We just got done with a hell of a thunderstorm. It was loud. We sat out on the patio, watched the water drift in, and enjoyed the change in temperature. It was cool
We have been busy as heck the last few days. Mom, Dad & the kids will be here Sunday afternoon and I have been stressing on getting everything done around the house.
I came home yesterday and Harold was so sweet and made my life easier. He got a great portion of the cleaning and organizing done. I did get the mopping & a portion of laundry done, even though I was about to collapse with exhaustion since I hadn’t gotten enough sleep the last few nights.
It made today so much easier. We did our errands 1st thing this morning, then we attacked the remaining of the cleaning and organizing. There are only a few things I didn’t get done today and that was email related. I will work on my emails tomorrow after work, since I won’t be able to get to them until Thrus of next week the earliest.
We did spend some time jumping into the pool. Though I think Harold was trying to drown me as we played with the nerf-like football we picked up today………..grin We had a lot of fun.
My folks left from Indiana today and are spending the night in Georgia. They will be visiting aunt Maire on the other side of the state Sunday before heading here. I’m so looking forward to seeing them. I miss them.
Time for me to get my ass to bed. I have to get into work early.

An Inconvenient Woman
**Just think how much better women would’ve been treated and thought of in both christian and muslim faiths if her role would’ve been acknowlegde. But no, cultural prejudices on gender had to persist and enslave have the human race based on sex alone. If you look at where women stand today internationally, we haven’t come as far as we would like to believe. We are just better off then women in other countries and we just don’t want to see what they are going through. But if we did, we would have to acknowledge that we really haven’t come that far and we could easily go back.
Surgeon optimistic, cautious on Barbaro
**There is hope! I have my fingers crossed for him. I couldn’t fully understand why they would have to put him down when other animals (dogs…etc) have gone on with only 3 legs. Until Harold sent me this ” the possibility of infection from the surgery and laminitis, a potentially fatal disease sometimes brought on by uneven weight balance.” =(
Women vets refuse ‘victim’ label
**I had planned to comment on this awhile ago. I believe these women should be held to as proof that they can serve as fully as men. They have suffered the conquences of war and have endured, for better or worse, just like the men. Women have been suffering the conquences of war since man learned how to inflict pain onto one another. The difference is serving is that they have been given the choice on how to suffer war, whether hiding in a corner or being allowed to take their fate in their own hands.

Religious liberals gain new visibility
***About damn time!!!
Bernardini Wins Preakness, Barbaro Out
*** Harold recorded and waited for me to come home so we could watch it together. He even avoided going to EPSN and avoided the sports news on CNN. It was a heart breaking to see what happened Barbaro. When you saw his leg……I just cried. Unfortunately it took out our enjoyment of the race. =( Even if we weren’t pulling for him, we hate to see that happen to an animal. I just hope he pulls through.

We had a good day today. Got home from the b&b, laid down for a bit and went horse back riding.
I haven’t done that since the summer of ’88 in Alaska. It is amazing how natural it felt to be back in the saddle. Harold posted the pics from it. =)
Once we got home, we did the pool thing and then chilled.
I did get the never ending laundry caught up and litter done. Otherwise it was a couple of weeks of emails done.
I had a few things in mind to post about, but I’m tired & I’m feeling kind of out there, so those thoughts aren’t forming very well…..lol
It was just nice to spend some quality time together. =)
