Flip the Grease

It is funny how God knows what we need. Today I had to drop off Grace, my daughter, at school. She had to be there at 9. My riding schedule is about to change because the weather and school is different. Thankfully Grace only goes to a Pre-K program that is only twice a week. On my way home I ran by to pick up Talicia so we could go home and start timing maneuvers that I have to do. All my classes in the Mustang Makeover are timed and my freestyle is too. I have to know how long it will all take me to finish so that I know what to do and not to do. As I walked up her steps I could see that the dogs had a hay day with her trash she had set outside. Talicia's jaw dropped. She went inside to the kitchen and I followed. We then realized that they had flipped over a bunch of stuff there too. It was crazy!! The worst part was the dogs had knocked over a shelf and flipped a big can of old grease on to the floor. It was everywhere. So being the food friend that I am I quietly stood there and chatted with her while she picked it all back up. LOL! Mainly because I am to sore to do anything else. Needless to say after cleaning up it was too hot to go and ride. I was a little upset but we came home and I was able to start figuring out what I need to pack and do before I leave. When you are packing for you and your horse there is lots to remember. Plus tons of things that have to be done before I leave. So all day I ran errands to prepare. Then came home and had a tack cleaning party. That consisted of Talicia quietly sitting and watching me oil my tack. Then tonight my plan was to ride Spade in the open ride night but he hasn't been doing well under the lights. Just as I was about to go get him Grace asked to ride her horse. Really?? But I couldn't tell her no again. She always wants to ride and I rarely have time. So I gave Spade the night off and let Gracie ride Mac. I have to say I am glad I did. Grace started loping her pony for the first time tonight. I was so super proud. Laying here in bed after a long day I relaxed that I really needed some rest and so did Spade. It amazes me that they are so tolerant to ride as much as I have. So it made me think, God knows what we need way better then us. Otherwise he wouldn't have let those dogs flip the grease. ;-)
