The kids and I ventured to Somerset yesterday to see Chris' dad in the hospital. He had reconstructive surgery on his foot. He was in good spirits while we were there. I guess partly because of the medicine he is on and because the kids were there. We took Chris' mom out with us to eat at Golden Corral. The boys love to eat there and of course, I do too!
Chris will be back home today. He won both races but the first one they took down and gave him 6th. They said his horse cut into the paths of other horses. He was really upset about it. Chris said the video couldn't prove that his horse did anything to the other horses so it shouldn't have been put back. That was about $5,000 down the drain. The other horse did great. It won by about 9 links.
Well, my summer vacation is ending. I only have 2 free days from now until school starts. I'm feeling a little blaaaa about it. I went to school and worked the other day getting prepared for my 24 kids and now the 3rd grade is going to be split into 2 classes. I have to go back and take down the charts and things with those kids' names that I don't have. I am glad it is split but I wish I would have known sooner. I feel like I did a lot of work for nothing. I guess Ms. Audra (the other 3rd grade teacher) will benefit. She can have all the things I've done if she wants them.
