kids and horses

So this past weekend i played mom to three kids.  the kids were great and we had a fun time, but let me tell you…that is the most tired i have been in a very long time.  my hat is off to all you moms out there.  honestly, i am not sure how you do it every day all day.  i know that i want kids one day, but i am thinking that day is a little farther into the future than i once thought! 

so for all you who do not know, i live in a house in gibsonville with my roommate courtney smith, two dogs, some fish, and a horse.  well, the horse lives out back in the barn and pastures, and for the most part does his own thing.  this morning i woke up and went my usual route to the kitchen to let the dogs outside when i happened to look out the window and see that our horse, Dakota, was taking himself on a walk of the backyard….not his part of the backyard….our part of the backyard.  the horse, it seems, has figured out how to open the door that leads from his wash stall in the barn out to the front pasture…yeah, it was a special morning….
