At the rate I’m going I will be needing some eye wrinkle cream. I haven’t been sleeping well, which isn’t really new for me, but I used to be able to get a decent night’s sleep every once in awhile, but it’s been months since that has happened. Between uncomfortable living conditions and stress things aren’t great.

We keep saying “soon”, but it’s been months and we are no closer to a solution, except to find out for sure that we ourselves can not get financed for the house we want. We haven’t found a rental either…My spirits are low, my faith is low, but I keep trying to hang in.

Human Growth Hormone, better known as (hgh). I wonder what it is exactly. Is it some kind of a pill that you take if you feel you are not tall enough? It’s makes for a puzzling thought really.

Meg is rather short for her age, but I believe she needs to embrace her size, learn to use her small size to her advantage, instead of being able to take a pill, or get a shot to “correct” the problem.

I think back on the last week and wonder if a muscle supplement would have helped me at all. Dad and I spent a lot of our time cleaning out stalls. There was one night that my wrist hurt so badly that I had tears in my eyes. In truth though, I had LOTS of sore muscles!! I didn’t really mind though!!

I have to wonder if people have read the side effects that the top diet pills can have. I mean people seem to think that since it is the top diet pill on the market that means that it is completely safe, but that’s just not entirely true. I’m sure that if you used your head, and used the pills as directed that reduces your chances of something going wrong, but sometimes things happen anyway.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not against diet pills. I’ve considered using them in the past. I just hope that people use caution.

I’m not much interested in acne product reviews, but I am always interested in good products. With Des maturing and changing, she will need a good acne product. I just hope it doesn’t take me as long to find a good acne product as it did to find a good shampoo and conditioner. *LOL* I’m sure that we have tried every brand on the market, and have only in the last six months found the brand that works for us and that we like.

Watching Des with Chief the last two days has been wonderful!! Yesterday she played with him, and today she did a bit of training with him. Basically it’s more training her than Chief, but it’s been wonderful to see her taking such an interest in him.

I invision many conversations about the different breeds of horses, their characteristics, coloring, and also many conversations about the proper attire for different types of riding, and the proper gear as well. I’ve never done Eastern riding, so have never had breeches or anything like that, but was taught what they were. Dad and I will do the same with her.

Spent part of the day in Kansas City today getting new glasses and contacts for everyone. Dad even went along and got new glasses. Des will finally be able to get contacts, and we all hope that she can wear them with no problems. The Dr. didn’t forsee any problems, so that’s a big relief to Des as she has always hated wearing glasses.

After we got home we let Chief out for awhile. Des did some training with him, and he sort of cooperated. She didn’t get to catch him like she wanted, but she did get to feed him treats and learn how to approach him. She was thrilled, and I was too.

I am yearning to be able to work with Chief again, but the horrible mud here complicates things immensely. He needs his feet worked on, though it is not critical yet. He also is in bad need of a good brushing. Plus it is our hope and prayer that we will get to saddle break him this year, but this won’t happen as long as we are living here.

Our search for a house is still seeming impossible. There just isn’t much available. We went to the bank to see if we could get financed for the Aliceville house, but as expected Dad’s credit isn’t good enough because of his name being on a bill of my sister’s that she hasn’t been making regular payments on. It makes me want to cry to know that we could have gotten the financing if it wasn’t for her bills!! I suppose that is all water under the bridge, as the only thing that would help us now is for her to refinance that bill, and get my Dad’s name off of it!!

Enough for now I think. My wrists are already hurting, I’m tired, and I have work entries to do.

While I haven’t found any loose diamonds floating around, I have found and lost plenty of other things since moving. Des had a book coupon that I seem to have misplaced. I KNOW it was in the trailer a month ago, but now it’s poof, gone. I seem to lose my cell phone, keys, and lighter on a daily basis, oh and Chief’s feed can too. I lose my temper on a too regular basis too. I have found that my girls can both have a pretty crappy attitude. I have found that I despise winter more and more each day. I have even found that you can eat out too much, to the point of hating it!!!

Minimalist that I am when it comes to furniture, I’m not real hot on tv mounts on the wall. Where would I put my pictures that always sit on top of my entertainment center?? *LOL* Besides, what if the tv is too heavy and the wall ends up coming down? Okay so maybe that isn’t so likely, but having a tv mounted on the wall seems a bit too modern for me. I’ll stick with my entertainment center.

I’m pretty attached to my cell. Dad and I decided that since we both have cell phones, that we would not have a house phone. We don’t see the since in paying 2 bills, when the house phone wouldn’t hardly, if ever, be used.

When the time comes that the girls need access to a phone, when I’m not around or something, I can get them a cell on my plan for like $10, which is cheaper than a house phone would be.
