This Old Mare, She Ain't What She Used to Be...

A word of advice to anyone who might be six months pregnant with three small children at home. Do not offer to give one of your children a horsey-ride around the house, chasing the other two kids. First of all, if you are six months pregnant, you have no business giving horsey rides in the first place, but to give one kid a ride means you have to give the other two kids rides or reap the consequences. By the time you are done with all three horsey-rides, you will be completely exhausted and having a LOT of braxton-hicks contractions, meaning that you have just riled your children up and then left them to go lay down so that you will not go into labor, and your now-wired children will be running wild and trying to give each other horsey rides and you will be powerless to stop them. Don't ask me how I know this, just trust me on this one, OK? Thanks.
