Bo was to turn in the money for the school fundraiser on Monday. Well, apparantly he is short $8.25 Bo states to me that "I" must have underpaid, and would I give him the money. I had wrote a check, and I knew that I had paid the correct total. Apparently he can not have his award or pizza party with being short on funds.
Well, I told him the fundraiser money was his responsibility and that if he was short, that HE would have to dig in his own pockets for it. I told him that I was sorry that he must have made an adding error or didn't collect from someone, and did he double check his math and keep track of who paid what. Of course not.....
So, again, I am not winning the "mother of the year" award, but is there a better way to learn how to be responsible than paying out of your own pocket for mistakes??

The Clinic was Great!
The clinic was great and I learned alot of different ways to actually USE the crap floating around in my head. Taking the sidepass and pivot and making lots of different manuevers and excercises out of them to get more out of the performance of our horses. It was definitely worth going to.
Even with the weather crap, and nothing is dry - except the riding arena (thank god), we've been busy riding as much as possible. Charisma came home from Jessica Cole's on Saturday. She's very fit and ready to go. I'm very happy with the work that was done with her, and she's in a great place to continue her education.
Gus is riding awesome. His lope has improved at least 25% since the clinic. I'm very excited about this year with him. Randy will keep some serious "butt", including mine I'm sure.
Kara had her first "official" riding lesson at Jessica Coles on Saturday. Within 10 minutes she was posting on the lunge line. What a hoot! The plan is to continue having her go to Jessica's to ride at least 1x per week until our schedules get too crazy. She only rode for about 15 mins on Saturday, but she is only 6! Kara is already starting to practice for Showmanship fo rthis year, and was leading Gus around yesterday. Nervous Nelly Mom was right alongside her to watch out for her feet - which look alot smaller than Gus's shod hooves. I had been working with Gus all winter to teach him to lead with his head "low" to accomodate Kara's height, and it really worked, and I my heart flutters to watch.
Randy has been busy building the new tackroom in the barn. And getting estimates from excavators for doing the site for the indoor arena. The stump (ha ha) in the plan is all the trees that will have to be removed....sigh.... Even though I KNOW my dad planted all those when he was young, there isn't much options. We can't exactly leave one in the middle....
