Well, almost through all the trips back and forth to get college girls squared away. D2 is home for the next few weeks. D3 is leaving for China early Wed morning and the only trip I have left to make is to ASU to pick up the cello. So maybe by Wed I'll have something worth blogging about.

Have several ideas, but each will take a bit of time to do research to back up my points. I'm leaning toward a socialised medicine rant...

Still raining here day after day. Yard is way out of control. My horse is still not responding to treatment, that makes me sad and nervous. More x-rays tomorrow. Hope hope hope it shows some improvement. D2 just informed me her windshield is cracked.

Mother's Day was rather nice. Kids made breakfast, then himself volunteered to run D3 back to Boone so I wouldn't have to (he had to drive up to Richmond for the week anyway). Got some nice smelly bath stuff from the kids. Then himself and D3 left and D2 took S1 to the barn leaving me in a quiet house for 3 hours. The barn kids returned for about 1 hour then left again giving me another 4 1/2 hours to myself and peace. Now I know full well in 10 years my idea of a great mother's day will be having them all in the house, but for now - a day with them all out of the house and me in it is just lovely.

How was that for a bunch of nothing?
