Re-Entering the Real World

I have barely had time to write since rodeo week. It feels like I have to remember how to live outside my rodeo world. My time at the barn has been replaced with time on the highway and my events have been replaced with long hours at the office. But I wouldn’t have it any […]

Just keep swimming…

You ever have those weeks, you feel like you are barely treading water? Usually I have a very Doryesque view of life. I mean as long as I am right side up I’ve had one victory for that day… But lately I have felt more like Nemo. Most of my struggles come from the 4 […]

I want my Mommy

Big kid life 2.0

I try not to be the obnoxious blogger that writes about what she ate that day and other mundane life events that you really couldn’t give two shakes about. But I would like to say that I was absolutely and completely worthless yesterday. In about 9 days I will be moved into the big city […]
