Lack of Motivation

It seems I can't get back into the swing of things. I really thought I'd hit it hard when we got back from vacation. As it is, I can barely muster up enough energy to do daily chores. And to top it off, my brain is getting sluggish so I can't even think of anything to blog about! How sad is that.

I'm starting to get a little perplexed as far as where to put everyone. I realized last night, the pony pasture is done.I need to pull them out so that I can take down the corral panels. I need the corral panels for the girls, who I plan to bring home this weekend.

But that leaves the question of where to put the ponies. And since this weekend is Prairie Village, do I pull them out and leave them while I stay in Madison or do I make a mad dash home every night to care for them. I'm opting on the second option so I can feed Bob.

Speaking of Bob. I'm not sure if it's having been gone for a full week or if he lost weight while we were gone but he's starting to look tough. I'm starting to get sick over what I'm going to have to decide soon.

I'm not sure when I'll be bringing the girls home. I was thinking of bringing them home on Friday but I don't have the corral panels set up or the ponies moved. It might depend on what the vet says for King. I want to bring him home too but if the vet says calm, quiet environment, I'm leaving him at mom and dad's. The problem is, Chaos plays with King and if King isnt' there, Chaos will pick on Bob. I really need to get a few more pastures set up so I can move horses around in the fall when their attention is turned more towards being bored instead of lush grass.

I'm planning on taking Rain and Chaos to Prairie Village. I was thinking of taking Sam but with King in the trailer, there's no room. I really need to find a good deal on a slant load trailer. I did find out but it's too far away and I'm not ready to get another loan.

I'm not sure what we'll work on tonight. I hope that we'll be motivated tonight to get some stuff done. I think maybe we'll start on the other mare pasture or I'll figure out how to lock the ponies in their pen and do a big switch a-roo. I need to get them out of there so that they can actually eat grass.

It'll be nice to be able to get in to the trees and clean it up a bit more. I've never messed with the trees behind the new garage and pony pen. It's always been so cluttered. But now that the ponies have eaten everything down to dry grass we can get in and do some chainsawing. I love the smell of cut trees. There's so many dead trees on our place.

Hopefully we'll be productive tonight. Otherwise it'll find me sitting in front of the tv wishing I could muster the energy to head outdoors. I need to post some pics too. Maybe then I'll feel more creative and give you all something more to talk about other than my lack of motivation. :-)
