Full speed ahead -- at a gallop

Late night tonight.� Finally the storm clouds lifted (literally) and the sun came out in the afternoon.� Work was a hectic pace, ER was on divert, so had to facilitate transfers and discharges.� Nothing like walking in first thing this morning and immediately being pounced on by my supervisor to get upstairs and start moving patients.�� I am finding that I am much calmer about this sort of thing.� Experience is a good teacher.��� After work, I rushed to pick up little one from daycare and then drop her off at home.� Had to get the oldest one started on cooking some rice while I zipped off to the grocery store.� Flew through the aisles then home to get ready for riding lesson.� Quick change of clothes, gather up the saddle, the helmet and the daughter, then out the door to the barn.� Horse was in good form tonight, he behaved in his usual fashion, bucking during his warm up and then settling in to the lesson.� The routine is that he tries for the first few minutes of the lesson to prove that he is smarter than me, then gives in and behaves until the sun sets and the lights are turned on.� Then every shadow is chasing him and every mud puddle has a monster lurking in its depths.� It is quite challenging to keep this guy focused, but thankfully he didn't manage to unseat me.� I rode in my English saddle tonight, the Western saddle was a fun change, but I wanted to work on posting more and get the core in some sort of shape.� Plus, my saddle is softer.��� After the lesson, arrived home to find husband tinkering with daughter #3's racing car and dtr #2 and #3 both a bit wound up.� Daughter #2 was home today (yes, I know it's only second week of school), but she has a womping sinus infection.� Probably she will be home tomorrow too.� Daughter #3 not feeling so hot, either, she went to the nurse at school today with sore throat and achiness.� I am hoping she will go to school tomorrow.� Daughter #3 was tried on new lower dose and non-extended release ADHD med today.� I am hoping she will do well in school with that dose.� Hard to tell, though since she wasn't feeling well.� Tonight she is wide awake and it is 10:30.� She came downstairs claiming to be afraid upstairs and tucked herself into her sleeping bag in her tent in the living room (yes, doesn't everyone have a little pink tent in their living room?).� Tomorrow will be a rough morning.
