Big Families

I have a big family. I am single with no real kids. But, there are 9 mouths to feed and care for. There is always something wrong. This week has been rough. Prissy is still very stocked up. The swelling is going down in the knee but is spreading. She felt good enough after her hydro and linament to trot away. Crazy girl.

Scruffy had a rough day. He began his second round of heartworm treatment today. The first six hours were bad. He's sleeping, now. Last shot in the morning. I hate watching him in pain and feeling bad. He needs it.

I am resting well this summer. Recoup-ing. Getting ready for the next school year. I have been unable to relax the last few days. My superiors have seen fit to assign me to teach a class WAY outside my comfort zone. The class is completely bogus and until recently was an extracurricular activity. How did I get stuck with this? It requires after school practices and competitions away. Where will I find the time or energy? I am already committed. A decision will be made next week. Why don't they understand? I am alone here. I don't have a family to take care of so I must have plenty of spare time, right? But, that's the point. I have to do it all. There's no spouse, no extended family. What did I do for these guys to throw this at me?
