Too Tired

 I had a tough time getting going this morning. The transport company arrived around 11:30 pm and by 11:45 he was pulling back out.  Quiet Dreamer was excellent while the truck driver unloaded 3 horses watching and curious about those different horses. The last one unloaded was a huge 3 year old Clydesdale stud. When the trailer was ready I walked her over to the trailer, stepped in but just then the driver asked me to wait as he wanted to get pictures of her before loading.  She stood very well for the pictures then when I asked her to step into the trailer, she hesitated, it was much taller than the one we had been practicing on and she wasn't quite sure how to get her legs up that high. I asked the driver to just give her a little push and told him, she won't kick. He did and she jumped right in then followed all the way up to the front of the 6 horse trailer and stood quietly while the driver took her halter off. The picture below is before the 3 horses were loaded back up.

The horses were loaded back up and they were on their way.

I turned out the lights and headed back down to the house and was in bed by midnight. When the coffee maker went off at 5:00 am it really was hard to get out of bed. After getting Mark's breakfast I ran up to the barn, shut the big doors and moved Onyx and Sofia back into the indoor arena before heading over to mom's. Joan spent the night last night and mom had a rough night. She just couldn't get comfortable. She didn't want to take anything and this morning her mind was much clearer but she was really tired. She does not like the drugs that cloud the mind and give her crazy dreams so we will not be using those again. Today was my day to stay from 7:00 am to 5:30 pm except Ruth was taking my place until I could get home from Bereans. If you would like to read about our morning there click HERE. We didn't have a lot of mail and didn't stay for the treat after the work was finished so we could make it back to mom's by 11:00 am. The house was full of people when we arrived. Anna and Jessica were there doing a deep clean on the house. They started the laundry but the washer was leaking so those two girls took the washer apart and were fixing it when Aunt Jinnie walked in. She was marveling about those cleaning ladies that also repair appliances.  The aid showed up a bit later and mom got her bath and her hair washed. Karin and Ruth were here just getting mom ready to go out on the deck. Faith and Berlica arrived so they had plenty of help with that job.

Success!

Mom didn't want to stay out long but we were really thankful for another beautiful day. After bringing her back inside Aunt Jinnie spent some time brushing mom's hair.

Mom didn't have a very good day. She was just too tired to want to do any therapy. She was even too tired to eat much, we even bribed her with ice cream but just ate a few small bites of that. Joan is staying with her this evening and Ruth is going to spend the night tonight. We are hoping she will have a better night so she feels better tomorrow. I left mom's at 5:40 pm made us some dinner, took care of the weanlings and will be heading to bed soon.
