Feeling better

I fell asleep at 8 last night (thanks for tucking in the girls, Kevin) and woke up not feeling much better.  Turned out, it was medicine head.  As I turned my body, it took 2.5 seconds for the brain to catch up.  After I got up and around, though, I really felt better.  I'm not 100% yet, but I am way ahead of yesterday.

The kids are being pretty good tonight, we're shopping for DSL/phone service packages (comcast cable TV and internet together is breaking us, with no home phone...cell only), and watching CRAP on TV.  It was warmer today, I was done with everything when I left work, and I'm not sneezing, so life is definately good tonight.

I am going this weekend to pick up the girl's new horse!  There will be pictures posted this weekend, after we get him.  Dad is being soft hearted/sweet/understanding enough to let us board "Brat" at his house, so we'll get everything settled this weekend and see how Brat and Blue get along.  Blue is twice his size, so if there is any pecking order to be established, I have a feeling I know how THAT will go.  This is a "lease/option" type deal...we are going to try him out, and if we decide that he's OK for the girls, we'll buy him this summer.  His owner (a very good friend) is even going to throw in the halter and let us borrow a saddle!

He's very small, so he's for the girls only.  He's not a pony, just a small Arabian.  The girls have already ridden him, and we've all gotten to know him, so we're very excited.  We'll go to Mom and Dad's on Saturday morning, pick up the trailer, and go get him.  A big part of the afternoon will be spent getting to know him better, grooming and such.  Girls might get a short ride if he's not to disoriented.  He's travelled to trail rides, though, so I think he'll be fine.  I'm so excited.  Thanks Dad!
