Why???

Why does it seem like I'm destined to struggle? Isn't being a single mom of 3 enough of a struggle? 

I know some of my choices have sucked. But damn, I'm not on welfare, not a drunk, never done drugs. Work a 40+hour week, only get paid for 40, no health insurance. Still can't get ahead. One step forward a gazillion steps backward.

What have I done so horribly wrong that it seems I'm eternally punished for. 

Winding down

We are in the homestretch of this school year.  Sports for the highschool are winding down, and conditioning for next year has already started. 
With both of my kids involved in highschool sports this year, I have learned a lot of things, good and bad.  I have learned that both of my younger kiddos have a strong desire to be the best they can be in their respective sports.  I have learned that you don't have to always win to have fun and learn something.  I have learned a lot about sports that I have never played, or never played well.  I have learned I love watching my kids play even more than I ever have.
I have also learned that teammates and parents of teammates can be real jerks. 
Jealousy is huge, they really need to get over that shit!
With that being said, bring on barrel racing season, and travel ball season! 
We are takin' our show on the road.

Long time, no see

Wow I haven't blogged since September of last year. Wtf have I been doing?? 

Mostly the usual, working my ass off, running kids everywhere, sports, school functions, sports, to the barn, sports...are you seeing a pattern here?  The joys of being a parent are abundant over here. 

It's spring round here and you know what that means, new babies!! Yeah like I need something else to take care of.  But we gotta have peeps, and eggs some 20 weeks from now!  

Oh yeah and these girls got a rockin new pad!!!

Changes are a comin'

There are some big changes coming for my lil family unit...
Big professional and personal ones.
I am happy!

When your family sucks

I happen to work for family.  I have done so since I was 16 years old.  That is a looonggg time.  I know what I am doing, I know how to do my job...isn't that why I am in the position I'm in?  Why now at this point almost 30 years later do these family members decide they need to micro manage me?  Are you fucking kidding me? I make you a lot of money. I do my job well, isn't that why you've kept me around so long?  And now you want to be involved and try to run my shit? Really????
Rant over....carry on!

Country Life

I am a country girl, I have country kids, I'm dating a country boy, and he has country kids...see a pattern here?  We just returned from one of the best weekends I've had in many many years!  We spent the weekend at his camp, in the woods, in the middle of nowhere!  It was heaven on earth.  We took the atv's and we played in the woods, and the mud the entire time.  Nothing makes this girl happier than being in the woods and playing in the mud.  Well, getting my toes done upon our return is right up there (for me, maybe not the person digging the mud outta my toenails). 
Ya, know I just did a trip to Az, Utah, and Nv...saw some beautiful sights, but it did not compare to this short lil weekend. 
Gimme the woods, the atv, and awesome company any day of the week!
I am loving life, especially our country life!

One of those 2 weeks....

Ever had one of those days? Well, I've had one of those for 2 dang weeks.  Lordy, I need a vacation, oh wait, I just had one of those, and that's what started all this shit!
I'm so thankful that this is a holiday week.  We are closed Friday, Saturday, and Sunday ( we are always closed on Sunday), and I'm thinking about heading out of town with a great family we are friends with.  If I choose to stay home, it will be a long weekend filled with getting our pool up and running, I got a pump yesterday from another awesome friend!  And, repainting my daughters room, while at baseball a few weeks ago, my latest regret and she picked out a bright ass color of turquoise for her room, and halfway finished it...yeah, thanks...So I need to prime it, and repaint it a nice normal neutral color!! 
So, what to do, what to do, paint and work my muscles and stretch in places I didn't know I had, then chill in the pool...or say to hell with it, and go with friends to the beach on the west coast of Fl?? Decisions, decisions...
