I just love this horse. I have a few favorites. She is at the top of the list. ; )

Finally a decent picture of this gal.

Admittedly, I'm not a good photographer. However, this gal Finally stood still long enough for me to take her picture. She's Usually up in my face or has one of those Eeyore looks going on. She is the hardest horse I have to take a picture of. I think CC looks pretty darn good. She has grown a bit, and now is a good solid 14.2. I'm hoping to send her to a trainer here shortly. She is still for sale. If interested, please contact me privately. Here's her pedigree if your interested.

My adorable Grandson. He's starting to smile quite a lot now. He coo's and is starting to hit things with his hands. He's quite the little cuddle bug too. Not that I'm complaining. I wonder if he'll like horses as much as his mom and I do. No matter, time will tell. His brother does like horses, but he is quite afraid of them when they are full grown. The only one he's Not afraid of is Cotie for some strange reason. Who knows. Maybe he senses something I don't around the others.

THE WARMTH OF A HORSE

The Warmth Of A Horse

By Shelly Whiting

~//~

When your day seems out of balance
And so many things go wrong...

When people fight around you
And the clock drags on so long...
When some folks act like children
And fill you with remorse...
Go out into your pasture
Wrap your arms around your horse.
His gentle breath enfolds you
As he watches with those eyes...
He may not have a PhD
But he is, oh so so wise!
His head rests on your shoulder
You hug him good and tight...
He puts your world in balance
And makes it seem all right.
Your tears will soon stop flowing
The tension will be eased...
The nonsense has been lifted
You are quiet and at peace.
So when you need some balance
From the stresses in your day...
The therapy you really need
Is out there eating hay!

Gregory....... being a HAM

This kid comes to life when there's a camera pointed at him. He loves to take pictures and have his picture taken. He's a real hoot! He may be 3, but sometimes he acts like he's much older and wiser then some of us "adults". He's the house clown though, that's for sure. Papa's been spoiling the heck out of him lately too, which doesn't help. LOL

Collin's first bath!

He was less then pleased. He liked it for a moment, then started crying like we were hurting him, so his bath was short and sweet. He looked so cute though. See his cheeks aren't as plump as they were when he was first born. ; ) He's so sweet.

Life is never boring

Well I did it. I went and finished my paperwork for RS. I'm not sure when I start back there, but I'll find out tomorrow I suspect.

On another note, The Store~
It seems that no matter how much one makes there is always going to be someone that is jealous, fearful, manipulative or controlling, the worst is someone who is all four. We have 3 such individuals, one that denies she is, one that is just loud and obnoxious and doesn't care who she pisses off, she treats everyone the same and everyone gets bitched about, then there's the last gal who is all four. This person is the same one who decided to say something nasty to me in front of customers. BIG NO NO. If you've got something to say to me, say it OUT of ear shot and behind closed doors. I've discussed this with the DM as well as my manager and the two other ass man's. All say the same thing. Talk to the person in question, but make sure you have a witness.

I'm not sure how long this job is going to pan out, especially cause they keep bumping me around. One day I'm working days, the next nights, then days the next. It is really taking a toll on me. I'm getting NOTHING done around here and there is a LOT to do.

So RS wants me to consider coming back FT. I'm really thinking long and hard about it. I don't like games. I'm there to get a paycheck - period. If you've got something to say to me, pull me aside and tell me what's on your mind, but don't play the stupid games in the process.

I did find out tonight, that I won't get a check for another 3 weeks. They hold it for a full month. What the hell kind of crap is that!? This is Another thing I'm going to bring up at the monthly meeting. Schedules and pay. Hell I've been there just shy of 2 weeks and I'm already questioning my decision to continue there or not. Although it is fun and I do enjoy it, and as a bonus, I've lost 8 lbs already. I've been fighting to get that off. YES! Now to loose the rest of it and pray it doesn't find me again! What to do, what to do..... That is the question!
