The weekend that Hubby got TKO'ed by a horse

 Usually my weekends are pretty boring but we had an on-the-go weekend & of course, Mother's Day - with a touch of crazy... so why not do a post on that.

Friday is one of my work from home days & it is the BEST so sleep in an extra hour on Friday - have on comfy pants & flip flops.  It was a beautiful day too so I even got out & walked at lunch.... & make sure to watch more of the Karen Read trial.  We have a detective on the stand for the past few days that is alllllll sorts of cocky & knows he messed up.  He actually - from the first trial - got discipline actions taken against him - & the Trooper under him that REALLLLY messed up got let go. Its all the popcorn drama.

We ran over & did the horses after work & then rode to the town over to get some pizza.  I love Friday Pizza days.  No cooking - leftovers for the weekend. Win Win.

Friday has become our routine too to watch Survivor with our pizza... classic old marriage couple Friday night.  This season has been amazing though.  

IYKYK .... & Star laughing behind David is just the BEST

Saturday, I got up & took my coffee & book outside & it was CHILLY! Like low 40's chilly -forget that - I came back in to my library & read a little bit. Then it was time to run out & get some things done.

We headed to Home Depot because I need a new handle for our screen door. It's not latching & I really need the screen door to close because Mr. Rusty likes to grab the ball when we play & take it inside & hide it.  NOOOO - these balls are like GOLD. I'm not even joking. They are a special ball that we've had since our Yellow Lab, Buffy was around - so like 18 years ago.  They dont even make them anymore & I'll try & find them on web pages & snag up all I can get when I find them.  I've got like 3 or 4 stored up - but we guard these balls with our life. I dont know what makes them so magical to dogs - but every single dog we've had - only these balls will do.  Its really wild .

I literally called a pet store in New Hampshire one time to see if they would ship me what they had. I'm tell you - if anyone finds these near you, let me know!!! Or if you find one for your dog - you'll be their favorite person in the world.

Anyways - Home Depot ... it was PACKED. Everyone was getting their flowers for their flower beds because around here - everyone knows the rules. YOU DONT PLANT TILL AFTER DERBY DAY. Its law here basically.  & it holds true. It can get cold - & even snow - up to then - so its the safest day to start planting. Needless to say - they didnt have any handles that we needed. Dang it.

Hubby needed to go to Harbor Freight, which I was like, MEH - nah! & this is why I love having 2 kindles. I keep my new version Kindle at home - & I keep my older one in my purse for on the go reading.  It was such a pretty afternoon so I told him, take your time man, I'm good!

We headed out to get some lunch afterwards & saw a friend of ours granddaughter working there.  It's wild because we hadnt seen her since she was an itty bitty little girl.  & I've seen pics of her growing up - how I recognized her - & she's graduating this year. But its wild to see how fast kids grow up!  Bonus - our lunch came with a cheesecake & yes please & thank you.

I got raspberry - Ricky got Chocolate... he wouldnt share LOL

We headed to Sam's Club & again - ALL THE CROWDS! My goodness - the day before Mother's Day - remind me to not go out that day.  It was just insanity. The beautiful weather, I'm sure helped.  I had to get my paper plates & coffee creamer.  They have the BIG containers of Chobani Coffee creamer for 6.99.  

The SMALL bottles are $6.99 in the grocery stores!!!!! So I snag up on these every time I go to Sam's! They just recently went up too - they used to be $5.99! even LESS than what the grocery is.  This is the BEST coffee creamer ever too.  Its just Milk, sugar & cream. Have you ever read some ingredients on some coffee creamers? Scary stuff.

We stopped at Starbucks on the way home .... my usually spring/summer drink on trend for me right now. Peach Green Tea Lemonade.  DELISH! ... & as Ricky says, its got green tea in it - so its HEALTHY, right? I'll go for that!

The rest of my Saturday, this was basically my view.... finished up a book & played with the dogs.  A perfect Saturday!

Sunday was Mother's Day & quite the chaotic day.  
Started off nice & relaxing... more outside time & taking it easy for most of the morning.

Then I was headed to mom's while Ricky headed to see his mom... I get to my mom's house & a little black mini horse is running wild - in the streets - in my mom's yard.  He has gotten out twice before & he keeps coming over to mom's house - especially to see Baby - he's OBSESSED with her. 

We had the number of the owner, but my mom didnt have it anymore & my brother, who talked to him before - was asleep (he works 3rd shift) & I'm like, what do I do??? Luckily, my sister in law was able to get my brother's phone & give the guy a call letting him know his horse was out & back at his girlfriend's house.

In the meanwhile - I look & see - Cochese did a KOOL AID man move & busted through the fence to Baby's area - he does NOT want her getting hear the black horse. 

Cochese is sooo protective over Baby.  He worries for her - watches over her - he does NOT want this little man coming in stealing her away from him.  I told her she's the diva having two men fight over her like this.

He busted through the gate on the other side - & he's keeping her back up against the barn so she can't get close to the other horse.  It was wild to watch this.

I ended up calling Ricky & he turned around to come help me.  He had to get rope to hold the fence back together until we get a replacement board.  We got Cochese out of Baby's area & then we was going NUTS to keep that horse away from the fence.  They both would run towards the gate & rear up at each other... talk about some Male Energy. Geez guys - calm down.

But one time Cochese came rearing to the fence to be all BAD BOY - Ricky was leaning over trying to fix the fence & Cochese took his head & BATTED Ricky in the head - I told Ricky it looked like he went SAILING through the air - he landed on the ground & rolled... & laid there about 30 seconds. 

Kinda like this - but imagine the ball being a HORSE'S HEAD

I WAS FREAKING OUT.... Ricky finally was like WHOOOO - my head. He got a little goose egg above his eye. It was terrifying to me.  Ricky said, all I could think was, This is how I die - by a horse hitting me. LOL

We finally got the little horse tied up so he wouldnt keep charging at Cochese... & waited for the guy to come get his horse.  We told him, ummm - if you're ever missing your horse, I think its safe to assume you can just start right here. 

What a crazy afternoon....

Finally got that taken care of & took mom out to pick up some dinner. Whew! Needed some drinks after all that.  

I never even got a pic of my mom on Mother's Day.... I was just glad for some calm. 

I did get pics of the flowers I got her though - they were so pretty & I want to go back & get some for my porch now.

I ended up getting home & waiting for Ricky to get home as well so I could see the beaner on his head... it didnt swell up much - he's A-OK! .... & got a call from Julie & Lindsay wishing me a Happy Mother's Day & getting to catch up with them. Good phone calls to end the day.  Love our girls!!!
