my bad day... yesterday...

this is why i wrote that whole little dedication to Avalon. i was really mad at some select people who really pissed me off. Peggy was having this party at her barn for the Humane Society, so we had to have everything PERFECT for them. of course it just HAD to pour down rain all morning into the afternoon. so we washed horses in the pouring rain. it was actually kind of fun. the pastures got flooded so we went out in our bare feet and splashed and slid! it was AWESOME!!!!!!!

we had the barns sparkling clean by 4 o'clock so we ate dinner. at 5pm we were supposed to do the final cleanup, pick out stalls, fill water buckets and give the horses dinner. so i went into the little barn and started picking out stalls and a certain some one is puting her MASCARA on. i figured when she was done she would help me... but she didn't. instead she went over to the other barn and rounded up 2 other people and they carried 3 EMPTY pizza boxes up the hill.

when they came down they went up and sat in the hay loft!! so i picked out stall after stall and filled bucket after bucket while they talked and laughed... i got angrier and angrier. by the time i had finished four stalls i was fuming and shaking. unfortunately i'm like my dad and don't yell at people i just do things. so i didn't yell at them. i mean... if you saw that there was work to do and the person that was doing it could use some help wouldn't you just help them??? i would... so i picked out all seven stalls and filled all the water buckets. then i went around and fed all ten horses. then i went and swept the little barn.

all this took me a grand total of thirty minutes. if they had helped it probably would have taken five-ten minutes.

of course then they came down and helped me sweep the big barn... just in time for Peggy to come down and say "oh you guys, everything looks so good. you did such a wonderful job"

i was so pissed. i think if any of them had spoken to me i would have totally blown but fortunately for them they didn't say anything to me. i couldn't stay there because i was sooooo pissed off. i was shaking and breathing hard. so i went over to the little barn where there were NO people. i went into Avalon's stall and climbed onto his back. i just lay there and told him about it all and how i would love you smack them all but that i just don't do that sort of thing.

by then people from the Humane Society were coming down to look at the horses so i slid off his back. i was still pretty mad so i got some brushes and started brushing him, even though we had given him a bath and he was spotless. by the time i actually had to have contact with and of "them" it had been and hour and a half and thanks to Avalon i had cooled off enough to be civil to people.

you don't even want to hear about today.....
