Ok so everybody is giving me grief for not keeping my blog updated. So here you go. I now have 3 jobs I work at Pulaski Memorial Hospital, Whispering Pines, and Indiana Veterans Home. I will work PRN at all of them hoping between all of them to add up to a regular full time job, but by doing prn you get paid more and have more freedom to choose your hours, so I can continue to homeschool the kids. Things have been pretty crazy around here lately with me orientating at all 3 facilities and this being our fair week and trying to sell a horse and also picking up another horse in Chicago there hasnt been alot of down time around here. I dont know if you all remember back in February when I was scammed out of the horse I was buying and had been making payments on for over a year, well the women was never able to pay up, so her solution was to give me this mare which is another Friesian Sport Horse which is what I wanted in the first place but the mare is in foal to a pretty impressive Warmblood stallion, but now this presents me with another set of problems, now I need to figure out how to construct a foaling stall before March. So actually in the end I got more than what she actually owed me back,...........providing everything goes well with the baby and delivery and that the baby sells fairly quickly, the actual foal will be worth at the minimum $5000-8000 according to the stallions hx. and books. so we will see. I intend to actually include the gestational process and delivery in our homeschooling this year, may as well take advantage of it and make it a learning experience for the kids. Dalton did well in his drivers training, now all he has to do is finish out his driving times and wait to get his liscence. Cant believe my babies are growing up. Makes me sad. The girls really did well last night at the contesting show at fair, they absolutely love barrel racing etc. and their horses love it too. We will starting school up here again soon, I have to say I am not looking forward to it, but has to be done. Dalton and his girlfriend went to Redbud a couple weeks ago and they did great, I wasnt sure how Dalton would do with it being his first time with that many fast people but I am very proud of him. Its hard to believe he will be 16 here soon.  Kenzie goes back to school on the 10th, she is so ready , I really thought this summer was going to be hard with her home because of her age and her type A personality, but it has actually been great I am going to miss her alot, but I know she is getting the best education she can get , the Academy is amazing.  So for now we are going to finish out Daltons race season, start school and attend at least one more horse show before fall gets here. So there you have it. The insanity of the Packards lives on LOL I added a picture of Kenzie from her prom this last year.
