Anyone else having the day from hell??!!

Got four horses in, one with mud fever and all my stables and their corrals are flooded!! The two horses that live out are running around like idiots through the flood water when I'm trying to catch them to change their rugs!!

The chickens and ducks now have a lake, rather than a pond and my fields look like a reservoir!!

Two windows in the house are letting in water and the house in danger of flooding!

And to top it all.......the flippin terrier puppy has spend all morning barking at nothing - given me a headache!

All in all I'm having a FANTASTIC day!! But.....as I write this I am laughing about it all!!!!!!!

In my next life I'm going to play darts or even dominos.....sit in a nice warm pub with a large glass of wine - bliss!!

Massive hugs

Now, go back to bed, curl up in a little ball, pull the covers over your head & suck your thumb - then nothing bad will happen & it'll all just be fine :) hehehehe

Ahhhhh, if only that was really true eh?

Hope it lifts soon x
 
You poor thing. I have just come in from the yard drenched, but at least the stables are all dry. Not looking forward to changing the horses over at 1. Three come in and two go out. They are not impressed.
 
Just been and mucked out. He actually neighed at me from the gate. Sorry mate you will have to wait till 3pm and stretch your legs out in field as no way am I exercising him tonight in this (not like said Coblet isn't wrapped up in mw combo or anything!!) You would think he is going to dissolve!
Now going to meeting from hell for work, smelling like wet horse and stable with dripping hair :P niiooce.
 
Pretty rubbish day here as well :-(

Spent an hour last night & again this morning walking the fields in pouring rain looking for a neighbours lost dog.

I've got four horses in, two of which are coughing, think it's the blinking haylage that the contractors cut when ground was two wet!

Heading back out into the wind & rain now to bring the two that i did manage to persuade out, back in, & muck all six of them out. Then going to bulk buy feed & bedding, our local place has sold out of shavings & don't know when next lot in!!

Despite having 30 big bales of haylage blocking up the flippin yard I'm going to have to buy better stuff in as can't stand feeding my dusty rubbish. What a complete waste of time that was, now, how to get rid of it?........
 
I'm having the day from hell too. The big mare was a very stroppy so and so. Between a variety of circumstances she was off for 6 weeks. Me being sick, me going to America, then an abcess that took ages to get right. So I'm assuming she was liking her new life as pasture pet. In the past she has been capable of major tantrums that you have to ride through with patience. Thought she was through with all that. Guess not. I really wasn't in the mood for dealing with it today but I didn't have a choice. Once you get her through it she works brilliant. So we ended on a great note.

Then got 3 loads of clothes out on the line for the only dry day this week. Clothes line collapses. Wet somewhat leafy ground underneath. Cue me throwing a tantrum. I'm then furiously trying to clean so I can do work for the afternoon and the GSD is now throwing up bones all over the house. He has a funny stomach and I'm guessing he found the neighbours dogs bones. Give him his stomach stuff and now have to clean up the puke. Lots of wretching from me too! I'm putting groceries away that hubby bought and realised the fridge is not working properly and it's got puddles in the bottom. Now I'm going to eat before returning to work and TV won't work.

Everything got sorted and of course these aren't really things to get upset about but I had zilch rhythm today. Oh yeah my fields are all flooded but they've been that way all year. It's the new normal!

we're getting some serious flooding here:( friend has had to rescue her mini's as the ditch that runs one side of her field can't hold the water so it's just running across, the stream has come up and has burst it's banks the other side of her field so the water is meeting in the middle and the current nearly takes your legs away:eek: coming home from work the back lane from the next village is like a river in places, i've got a 4x4 but at one point i thought i was going to get stuck it got so deep, I'm actually dreading going to check the horses later, it was bad enough this morning but the water coming down off the hills will have reached us now so who knows how bad it will be by the time i get there:eek:
 
Yup we could Brucea which is why I added my last paragraph. It can always be worse. Sometimes it's ok to have a selfish whine now and again. I know how lucky I am.

It wasn't my turn to put the horses out this morning but I woke early and as I'm out tonight thought I'd save myself the mad rush later by mucking out this morning. Got to farm, did everything in record time (due to not having a horse there to distract me as he'd already gone out!) and headed home a good 10 minutes ahead of schedule. All going swimmingly (appropriate term for the conditions) until I made the final turn onto my road,(main road through village). I only had to travel about 100m along it to get to my house...that 100m took me 28minutes:eek:

By the time I'd gone in and had a shower, the road wasn't just gridlocked in one direction, a driver stuck in the traffic had decided to do a u-turn and go a different way and crashed into a car coming the other way. Nobody hurt thankfully, but it was right outside my house so I couldn't even get the car out of the drive! I wouldn't have minded if it meant I was able to stay in bed but I had already been up for 2 hours! to top it off I already knew today was going to be manic in work and then I was an hour late getting there:mad:

Plenty of people worse off than me though :rolleyes:
