Frenchie, My Daughter's Horse

This is my daughter's horse, Frenchie. She's been with her for several years now, and my daughter has really spent alot of time with her in training. They are certainly a team. My daughter will be going to the Navy soon, and miss Frenchie will have to enjoy some of our grandchildren and friends during the time she's gone. I pray that my daughter will get stationed somewhere that she will be able to take her there so that she can still ride her and give her the attention that she is so used to getting, but I just don't know at this time, what's going to happen next. High school is over with and although my darling daughter works part time, she still spends a great deal of time with her horse. Frenchie has been a wonderful addition to our family because she has given  my daughter a great deal of learning experience, not to mention, kept her quite busy.  Just wanted to post this pic so you all could take a look at how beautiful she is !

Finding Scrubs For A Great Job

For a very long time, my darling daughter wanted to be a veterinarian. and she wanted it for a very long time...so, when she was old enough, I asked her to get a job working around vets to see if it was still something that she was wanting to do in life...and she did. She got a job as  a pet nurse assistant. .The  job was a great job, but it  required  her to wear a uniform. We had to rush out and buy it right away.  We had a hard time finding the right size and color that they required.  I wished I would have known about a place that I found recently online.
http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/categories/Scrubs/Scrubs-for-Women/, which,  also carry scrubs for men.
 She found that she really enjoyed having to dress for her job, but after working there for a great while, decided that she wanted to do other things in her life. It's good to know that when she gets out of the Navy, and decides to have a civilian career doing something with health, she can find her the right scrubs through this site.

My Daughter's Graduation Suprize...Her Dad Showed Up To Her Graduation

Graduation came and went quickly. I was such a proud mother watching her darling daughter sit anxiously in the seating area, waiting for her name to be called to go up and get the handshake and diploma. It was held outside, so it was humid, hot and extremely packed to the max. I kept looking to see if my ex, her father, would show up to see our daughter walk across the stage....no sign of him. ..Then, all of a sudden, he showed up. He didn't come alone, but I was so happy that he decided to come and see her. He walked on the bleachers out in front and since I had told him where she'd be sitting, he stopped right in front of where she was.  She didn't see him at first, until she glanced up at where I was along with her other brothers and sisters and families and we all started to point him out to her. She saw him, and they waved at each other. I honestly wanted to cry, but didn't. I knew that would make her night by him showing up. He stayed only long enough to see her walk, come back to her seated isle, gave us a present that he brought for her, and left. Not long, but just long enough. I was very happy for my daughter, that her dad decided to show up.

Teens And Credit Cards, Protection From Identity Theft

Teens need to learn before they enter the adult world about credit, but not just getting credit...but about understanding how it works. Having credit can be fun, but they must also learn about keeping that credit in good-standing. How do you help them once they've left home, like going away to college for instance? I have found a website called  Identityhawk which offers help for those with credit and identity theft protection.
There are people out there, who like to take advantage of ones who don't know about credit. This is when you need  some sort of  identity theft protection. Not only having new credit and learning about how to keep it paid on time, but to protect themselves from fraud and taking steps to reduce the risks of leaving your identity where it's not protected. My darling daughter will not be going to college, as stated in previous posts, but will be going into the service. She will have to learn how to manage her own credit. I want her to be able to have credit, and build it to the point that she will be able to buy herself a car, or in the future, a home and know that her credit rating is good. Protection from identity theft is a very good thing to help your teens learn as they grow into adulthood.
