Prayers for Randy

He is not sure what is going on but wow does he hurt, mid-trunk on one side and not the side that would be appendix... he thinks it might be a kidney stone! After Midweek Fellowship we did a special prayer for him. And since I am so worried he promised to go to the VA tomorrow...

Who Wants What?

Lindsey will be out soon and has decided that she is NOT taking most of her furniture... although she did say she would take our couch and loveseat so we don't have to worry about what to do with that now. So far we are finding homes for stuff pretty quick... the bunkbeds to a guy Randy works with, the dresser to a gal I know through the riding website, and hopefully the desk to another gal from the riding website, a huge bag of clothes to another gal from the riding website, and some outgrown (long ago geez!!! cannot believe she still has this stuff!!!) to yet another gal from the riding website. I am sure we will be heading to Goodwill with several piles of stuff...

Typical that she has known for a year that she would be moving and NONE of this stuff was gone through ahead of time {sigh}!!!

Dry Blogging...

Yes that's right. Dry. As in, I have nothing to say. So I will tell you that you should scroll down my blog list and go visit That Chick Over There. At least SHE will make you laugh... cry... whatever. She always gets a reaction from me...

A Really Nice Ride

Met a few friends at the E.L. Henderson trail head on New River Road today. Folks have been working on the trail there and wow was it nice. Had a super time, just four of us total and all on gaited horses so boy did we MOVE OUT... what a lovely day. Except I forgot the camera sorry!

Too Cute

Nothing going on around here so go visit http://carrollfarm.blogspot.com/2009/01/new-year-new-babies.html and check out the adorable goat babies...

It's Coming...

It really is coming. Lindsey is moving out soon. We will be down to ONE KID in the house. And that one? She will be 18 in less than 2 months. Still in high school and at home for 3 more months after that but I will no longer have any "children" - I will have ADULT CHILDREN.

Wow.

Kinda weird but you know what? I CAN'T WAIT! I have the most amazing relationship with my oldest. And a key ingredient is, SHE DOESN'T LIVE WITH ME. I can't wait to have that with the other two. Really. I want to be friends and not "just" mom. I am so tired of having to nag about chores etc. I want to be done with that! I don't want to be "mom" any more. Not unless my kids have FOUR LEGS!!!!!

Now don't get me wrong. I love my girls and I always will, no matter what. I will always care whether they are happy or sad, whether they are healthy or sick, whether their lives are going well or not...

That part of "mom" is ok.

But I am really really really looking forward to no more nagging!!!!!

Luna update :)

In an effort not to bore you, I have stayed away from the subject of Luna for a few posts... but I am so excited I can't stand it any more, here you go:
Day 1. Still not used to a rider up top. See how awkward her legs (especially rear) look...

Day 2. Legs better!

Day 3, off the property and into the wash!!



My baby girl is all grown up!!
