Tuesday's Thoughts
Hey all...
I thought I'd pop my head in here even though I don't have much to report. Thankfully Little D is doing better though. So far Big D has been staying strong and hasn't come down with it and I'm hoping that will stay the course. We have a big weekend ahead of us, her and I. Friday is her choir talent show in which Matt was able to get off for. I am thrilled to say that all worked out. Big D is going to "recycle" a song from her past talent shows since no one has heard her sing "Reflection" from Mulan. Her and I weren't crazy with the idea, but Matt thinks it's the best way to go for this one. For her school talent show we still haven't decided and it is supposedly just about 2 weeks away. Still haven't gotten any information regarding it even though in their monthly newsletter they stated the date... goofy!
Then on Saturday is the all-day girl scout camp. I am really-really trying to be a bit more positive about it, but honestly I am not looking too forward to it. I feel badly that I feel this way, but maybe it won't be nearly as eh as I'm thinking it will be. Perhaps I'll even be pleasantly surprised with it. But because Matt works all day on Saturday I have arranged my mom to come and babysit Little D. We won't get home in enough time to get back out to her lesson (even though it's probably only a 15 minute or so drive to the barn, but we will have a car load of girls to take back to their parents) so we have arranged it for Sunday. Her instructor has a group lesson from 2-3p so we are going to give it a try. Big D is use to only a 1/2 hour and a private lesson at that, so this will be a new experience for her. But I'm anxious to see how she does.
I'll be teaching aerobics tomorrow (like usual) and it's going to be my first try at a circuit class for this session. It's been awhile since I've taught one and I'm not looking all too forward to it, but I guess it'll probably go alright. I like sticking with just the cardio for the first 40 minutes and then doing the toning at the end/separately. Oh well...
I am still on this "wanting to move" kick, but still Matt's not all too responsive to it at all. It is disappointing to say the least. So rarely do we see eye-to-eye on things, I was really hoping we would agree on this, but we don't I'm sad to say. It does say he would like to move eventually just not now. It's a lot more complicated than what I'm posting here, but it is still frustrating especially when I've found some truly lovely houses I could imagine our family living in and having so much more room and being organized (which is nearly impossible with how much stuff we have and the limited space) - that would be so awesome in my book.
Today for me is my day to go out and see Slick. I still haven't gotten a reciept or his papers since as of last week my instructor had yet to see the previous owner. I think it is going to take getting those things (for starters) for it to really sink in and make me realize I do actually own a horse, because honestly it still feels unreal to me. I am in the process of trying to get a farrier to trim his hooves as he is now overdue, but the guy that everyone at the barn really recommends is having sever back pain and is due to have surgery in a couple weeks, then he'll be laid up for 2 months and doesn't even know if he's going to continue with that line of work! So there's this other guy who a couple people use, but he's more expensive and he has a tendency to trim on the shorter side, but I think I am getting desperate so I'm going to sign up and get him to do Slick's feet. He was the one who trimmed off the cracked off piece of his hoof over 2 months ago, so at least he'll know of Slick.
Other than that, I don't know as of now if I'll be taking a lesson today or just out to putz. I took a lesson last week and really got a major workout and my lower back was KILLING ME! Does anyone know any good exercises to do to help strengthen the lower back?? I am so weak, lol that I could use strengthen there.
Anyway, I think I've rambled on long enough for now.
Take care each and everyone of you!
