I'm sick again! UGH!!! Today I sound the worst, but I probably feel the best I have all week. I had a swollen throat which made it hard to swallow, congestion, sneezing, coughing...oh what fun! I think the hardest part is being a Mom when you feel like doo doo...basically, as you Moms know, you suck it up! I'm so grateful that Shelby is a good girl and is easily entertained and pleased. So, we spent a lot of time on the floor. She rolled and I moaned! HA! And, if you are wondering why Ryan didn't participate more it is because he had to go do all the outside chores...and there's plenty to do!
Today my voice is fading quickly and my nose is stuffy, but at least I can swallow again!
Also, I went to sandy's arena last night with Badger and Romeo. Badger was warming up funny but I just thought he was a little stiff. So, I went to trot him around the barrels and he was gimping really bad. I noticed it while riding and Sandy and Ryan saw it from the ground. Needless to say, I got off immediately and he was done for the night. GREAT! So, now he's out!
We planned to take him to Gem's to have him worked on, but she's not available now til next week. We had the heat sensor thing put on him earlier this week and he showed heat in his back (ya, that $300 pad (Right Pad) was worth it...NOT!...needless to say we're sending it back!) and his right hock had a lot of heat on it too. I think he's gimping cause of his hock. I'm not sure what would make it hurt so badly, but that comes with the territory so we need to figure out why. I am winning the 2D in the NBHA and have brought home a pay check everytime I run (if I don't hit a barrel) so I'm bummed it is VERY unlikely I'll be able to go Sunday.
I don't think I'll ever have a horse as tough as Twister, my paint horse. Man, the horse is tough! We worked him 5x harder than we have any of our other horses and he did it all without a lame step! I mean did it all....carried the flag in a drill team, heeled, ran barrels...and all w/in 2 hours!
On a positive note, Romeo did a FABULOUS job last night. I loped him for the first time. THe hardest part was getting him into the lope (he has a tad bit of a lazy streak and he'll test you to see if he can get away with it). NO PROBLEMS...he loped off smooth as silk and added a "Yes Ma'Am" at the end of it! What a thrill! That helped make up for Badger coming up lame. I thought I was being an over achiever by making the goal of running him in the Novice barrels next January, but I think we might get to do it. This boy is smooth, smart and he is real caddy even though he is 16 hands! I just love him and can't wait for school to be out so I can ride him on a regular basis!
I think that's the best part of my job...I love working, but I also love having a break! I really do have the best of all worlds...I work with kids and teachers everyday using technology and I go home at night and play 'cowgirl.' I dont' know if I could ask for anything more.
Finally, some exciting news....Charlene, my step-mom, is a grandma for the 2nd time! (Of course, that's not counting all of our rugrats (my 6 nephews and Shelby). Her daughter, Cynthia, had a healthy baby boy on Saturday. Charlene was able to be in the room with her during delivery. I thought she was brave cause I don't care to ever be near another delivery room unless I have to be due to my own pregnant situation. :) I'm anxiously waiting for pictures (HING HINT Charlene) so I can post them and share with you all!
TGIF!

Rough Weekend
This weekend was…I guess…tough. Saturday we had a GCBRA barrel race. I was tied for 2nd in the Novice and I had points all over in the open, but was starting to get consistent in the 2D. Oh, and I was only 11 points behind the first place Novice horse. I say “I”, but I guess I need to say “Badger”. Anyhow…Saturday would’ve been our chance to get 1 point behind the leader. My only problem was we hit the 2nd barrel….BARELY…I pushed it up, but didn’t push the barrel very hard because I barely touched it coming around. Anyhow, it went down. There went my chances to get into 1st. Ugh…and come to find out I would’ve placed 2nd in the 2D and would’ve won the Novice class that day which would’ve paid close to $200. That would’ve helped our family too. Aaaahhhh…barrel racing…isn’t it fun? It took most of the day, but I did let it go. I will persevere and I will win that saddle.
On a positive note, Badger really did do well. He didn’t feel like he was firing, but he still clocked where he normally does (if not a tad bit faster) so maybe I’m just getting used to him and his speed.
