Truthful Tuesday

 

So as I was obsessively sweeping my barn aisle one day this weekend, I had a realization. I don't think my desire to keep the barn looking dust, dirt, and cobweb free comes from a need for perfection. I truly think it's due to my actually being such a lazy person inside. 

I realize this is counterintuitive. But, see, I know that if I don't keep up with it, it will be SO MUCH more work when I do get around to it. And that feeling leaves me overwhelmed and not l knowing where to start. (Which is everything you need to know about the state of my own home...) 

And THAT is today's confession: I'm actually really lazy and my house is a mess.

Truthful Tuesday

 

Heh... Today's confession is that I completely forgot it was Tuesday and nearly forgot to write this post! I switched the horses' day off to Tuesday this week because of weather, so I'm all out of sorts. Monday on a Tuesday is weird.

But that's not the only confession today. Shiny has one too. 

Ugh. Shiny here. Mom is making me confess my sins, but honestly, it was her fault. I'll tell you what happened, but I'm NOT taking responsibility. 

So Sunday was a rain day. Which at first seemed like YES! NO WORK TODAY!!! But then, after mom was all done with chores, she took me out. Ugh. Like what is does she want? And then I saw it. The pulling comb. WORST. DAY. EVER. I really despise having my mane pulled. But mom says it's waaaaayyy too thick to not pull it. I say she should mind her business and just let my hair be thick and luxurious. Ya know? Just because mom's hair isn't thick doesn't mean mine can't be. 

So mom says after every three pulls I can have a snack. And I say I should get one every pull. Whatever. I put up with her rule for awhile. But it was like taking forever and SO MANY PULLS, so finally I just stood up on my back legs and pulled and pulled until the crossties broke. I thought mom would be too scared to keep going because I was so dangerous and crazy. But she just laughed at me, told me to stop being ridiculous, and fixed the crossties. AND THEN SHE PULLED SOME MORE! Can you believe it? The horror. And she says it's still not done and we have to do it again another day. So yeah. That's what happened. As you can see, it's not my fault, and I'm not confessing to anything.

Eros here... 

Mom said I had to come on here and admit to a few things. I don't really see what the big deal is... I'm just trying to communicate my needs to her. Maybe she should listen better the first time?

So... first. Mom got new fans for our stalls, and they can turn! It's the most fun toy ever! But mom keeps saying that fans aren't toys. I mean... I don't mess with it when it's ON. I'm not stupid...

Speaking of things that mom thinks aren't toys... Water buckets. I think they are the best toys! They make a big splash when you pull on the handles! Especially when they're full! SO FUN! I taught Al how to pull the safety guards off the sides too. I don't really do that because I'm a mature horse, but it's HILARIOUS that Al takes them all off every single day. That kid is so funny. Anyway, I just like to throw mine around, especially on hot days. That big splash cools me off nicely.

And lastly, the feed tub. Mom feeds us far too infrequently, and I feel it is my duty to remind her when it's time to eat. Often she ignores me. Especially when I try to get her to come out in the middle of the night to feed us... But I gotta at least try, right? So what do I do you ask? Well, I grab the rim of my feed bucket and lift it up as high as I can, then let it drop. It makes a LOUD noise that mom seems to find super annoying. She always tells me to stop it, and "buckets aren't toys!" But like, she's so wrong. Buckets are totally toys. The BEST toys! I have a ball and a carrot toy to play with in my stall, but they are no where near as fun as water buckets and feed tubs. Not even close.

So yeah. Those are my confessions. Oh and one more, MOM IS BORING! Hahahahahahaha!

Today's confession: I have no yet even taken holiday photos, let alone had cards printed or mailed out. Here's what happened... I have the horses outfits all set to go. I have MY outfit mostly set to go. But I realized back on November 8th that P did not have a matching outfit to wear. That's not acceptable. So I ordered her a hoodie that matched mine. But I ordered it from Artscow in China, and it's legit on the slowest path here. It's moving, but I don't think it's boarded a plane yet. Thank goodness I sprung for the airfreight and not for the economy shipping. Perhaps they'll have to be New Years cards this year.... We went classy last year for our cards, but fear not. All class has left the building for this one.  Oh also, if any of you want to be on the card list, shoot me an email or PM/DM on social with your address. At some point before February (hopefully) I'll get them done!

Do you send cards out for the holidays? I love getting them from all my friends and family each year, so it's only fair that I also send some out. Plus, who doesn't want adorable photos of my horses and dog(s) hanging in your house?
