Egads...American Idol, Writing, and the immediate need for sleep

Quite a bit of a title eh? Well, I'm all for those crazy blog titles. Makes it more interesting than saying I live the most boring life known to man.

I've included a picture of Thunder. The newest addition to our crazy 'animal farm' that we seem to have going on. What possessed me I don't know. Oh, wait. It didn't possess me it possessed those other two people that I live with, my daughter and my husband. The only thing I can't figure out is why I'm the one shoveling horse poop.

Do you know how much horses poop? Like on a daily basis?

Holy smokes, batman. I could literally compost about ten gardens with this horses poop. Maybe I could sell it as fertilizer? Nah, I bet they have to do something to it to make it fertilizer. Hmmm...I bet my Uncle would know as he is the farmer in the family.

Today I reached a major milestone. I actually stood behind the horse and brushed its tail. (He knew I was back there of course) But see, I don't get normal animals. It just doesn't happen to me. You know where this is headed right? Well, I walked into the barn with my daughter this afternoon and what is MY horse doing? Ha. I only wished I'd had a camera because he was using his feed bucket to scratch his rear end. And a might big rear end it is if I may say so. I, of course, realize that no one will believe me, but next time I go to the barn I'm gonna take the camera to see if I can catch his happy tail in the act. (Happy tail, get it?) Okay, maybe I'm just slap happy. LOL.

I'm off to go write my pages!
Hugs to all!