Anyhow, I had to work the barrel race all day announcing. That was a long day! We had taken Shelby to Pam’s, so at least we didn’t have to worry about her. She went to a birthday party with Pam and had a lot of fun. She was so excited to see us…she couldn’t wait to get a hold of me and give me all sorts of sugars. The joys of Motherhood….I almost forgot all about my barrel mishap. J
Saturday night was NOT fun! Shelby must be teething cause she lost it around 11:30 PM. We gave her some belly medicine and then we ended up giving her some children’s Tylenol cause she felt warm. I then ended up putting her in her bouncy seat and rocked her to sleep. I slept on the floor next to her til 2:30 AM when she woke up again. I then moved her to her bed. She cried again but settled down and went to sleep. This repeated throughout the night every couple of hours. Needless to say, Shelby and I didn’t get much sleep. She woke up again at 6 AM and had enough sleep. So she and I got up again and I fed her. She chilled out in her bouncy seat again and watched TV while I slept on the floor. She eventually fell asleep again. I was able to get some sleep.
After that, we got up again for a while. She started fussing again so I finally gave her some more Tylenol. That knocked her out for two hours straight. I got to sleep another hour and then went out to the barn to pull horses up to get ready for the rodeo.
We got ready for the rodeo and headed down to Wharton. The day proved to be not good for Ryan or me. About 1 mile before the arena, we blew a trailer tire. We knew the tires would need to be replaced soon, but thought we had some time. Unfortunately, we didn’t. Luckily, one of Ryan’s new friends, Worth, came to the rescue. He was at the arena already. He drove down with a block to lift the trailer up so we could quickly change the tire.
We got to the arena in time for me to get things ready with Badger. I was warming him up and I just felt blah. I was physically tired from Saturday night with Shelby and was pretty much out of energy. I drank a Dr. Pepper, but it didn’t really even help me. It was also extremely hot (90s) and I had to wear a long sleeve shirt with the sun blazin’ down on me.
Now, those of you up north where it snows….you think you know hot, but you don’t til you come down south. Those of you who live in the south understand what I’m talking about when I say it was hot! Needless to say, I will be buying some short sleeves shirts to have my sponsors monogram so I can wear them for the summer.
So, I made my run and felt good about it going in. About half way through and coming out of the second barrel I realized my energy was gone. Not only that, but Badger was dropping his shoulder. This doesn’t let us get set up right and he leans too much which can cause us to hit the 3rd barrel. Ugh…which is EXACTLY what happened. What is sad is I was so tired my spirit was gone and I didn’t even care. I guess nothing was on the line besides some money…no points, etc. I don’t think the money was very much anyhow.
Anyhow, having screwed up the third barrel I still ran a 16.5. My ‘competition’ (those I run close in times) were very close to my time. I think I could’ve run a 16.3…a 16.0 won the rodeo…so I wouldn’t have won any money anyhow. Besides, had I not hit the barrel I wouldn’t have this beautiful bruise on my leg. Actually, I haven’t even looked at it so who knows what it is. (I looked at my leg after I got home…see below for more details.) I feel some pain, so I must have a mark. Aaah….yet another reason not to wear skirts! HA.
Ryan roped as a heeler on Twister and that didn’t go so well. He missed for the one header that caught. So, it was bad for him too. I didn’t get to watch too much cause Shelby was a bit crabby and tired. I was also talking to a nice girl, Jennifer, that had a two year old little girl. She had the cutest curly, blonde hair. She was very nice. It was nice to meet a nice lady at one of these events. J
Now, I’m sitting in the truck with Ryan heading home and letting it all go. Actually, we’re heading to Sandy’s to pick up a heeler puppy that she is giving to us. Ryan gave his dog to a friend of his. Rena was just not working out in our family. I am glad he’s getting a heeler…and he’s smart too! Rena needed a lot of hands on and we just couldn’t give that to her. I’ve learned dogs are like horses. Not all dogs fit you, just like not all horses fit you. It is better to cut your losses and move on before you are too far into it.
Well, I didn’t plan to write this much, but I guess I can’t help it. I do enjoy my blog.
Off to get ready for another week of work. I’m so ready for summer! I’m so ready to have some time to get everything done. I’m looking forward to getting up early and taking Badger and Romeo to Sandy’s for some early morning riding/schooling. It will be nice to just go myself. Ryan and Shelby will stay behind and do their normal morning routine. Just a few more weeks! I think I can make it!
