Where did I leave off?
Oh yeah we bought a horse! We showed at the Royal and at an ABRA show and we had a blast. I am bonding with my children in a way that I couldn't have imagined. Best 20K I have ever spent!! (J/K.....kinda)
We are now stuck in the middle of winter and I find myself dreaming of warm summer nights at the barn and early crisp show mornings driving to horse shows. Winter in the Midwest sucks! One week ago it was 60 degrees. Tonight we are spending day 3 in the house surrounded by 11 inches of snow.
What do we do to keep busy and not go crazy with cabin fever? I clean. Organize. YouTube. Read.
Yesterday I decided to deep clean Ava's room. I pulled her bed out from the wall and found 19 fruit snacks wrappers, a wrapper from an 8 pack of donuts, a half drank Capri sun and half an apple growing mold. I'm done.
The kids fight.
Dad leaves to have lunch with a friend and texts me 3 hours later to see if I "need anything". Are you kidding me? Yeah, I "need" you to bring me Chinese food, go to the grocery store to pick up food for teacher appreciation tomorrow and oh by the way grab me cigs and wine. (I know, I was supposed to give those up but hey,.......) Seriously? Do I need anything?
