We had our staff horse camping trip this past week.I couldnt stay the night but ended up at least going for the day, and Im glad I did. Next time Im deffinately staying the whole trip.

sister tatts

I'm itching for new ink. I'm not going to deny it either. I have 5, I'm addicted and I am ready for more. Huney and I take turns getting ink and Its my turn this time This is what I'm getting.(look to the right)~~~~~~~~~~~~>

Ive been thinking about my sister lately that I never got a chance to meet. She was still an infant when she passed away, and she was disabled.She had a congenital heart defect that my son also suffers from, and I believe she also had Down Syndrome a hair lip and a cleft palate.I know we would have gotten along famously and I also know that she is a big part of the reason I feel so passionately about my work at REINS even though she passed away 12 years before I was born.

I was supposed to get my tatt for my pop next, but for some reason I'm just not ready for that one yet.I don't know why, Its just not the right time.I will know when Its the right time. I want to somehow put her name into the Tatt somewhere, and also her life line. You know..the date she was born, and the date that she crossed over. I feel very strongly about this Tatt.I dont get them just to get them, and every one of them has a reason and a meaning behind them.This one will be very special and have some strong emotions and feelings tied to it....

Heavy heart

Hmmm... So much to say, just dont know how to put it into words.I love my job. Honestly.I love all my students and the parents are amazing. This last week I had a run in with one of my parents that left me with a very heavy heart, and huge black cloud over my head that stills there.

I want to think that I handled it like a proffesional,(and that means Im not going to go into details here)and I have been going over it again and again in my mind trying to think how I could have handled it different.I dont think there was anything that I could have done differently.

The encounter left me thinking about my job,and how I treat my students and there families.Should I distance myself more?Do I get too involved?Mabe,but I dont think I want to be different. I think that would change the type of instructor that I am.

Tuesday is a new day. I will start over with a clean slate and just go from there........

Does. Not. Dance

This morning I went to my very first Zumba class. Oh.my. word!It was actually a lot of fun, and this is coming from some one who is very self concious, and does not dance, as my title says.My two girfrinds from the cafe talked me into going, and Im really glad I did, although when we first got going I was looking for the nearest exit.Once I quit worrying about what every one else though of me, I relaxed and had a good time.

I got my plane ticket yesterday for my vacation in June!Im so stinkin excited! My niece is getting married, so Im going to fly back to virgina for the wedding. Ill be gone for about 8 days.Its going to be my first solo vacation since.. well ever. Em and the hubby will be staying behind so now that my shifts are covered I will have to work things out for getting her to school and back.Lots to still think about.

Today has been my first day off in a little over a month. I have been enjoying it greatly!

calories dont count on Thanksgiving right?

We had an awesome Thanksgiving yesterday. Huneys Cousins came, and his brother and Uncle as well. We ate so much, Im still full!!

Huneu deep fried a turkey, and yes our house is still standing. I love it that way. I dont think well ever go back to the old traditional way of doing a turkey. It only takes an hour when you deep fry it! For Real!

Of course with all that lovely food comes carnage...Thats going to be a lovely turkey soup by the way......

And after the carnage comes the delightful chore of.... Dishes...I just now got my kitchen back together today. I did 4 loads in the dishwasher I think...Joy! I still have one in there right now!

This wasnt even all the dishes. People were still eating, and then like an hour later we had pie!

My child is a goofball. and shortly after this was taken escaped the dishes masacre and headed to her friends house to spend the night. Shes still there, so I should probably call and see when shes coming home.

A few of the boys hanging out and paying the x-box. They have a PS3 so we are constantly going rounds about who has the best system...lol..

I went and rode Grand this afternoon. I made the mistake of taking the flash off of her bridle and she was an absolute brat. You can bet its going back on her bridle tomorrow. I have to work tomorrow morning so Im going to try to make the time to ride at some point.

Huneys going to bring the Chrsitmas stuff in soon so Im going to run the vaccum and get ready to put the tree up. Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! Remember... alories dont count on Thanksgiving!

Im cold

I have been cold since Saturday when I had to work in the rain all morning.Im not complaining though because it was just me and s.n.c and the horses all morning. It was very very peaceful, and we got a lot done.Huney just turned on the furnace for the first time since last winter and you can smell the dust in the air.Hopefully It will take the chill out of the air soon!

I have Nothing done for Thursday. I havent done any of the shopping and I have to work every day this week. WOOPS!Oh well. I will get it done somehow. Probably tomorrow night when I get off work at 9 or so.Wednesday when I get home from work I will get the house clean so thats out of the way...

My lovely friend Judy lent me a book tonight that I am dying to read. I am tired so I will shower and then climb into bed with it. Since I am glutten for punishment, I will pick up the lovely Stephen King novel she lent me instead of Coal Miners daughter..
