You know, we’ve lived out in the country for about three years now… and sometimes it seems like a long time. But sometimes I can tell it hasn’t been nearly long enough for me to be anything but clueless about many commonplace living-in-the-country-having-animals kinds of things.
Like having your horse’s teeth floated.
I went to bed Friday night I feeling like […]

My friend L sent me this link to a very interesting podcast from NPR about changes in the genetic code in people with schizophrenia. I thought it was fascinating…
Thanks L!

According to this test, I type 360 characters per minute, or 64 words a minute. Once I even did it with no errors. Another time I scored 69 words per minute (but had errors).
Ha! So much for all those typing classes I flunked out of in high school. I just needed the right motivation…like blogging… to learn […]

We had a lovely Easter.
Well… except for M getting up at 4 a.m. because he was so excited about getting his Easter basket.
And except for having to follow M around constantly at Grandma and Grandpa’s because there was so much food sitting out.
All in all though, it was a nice day. Two of our older […]

We brought R’s horse Blaze home Thursday night, and it took all day yesterday for me to recover! Blaze’s previous owner only lives about 20 minutes away from us, but it ended up taking 6 hours to get him home…
The trouble started when R’s old riding instructor, who was supposed to help us pick Blaze up and […]

…..and R is in heaven, she has a horse of her own again!
He’s a registered quarterhorse (which should make Granny happy!), and he’s 12 years old. He’s a little hard to catch, but once he’s caught he’s well mannered and even knows some “tricks” that Grant didn’t know. (If you touch his leg and say […]

Be sending good horsey thoughts our direction this morning please…. We’re going to go look at another horse.
Unless his owner totally lied to me about him, I’m going to buy him.
I’ve been doing serious horse shopping for the past couple of weeks… Checking the ads on Craiglist twice a day, telling friends and neighbors that we are […]

I’ve been posting a bunch of pictures lately, but none of the kids… I think it’s time to rectify that!
We went on a field trip to Cici’s pizza the other day, the kids got to tour the restaurant and make their own pizzas… It was a great field trip, although both kids were […]

Yawn…. it’s 6:15 a.m., but it feels like 5:15 and I’m tired and would like to go back to bed. It’s taking me a long time to get used to the time change.
I wish they would leave the clocks alone.
Things have continued to be up in the air in terms of M. The pdoc is still saying she’s […]

I’m starting to feel as though I’m getting my feet back under me after the past week of stress and uncertainty.
It feels good…
I still haven’t heard from the pdoc, but enough time has gone by that, if she tries to insist on day treatment or an inpatient stay, I should be able to argue that […]
