Quick Update

Just thought I would write a minute. I have been very busy lately and just haven't slowed down enough to update. I had a great weekend, horse show on Saturday. (imagine that) Last week my little cousin Xylie and Becca came for a visit. We had a great time. The kids really enjoyed playing with the baby animals. Perhaps my Aunt Suz will send me some pics to share. My camera drown in an unfortunate incident. I will get another soon as I decide what I want. I am getting ready to have summer horse camps as well as prepare for the state 4-H horse show. I really love this time of year, always something fun and exciting to do outdoors. Brian's band has a lot of upcoming events to play at. (keeps him busy and happy) Hope everyone is enjoying the spring time before the heat gets here!

Monday Blues

This past weekend was another busy weekend filled with work and many new accomplishments for my students. We went to Pavo for a Thomas County 4-H horse show. My students really did exceptional as well as my horses. Today I find myself trying to get some spring cleaning accomplished. I have completely wasted an entire day killing time and doing every thing except clean house. This afternoon is a busy afternoon I have 3 clients coming and tomorrow no extra time. I don't know why I could not get anything accomplished today. Oh well there is always going to be days like this. As long as I can scurry (yeah I think that is a word) around and get enough work done so Brian doesn't realize I have been prisoner of the couch and the computer. No need to hear him brag aboiut all he did today!! Hope everyone else has had a more productive day!

Tired and Overwhelmed!

Okay haven't written in a while because I have been very busy. I was at several horse events the past two weekends as well as this week I have 15 kids at my yearly spring break horse camp. Spring is definitely my favorite time of the year but also my busiest. I have eight kids in my advanced group this week and 7 beginners. My sweet little beginners(ages 5-11) just want to be on a horse and want Ms. Amanda to be proud of them. Oh but the noise from my advanced group ages (11-14) and the teenage gossip is enough to drive anyone insane. I told them today if they knew so much then perhaps they should teach the class. After a break and some releif from my workers I regained their attention and actually got some work done. I know for a fact the younger kids learned more today because unlike the pre teens they realize there is always more learn. I really am blessed to do something I love, but they really wore me out today. Hope everyone has a great week and pray that I find patience to set a positive example for the wonderful little personalities.