Ok, I thought I was done sharing our weekend, but boy was I wrong and in for a wonderful surprise. Let me tell you “The rest of the story…”
So, we get the puppy (Ringo) and go home. We get Shelby out of the truck and put her in the stroller, unload the horses, and head down the walkway to the barn to feed and put the horses up. All that went well and so I came in to cool off and cool of Shelby. Long story short (my computer battery is dying), I was feeding her dinner when I kept smelling something. I was trying to figure out if her diaper was dirty or was it the prunes I was feeding her. LOL I guess in a round about way, it was both. J Anyhow, she had a blow out…I mean out of the diaper, onto the bouncy seat, down her leg blow out! We instantly turned into “Operation Baby Clean Up” and together, Ryan and I, stripped her down, cleaned her up a little, and got her into the tub.
Well, we both believe that was her issue last night. We think she was a little backed up and it took a little bit for all the fiber (prunes, green beans, etc) to work through her system. Poor baby…Anyhow, after all that she was her old self and was happy and smiling again.
Oh, and here’s a pic of my leg. When I came in I changed and discovered this….it was a deep puncture and it was kinda nasty. Aren’t you glad I shared??? (I was unable to upload pics today. I'll add them tomorrow. I also have a video of Shelby I'll upload later as well.)

Is it Friday Yet?
The headaches are gone and life is back to normal....BUSY!!
Did I tell you how Ryan sat at the mechanics from 9 am til about 6 pm to get his truck's A/C fixed only to find out something else was wrong with it?!?! STUPID DODGE is all I can say. I swear I'll never let another be put in our name again! Anyhow, fortuantely it's all related and so the insurance is going to pay for that too. PHEW! Hopefully the part will arrive soon and he'll be able to get it fixed.
Also, a friend of ours loaned us his generator so we have a generator for our trailer this weekend. We will probably buy it from him since it is met to be used for trailers only. Ryan hooked it up and it worked perfectly, so YEA!
Ya know, God is so good! That is two problems solved without us doing anything or spending any money. So, the list is getting shorter. PHEW...
I decided to ride in the rodeo this weekend. I emailed the lady in charge and haven't heard back. I told Ryan I'm not going to worry about it and I'll just run Badger twice this weekend and then be more selective in the future. He'll have memorial weekend off, so that is good!
This weekend is a busy one...Saturday I'm helping Donna cause she's in charge of the GCBRA barrel race. Pam is going to watch Shelby so I can focus on my run and helping Donna all day. Sunday may be trickier since Ryan is roping and I'm running barrels. We can't get anyone to help us out with Shelby, but I'm not too worried. I'm sure we'll know someone who can help out. That's what's cool abuot the horse world. People are willing to help out.
In fact, last Sunday I had a fellow barrel racer who I don't really know offer to watch Shelby so I could ride. I thought that was soooo nice of her! I'm sure God will plant someone like that in our lives on Sunday.
As for me, I'm going to "Do Good and Run Fast"...I smell a couple of paychecks coming my way!!!

Terrible Headache is going away
LOL - I was in my school blog (www.thecayblog.blogspot.com) I am using with some 5th grade students....hahaha...I originally posted this to their blog. Wouldn't that have been funny!
Well, my headache got progressively worse. So, I called my dr and got in right away. I was able to get there and back under an hour, which is good. That means I didn't have to take any time off of work! PHEW!
I went to my OBGYN - which was great cause he is BACK! He was out last year during my pregnancy, as you probably remember, with cancer. It was absolutely wonderful to see him! Anyhow, he gave me some suggestions and so I'm going to try that.
If that doesn't work, then he's going to have me see a physical therapist for my shoulders. The left is higher than the right and the muscles are tight. I'll probably end up doing that anyhow, but I want to see if the meds he gave me will help with the headaches. I need to figure out which is causing the migraines. Doc also suggested Excedrin Migraine, so I took two of them this morning. I am feeling better, so I hope that helps. Back to work...just wanted to give you an update and let you know I'm still alive and kickin'! HA!

Terrible Headache
I keep getting these horrible headaches. I believe they are borderline migraines. Anyhow, I'm experiencing one today, not good! It is hard enough to keep my eyes open let alone be productive.
