Reflections

Reflections.

Its amazing to look back over the years and see what I've done with my life.  Its amazing to me to see all the different places I've lived and all the people I've met. 

 

I got a job at a horse farm and at the same time I was house sitting for a family.  Then I got my own apartment and another horse job.  I've met some interesting people most of whom I no longer talk to.  But they all have left their own foot prints in my life, good or bad, they are there, and there they will stay.

 

 

I got back into Hockey, not playing mind you…..just a fan.  Got to go to a few games and spend some time hanging out in DC.  Good times. 

 

 

I then moved back home and within a month moved back out to a new house over west of DC.  Yes!  That means I'm close to Hockey!  The players, arena, and practice arenas! 

 

 

I look at my poor horse who has had to put up with all the ups and downs of my life.  She has been moved so many times…but she seems to deal well with it.  The most recent barn is 6 miles from me and the kids and I get out there almost every day! 

 

 

Now I am at another bend in the road…..to stay where I am or move back home and start over there again.  Either choice can lead to a good path, I just need to see which one I want to go down.  Which means the horse…bless her soul…will be moved yet again. 

 

 

And now to top off the rollercoaster I call life….I was driving back to work this morning and was on 50…..A car pulled in front of me…so to avoid hitting him I pulled into the HOV lane to pass him and was going 35 miles an hour to get back into the fast lane…when a cop who already had 5 cars pulled over…steps in front of my car and starts yelling at me to pull over!  Not only did he make me 30 min late….but I now have a $90 fine and 1 point on my license!  So not fair!  Sometimes I wonder why the cops waste their time on fining the lowest of offences when there are way more serious offenders out there?  But who am I to judge what they do with there time.

 

So anyway….my life in a nut shell…..turmoil!

Love

Pony time

Ok....so this is great!  For the past two days the kids and I have gone to the barn to spend time with Shy.  I love it because the barn is SO close!  We are there in like 10 min! 

Morgan was a little afraid of shy but now everyday asks if we can go see her.  We get there and catch her...shes in a HUGE field....then the kids and I walk her back up to the fence and tie her up.  They get so excited about grooming her!  up and down and up and down they go....side to side....they are even feeding her treats!  Its so nice for me to get to see my baby girl!  And you can just tell how much she loves them!  She loves to nuzzle grants head....and cant wait to get treats from the kids!

So took some pictures...you can see them in my pics part.

I just love seeing how excited they get to see her....we actually had to go down to the lower barn to see if her blanket was down there....and they have two pigs and Grant LOVED them...as I was putting him down for nap he kept asking about the pigs....lol.... Just got to love kids!

 

Ok peace and love...

Ok so lets see here. .....for one I was leasing my horse to a girl and now she has backed out and the barn she is at is being taken over so we have to have the horses out by the end of the month....So I find a great barn 10 min away!  Yeah me!  But get this there is an outbreak of the EVH-1 in Northern Virginia....right where I LIVE!  WTC!  So 6 barns in my county are locked down because this viruse is deadly to horses...no cure or vac for it.....so today the vet came out and Shy got a clean bill of health..so tomorrow she will be moving to her new home....but the new barn is in the county that has the infected horses....so we have got to watch to make sure none of our guys get sick.....GAH! Stupid people coming up from florida.

In other news....doing good....might not be a nanny after the 12th of march..but get to stay where i am for FREE! Yeah this place is great!  So now just got to get a job....I am looking at one with the CIA right now....so *fingers crossed!!

Ok thats it....just horse worries!

Peace out

Ok thought it would be a good time for an update.

1:  I was going to move down to Georgia to live with my aunt....but I just wasnt getting a settled feeling about it.  Something just didnt feel right.  So I decided to stay in Virginia and told my boss and she was glad because things werent going the way she thought it was going to go.  So I'm in virginia for awhile...and I LOVE it here!  other than the crazy weather we have been having.  It snowed but sleeted and freezing rain made 4 inchs of pure ice....not good!

2: Tried to go out to the gym and my truck was stuck and the tow company couldnt get out because of tons of others in the same situation.  So this morning the kids and I went out and amazingly enough some how with moving the car around and going forward and back we got the truck out.  wouldnt have been a problem if I had 4 wheel drive! Darn me for not getting 4 wheel drive!!

3: The girl who was leasing shy pulled out and the barn she is at is closing...so again looking for a new home for shy.  There are tons to choose from....its just the prices are a little steep.  My fav barn cost 1200 a month in board!!!  I was like what?! Thats more than my car, phone, gas, and insurance each month!!  So thats a no go!

4: My grandmother died over Christmas and it still is just weird to know that I just cant pick up a phone and leave her a message.

Still dont have any friends because I just dont have time to get out because of my jobs hours...I now know what it feels like to be a single mother.  I love them to death!  So many hugs and kisses! 

So I guess thats it!

 

Peace and love

Well why does it seem that when bad times come....its comes like....WHAM!!!  First off my poor Aunt and Uncle have been taking care of my sick grandmother....and she just passed away on the 27th of december......and not 10 min after she passed away they got a call that a good family friend was killed in a car accident over in Italy!  If that isnt enough to make you sick their brother in law was told that he had cancer and brain tumors all over his body and was put into the hospital...Well we got the news that he passed away this morning......ok  if that isnt ENOUGH!  On our way home from Ky we got the news that my cuz was in a car accident...she walked away....but you know it could have been worse.....then last night we find out that my OTHER cuz got into a bad car accident as well but also walked away.  Its amazing how it all seems to come all at once.....goodness....I just feel so bad for my Aunt and Uncle. 

 

So anyway...I am fine....back to work after 2 weeks off......not all pleasure.....the kids were so excited to see me.....its nice to know that I've been missed.  I just love walking in the door and hearing them start shouting my name the moment I walked in the door.  So anyway....I'm just glad to be back to work.
