I'm tired.
I had drill team tonight and it didn't go as well as usual. Roxie came up lame about 3/4 of the way through. I thought something was bothering her...and then someone told me that she was limping. I took her out immediately. Also, as I was standing next to her watching the others complete drill, I found lice nits on her neck. Damn. The big gelding that I brought home was covered with them last week and I have treated both him and Ace, but I thought the mares were okay. Now I have to treat them too. I'm so bummed.
To add insult to injury, my diverticulitis has flared up again tonight and I'm in pain. This is a terrible disease. I have 3 classes to teach this week, so I can't let this get me! I'm so frustrated.

We are hoping to review some more kid's profiles this week for fostering. The one that we got wasn't a child who would fit into our family, so we have to wait until one comes along. Meanwhile, the adoption proceedings for my little cousin are continuing. It's going to be an eventful year.
The girls went back to school today...yay! I love them, but I also love having quiet days to myself occasionally!
Okay, I'm off to bed.
Night!