Needless to say, it's time to call the doctor. I haven't had headaches this bad in a very long time. My headache is laughing at the Tylenol I took this morning.
Anyhow, here's my run from Saturday.

Do Good, Run Fast...DONE! :)
I'm sooooo proud of Badger! He has really stepped up to my challenges this year and met them all with ease. Badger and I went from running in the 5D (in the 17s)...to the 2D (in the 15s-to low 16s)....Now, to you non-barrel racers that doesn't sound like a lot. But if you run, you understand what a big deal that is for me, us.
This weekend we had two runs in Fulshear and a team roping in Katy. Saturday, I ran a 15.8 to place 2nd in the Open 2D and 2nd in the Novice horse. That moved us up to 2nd (tie) in the standings for Novice and only 11 points behind the 1st place Novice horse. We were barely in the top 10 just a couple of races ago! We had a great run. We had a great run and brought home a check, so we can't complain. I'll add the video later this week.
Sunday morning we had to get up early to be in Katy by 9 AM. We got there only to sit til 11 AM for the roping to start. It was hot, so i spent most of the time in the truck with the a/c running while Shelby took a nap. Ryan's first heeler missed in the 1st round and his 2nd heeler legged (caught 1 leg instead of two). So, by the time he got to the 2nd round I was able to get Shelby in the stroller, pull her up 10+ steps in the colliseum just in time to watch him rope and his 2nd heeler miss. That was dissappointing, but that is how roping is. The bummer is 1st paid $3,000 a man. We sure could have used that!
Speaking of, we have had his condessor on his truck go out, the big window unit in our living room quit working (probably the compressor), our generator for the trailer is not working, I ran over a nail and blew out the tire on our car, and I smashed the side mirror of my truck. So, it was even harder to watch that money slip from our hands. Then, somehow, $80 came up missing out of our winnings/rodeo money. I have looked everywhere and have no idea what could've happened to it. Whoever has it, hopefully, needed it more than us I guess.
Anyhow, sticking with the positive....We then loaded up and headed to Fulshear for the NBHA barrel race. I felt confident after Saturday's run and was looking forward to the run. Again, it was hot, so Ryan got baby duty as I made my run. I wish I had it on video because it felt really good. I felt it was even better than Saturday. The pattern was a 1/2 second bigger, so my 16.418 was a good run in my opinion. I believe we were about 1/10 slower, but can't blame Badger. He had already been to a roping that morning! Anyhow, we placed 4th in the 2D and brought home another check.
I've decided Badger is very good with the average races because he is so consistant, so that will probably be my focus next year. Ryan and I both would rather go to the bigger races and have a chance to win bigger money.
Our weekends are quickly filling up with barrel races and team ropings. So, now it's time to start picking and choosing where to run Badger. It is hard to not run when I'm in the standings, but I need to take care of BAdger. I still hope to run some rodeos and running him two times a weekend is not good for him and will wear him out quickly. I have other horses in the barn, just no time to ride them. In time, right??? :) With that said, I'm planning to back out of the Wharton Rodeo. He doesn't like that arena. I'll also have to skip the Rodeo Sweethearts race. If you remember, I missed out on a 1D buckle my like 1/10 of a second or something like that.
Oh, that reminds me...that will be a fun weekend...3 barrel races in 2 days...I'll probably run at 2 of them. We'll see how Badger feels.
Anyhow...busy, busy, busy...We have got to get some horses sold or ridden to meet the demands of our life.
On to Shelby - She was an angel through this weekend. She had to take a lot of naps in her car seat in the truck and I was very proud of what a trooper she was! She just loves seeing all the people and showing them how cute she is. I always have to stand there as they talk to her amazed at how much she smiles. Of course, some want to hold her and talk to her. She really likes that! I can see the heat being a real challenge for us and our rodeo life with Shelby, but we will get through it. The good news is we FINALLY got a picture of her tooth. It's not the greatest pic and it's blurry, but I thought y'all would enjoy it. :) She wants to hold and chew on the camera or put her tongue over her tooth, so it's hard to get the pic just right. This has been my most successful attempt and I've been trying for weeks!
Here's a video of her...again, attempting to show the tooth...with no luck!!!
