Neeeeigh

Well that was a hefty couple of weeks. Her strep throat and being home really threw me off. We have not recovered. Very stressful around here. I am also going through some serious healing -- that life-changing transformation people go through after they've been through crap. I've been in a haze for six months straight. Many think it could be post-traumatic stress from God knows what incident this summer. I haven't even been able to sleep properly.

However, in this life-transforming process, Magic is happening. I actually felt magic people! We found a place, the perfect place that only the universe could have made happen. It is so far away from anywhere I was even looking. In fact, it was in the 'no way, not living there' zone. However, turns out this is exactly where I want to be. We are now living in a cozy little house on a horse farm; it is pet-friendly with a gigantic yard, outdoor pool, epic storage space, kids all around, phenominal owners and FIVE HORSES!

It was magic seeing Little One (who I will now refer to as 'Horse Girl') with those horses. Couldn't get her away from them. As I was chatting away with the landlady, but we both stopped when we realized Horse Girl was no longer with us -- she was back at the horses. Arms around the biggest ones head giving it a bear hug and what looked like blowing a raspberry. The landlady made a deal with Horse Girl: if she will work hard on the farm closing all the gates and helping to scoop poop three times per week, she will, in turn, be 'trained' as a farmhand to learn everything she needs to know about owning horses. Because... Get this. Now she wants her own horse!
