Good morning :) Hope your meeting went well, Hunter. Sometimes the anticipation is worse than the actual event, huh? Glad Chatter has work again :) Sometimes I wish my hubby didn't have so much work.... between the motorcycle and plane businesses he is stretched thin sometimes and add in travel..... I keep the home fires burning :)
My MIL fell on Sunday morning, knocked herself out for about 5 minutes :( Instead of calling 911, my FIL called us and wanted Gary to come "look at her." Couldn't convince him otherwise so off Gary went. She had a big bump on her head and he managed to convince them to take her to the Dr. where they as predicted, sent her to the hospital. CT scan showed a possible bleed, she was disoriented and her blood pressure was high so she was hospitalized. Last night or this morning depending on what you call it, the hospital called at midnight because she was screaming and yelling that she had to go home for some party..... We spent about an hour on the phone with her, calming her down, trying to orient her to the fact that it was midnight, everyone was or should be asleep, she wasn't going to get to go home in the middle of the night. She was yelling, crying, shrieking, poor thing :( I'm going to visit her in a bit, then hopefully my FIL gets there at some point and Gary will after work. She doesn't remember the visits at this point. Was trying to think of some way for her to stay connected to reality, even when we aren't there.....
The lessons out at the Equestrian Center went well, had the whole place to ourselves so the kids enjoyed riding in the arenas even though it was pretty hot..... I ended up being responsible for the neighbor boy as the parents were already occupied with something else and the Grandma had car trouble..... The parents don't realize what that means when hauling a 9 yr. old and his horse..... ah well, he enjoys it and I don't want his love of horses and riding hindered by a lack of supervision on their part. It is better since the Grandma got involved because she actually has horses and knows what she's doing. Going riding with my co-worker who borrows Spirit to see if the turmeric/pepper regimen has helped him. He seems to be off when carrying someone over about 90 lbs and I read about the turmeric being more effective than bute so we've been doing it for about a month and hopefully it helps and he will be sound for our Morro Bay trip in 2 weeks!
CPG-we are getting a campus supervisor this year so our principal won't have to be in charge of discipline :) We have about 700+ kids (elementary) and last year we were told she could only handle discipline one day a week? What are we supposed to do the other 4? Anyways, happy about the fact that we'll have a designated person . Glad you got rain :)
I don't think we can even get round bales where we are. We always get the 100+ lb. bales with 3 strings. Orchard is running $24 a bale right now!!
Need to think of something for dinner that will cook itself tonight since I'll be riding. Last night I made chicken taco soup in the crockpot, turned out great, topped with crushed Fritos and cheese :)
Hope everyone is great out there in forum land..
