Who you gonna call !!!!!!!

118 !!!!!
Who do you call about having more hours added to a day...................... 118!!!!! couldn't help. I have been chasing my tail all week and still haven't managed to get everything done I wanted. It all started on Sunday when we took our young horse to her first show of the season. It rained from start to finish, it was very poorly organised, the gallery was full of screaming kids, now I don't mind screaming kids but Aria doesn't like them at all and did everything to make me take her home !!! I should have listened to her !!!! By the time she completed her class she was completely tuned to the moon and acting like a complete "NUT JOB" Outside the riding arena was a quogmyre of mud and we were all soaked to the skin. Hungry and totally fed up we decided to head home so we loaded the horses and just as we were saying our good buys Aria decided to jump over the front bar of the trailer OMG !!!! PANICK BIG TIME !!! We acalled for all the biggest, burliest men to come help, not quick enough for Aria, she then reared up to the point of no return and fell over backwards in the trailer OMG !!!! EVEN BIGGER PANICK !!!! I was by this time trembling like a jelly and my calm and sensible side kicked in. I quickly opened the back trailer ramp and was horrified to see Arias head come out the trailer first, it was originally the opposite way round............she scrambled to her feet and jumped out the trailer in complete amazement !!!! After checking her over I found she had only supperficial scratches, what a lucky baby horse she was. We reloaded her and very quickly headed home, thankfully she ate her dinner and seemed no worse for wear, more than I can say for me, not even the largest G&T stopped me shaking !!!!!! Since then I have been massaging her back, legs and shoulders every four hours after feeding the lambs !!!!! so you can imagine why I desperately want more hours in the day !!!!!!!
TODAY.... Eilidh my daughter has taken a break from studying for her Highers to take over the chores outside to let me catch up with the domestics (YUK, YUK, YUK) So using that wonderfull asset God gave all women (multy tasking) I have managed 4 washes, a pile of ironing, changed beds, cooked meals AND !!!!!! made 2 cards, YEEEEE!



This is my favourite horse stamp and sentiment, I feel it is quite suitable for a males card.


Now I have gone completely over the top with this card, I used the MME paper I bought at the SECC and the butterfly punch from SU. I also used my new sewing machine for the first time and got completely caried away !!!!! Well... I was having fun !!!!
So now I am off to have my dinner and do some more ironing !! I ordered some goodies from Hayley today and hopefully they will arrive tomorrow and if Eilidh is feeling generous I might have another wee play. Nearly forgot to say I DID NOT get ONE easter egg !!

Hope you had a lovely birthday Annette, the cards are gorgeous!
Have you tried to load Aria again since? Me with my "horsey" head on and if it were me I'd want to load the horse again just to make sure she's not upset by it. They terrify us don't they!? She was lucky with only grazes! xx
