Changes
Change is good. I keep telling myself this. Kinda of like a mantra. Usually, drastic change is something I avoid at all costs. But small changes I welcome, almost seek out in a certain way. I like variety but in the same sense, I like the familiar. I imagine that the majority of people feel like me. My 12 yo is wanting so badly to attend Football Camp this summer at the University. But, it is a very expensive one, and we are working hard to fit it into our budget. The tuition isint the problem, even if it is a good sized chunk of dough, its the spending money, new equipment, travel to and fro. His father and I are trying hard to make this a reality for him because he is sad about not going to MI for an extended stay this summer with his much loved Aunt J. and her much loved family. Football is one of his greatest loves by all means.........he is one 12 yo who since I can remember, lives, breathes, and plays football and never tires of it.
I really love spring, maybe because I love green, its my favorite color! My new red geraniums survived thier attack from my 2 yo. They look mighty nice decorating my porch and steps. Today is a warm and sunny day, typical Oklahoma weather.........I think I'll go into the garage and dig out our little kiddie wading pool..........

Through the warmth of spring
On horses' wings
I ride through the mid of night
The glory of the flight
As I ride on horses' wings
All too soon disappears the night
As well as spring

Good luck getting your 12 yo to camp. My daughter (12 next month) has informed us she's done with horse camp, done with Girl Scouts too. I hope this isn't the beginning of the decline into the teenage "everything's boring" phase. At least your boy has a passion!
kristy-girls are so complex! My Father said raising girls is the hardest (like my brother was some kind of angel-NOT!)He always complained we were responsible for every gray hair he had, and still does-hes a great dad, I am lucky.
Maybe horse camp was getting a little mundane, same ole same ole, if she likes horses, she might be ready for something more challenging, or more physical involving horses...I learned dressage before I learned how to team rope, so? who knows....12 is a confusing age, not yet a teenager and definately not a kid!
your welcome fixcat, I meant it wholeheartedly too..at one time or another in my life, horses have been my saviour.
My 12 yo loves sports in general, but football is his 'thing' his passio for sure. Hes already met w/ his junior high football coach for next year!! football is a BIG deal down here, we started playing on our schools team in 4th grade. My son's nickname is 'Bos' for Brian Bosworth because when he blocks/tackles, he is like a brick wall, and strong little(maybe not so little!) guy too. It was funny to see some of the other teams players 2 and 3 of them trying to tackle him, they were swinging off his jersey! and last year he had the leagues highest QB sacks avged 2 a game-he made his dad and I proud.
thnx! our practice run went.....kinda well, lol 2 yo's are just too funny!
