guess that will be the day I will have to go out and groom my own horses.

There is another horse show in a couple weeks, but I am not going to that one. I have a wedding to go to, so I will be at home taking care of the farm horses. I am looking forward to that. I like it when I get to stay home, it gives my back a break, although it has been feeling better lately.

Well, this girl is pooped so I must leave it at that. My bed is calling my name......
