Jack, our smaller horse went to a new home today. We still need to find a new home for the Morgan mare which will be trickier as no one is really interested in a 23 year old horse who has never been broke to ride and hasn't been on a horse trailer in 20 years.

Tomorrow I will be fixing T-Bone steaks for my family as a birthday dinner to myself. My mom and her fiance will be joining us...they both have some reservations about eating the beef but I have NONE what-so-ever.

On Friday B became one of the youngest students I know of to receive an in school suspension. He was throwing large rocks at other kids on the playground and then fought the staff when they tried to get him to the office. It's frustrating but I think he'll do better for them in the smaller setting this week and maybe it'll bring home what I've been trying to tell the school - that B needs a smaller setting to function.

Happy birthday! Oh yeah I bet you have no problem eating that steak . Hope you have a great one.

Hope things work out with the school. I agree---I know some think that teachers not wanting big classes is just whining, but there is so much truth behind how students perform better in a smaller class, particularly with students who say have ADD/ADHD or just need more one-on-one/less commotion around them in order to focus.

Happy Birthday Emily! Hope you have a great day!

I can understand the situation with B to a point. We have had some issues with Logan too. With cooperation from the teacher we seem to have found a happy medium. He's been doing better since a couple of new ideas have been implemented. Still needs some extra help at home but his behavior at school has gotten better.

Hope you had a great birthday!!!!

And yeah...I just knew you'd enjoy eating that jumping beast...much easier to care for in the freezer, and sounds pretty tasty too
