My So-Called Boring Life

I took these pics on Wednesday but didn't have time to post last night! I have been quite bored this week with no kids and no job but I still have not found time to sit at a computer. It has been really hot down here this week. I think it has only been in the upper 80s but the humidity makes me feel like I'm wearing a wet blanket. I don't ever remember an August being this bad but apparently it's always this hot. I know I always say it's hotter up in Virginia but I think I just meant during June and July. Anyway, you guys know how I sweat so much? It was so hot yesterday that I had to change my clothes FIVE times!!!!! I wore a whole load of laundry yesterday! Today was a little better, I am only on my third outfit. That's just plain crazy. Tomorrow I am working (thank goodness!) and I seriously had to look for a pair of pants that won't show my butt sweating! I think I found a good pair, stayed tuned for the much anticipated butt sweating results!

My Wednesday started out by taking pics of the dogs wrestling. I know how entertaining those pics can be for you guys...Jazz and Fin really get into it.


My two boyz. Bo avoiding eye contact with the camera as usual.


Katie and I went for a walk later that morning. Then we ran errands. Then I took Em to horseback. This was her first class since May. I think I was on my third outfit by the time we got to class. It was quite disgusting at the stables. The biting flies and ants crawling up my legs were nothing compared to the smell of urine that encased my body the entire time I was watching Em ride. I guess the flooded waters had washed all the horse urine to this one spot along the stables, between the stalls and the arena. So when I left class I felt like I was wearing a wet urine blanket...and I needed to change again. Paige came with us, dressed as a cowgirl. She really wants to take classes but I told her she had to be 6 years old and be able to talk. She can't/won't talk out loud to the teacher.


Em uses a crop to get that horse moving. It looks like she is trying to use it on her sister!


Paige and Lucy cuddle. After horseback we had to race home to jump in grandma's pool. We swam around with the dogs for awhile then headed home.




Em gets her horse to cantor. Usually the lazy horses only go a few yards then walk on and off. Cody kept going twice around the arena without stopping so Em got a good workout.
