Howdy From the Funhouse

It's been a busy, busy week. I am usually a night owl but I am so physically wiped out right now....I'm heading to bed. As anyone in education knows, this is a hectic time of year. Spring concerts, graduation, report cards, field day.......as many people are, I am in desperate need of the 3-day weekend. I am not going camping, to Vegas, or to any mixer parties. I am just hanging out, layin' low. I am hoping to get caught up on some things, and spend time with my horse. My goal is to go back to some groundwork with the lariat, which I enthusiastically tackled this winter but have not revisited since.

I have some fun things planned next week.....including a guest blogger post and a giveaway! More on that Monday.

Well, if you're around blog-land this weekend, stop by, say howdy, and let me know what you are up to!

  6. Oh, a three day weekend, if only...! I think I could sleep for 72 hours. Just started the weekend over at Baghera's and will go home, clean, hopefully sleep (!) and then have a long ride with horses and Sheba, before heading back to Baghera again. And some time during the evening, we'll finish watching the AI finale, although we already know the results.

    Have a great weekend!

  9. I start a week of vacation today. It has been almost a year since I have had a full week off.

    I forgot what grade you teach? I am pretty sure it is elementary right?

  11. at least there is a "light at the end of the tunnel" for you.Another few weeks and you will be through it for this year!Ands another group of kids will be moving ahead thanks to your input. I think teachers have truly one of the most important jobs out there!

  12. I'll be layin' low too. Hoping to get my garden finished up and some other yard chores accomplished. I'd like to dedicate Monday to my "dappled pill". Fingers crossed! Hope you have a wonderful weekend with your boy! :)

  13. Working with a lariat!? I hope you get to post some pictures of that! That sounds very exciting and very cowgirlish! Lilly is afraid of the lariat if she hasn't seen it in a while--even though the one I have is pink! A pink lariat never hurt anyone! Happy holiday weekend! I hope you get a lot done, and I can't wait to read about it.

  14. {cdncowgirl & Colleen}~ I am mostly just desensitizing him to the rope right now, so that I can possibly toss it from the saddle at some point! No roping cattle, but we have some fun challenges at our family "rodeo" this summer, I'm just trying to prepare a little and it's good to work on new things.

    {TB}~ Yep, I teach Elementary, Pre-Kindergarten to be exact. The little ones! Great age, but it can be exhausting.

    {Esther}~ What did you think of the American Idol results??
