Our Labor Day!

Why is it that whenever you don’t want to get sick, the opposite happens? Or whenever you don’t want something to get injured, it always does? Well, that is how our life has been the past few days. We were really excited to have a 3-day weekend to get some things done. I was heading to Lewiston on Saturday to get my hair cut and go to Wal-Mart! (By the way, the opened a SUPER CENTER in Clarkston and it is amazing!) Anyway, I was getting my hair done, relaxing, enjoying myself. I didn’t hear my phone make any noises because it was in my purse and I didn’t want to be disturbed! When I was done with my hair, I was looking for some new church pants for Justin! (By the way, does anybody know where I can get 38 or 40 in length? It seems that the “Big & Tall” section is for BIG people only. Justin doesn’t need 50x 30! He needs LONG!! I don’t think that they exist!) Anyway, I was grabbing my phone to call him and opened up a text message with this on it…

I know pretty gruesome, sorry!! It’s one or our horses that has a gigantic cut on its leg. In a frantic, I hurried and called Justin to find out what was going on? He was on the way to a vet who graciously agreed to see him in his time of need! The vet cut the piece of dead skin off and told us to keep it out of the sun and no flies!! He gave us some heavy duty fly repellent (it looks like the sunscreen we had to put on Freckles nose) to put on it. We have to wash it twice a day. We had to make a pen in a barn for him so it wouldn’t get sunburned! It gets stiff when he’s in there, but as soon as he starts walking on it, it gets better. He’s been trying to trot on it, and it’s quite funny because he has a nice limp to go with it. The vet said that the scar should be small.

As for me, I believe that my body is trying to fight off a sickness! I have been sneezing like crazy, had a constant head-ache, and been really achy! NO I’M NOT PREGNANT!! I’m sure that’s what some of you are thinking! You can only keep hoping! Justin is going strong with football. They had a home game on Friday. They didn’t do so hot. I guess that they called mercy rule in the 3rd quarter! Sorry boys! Other than that, we had a good Labor Day weekend. Hunting season is starting to open up and bear opened last week. We have been going on horse rides trying to find one. Thankfully, we have good, strong, neighbor boys that will go and help Justin pull the bear out of the canyon if he does get one. The canyon is so steep, that if you should shoot anything, it will rumble and tumble all the way to the bottom!!
