I hate small children.
I was working with a group of six of them all day today. Since it was at the stable, there were even more rules for them to break. I hate to see myself turn into the "bad guy" ("No running, guys!", "Get off of that!", etc...), but it was really necessary. I'm exhausted, though. And quite hungry.
The most memorable character award goes to a six-year-old named Molly, whose half birthday is coming up, and will probably move when she, erm...mates. Yes, that's what she said. I dunno why. I'm all, like, "Oh. Uh, really?" A bit awkward. She also decided that she didn't know what a fist is, so she couldn't pick up dirt clods bigger than one, and had to swing on a gate and spook the horses. -.- Rawr.
I had a lot of fun, even though it was hard. It's kinda cool, being in charge of these guys for most of the day. It reminds me of when I was little, and I always looked up to the "big helper person". Haha. And now that's me.
I was being all like "rawr" all day. I'm not sure how much the kids liked me, but oh well. Had to be done.
Our work load will decrease tomorrow and Wednesday, as the number of kids will go down, but Molly will remain present.
I had a practice ride (do what you'd like, no instructor) on Honey, a really sweet horse with some cantering issues ("No, Honey, I said go around the cone, not ram into it!"). It was a lot of fun. For the first half or so, there was another girl and her instructor, Melissa, in the arena with me. She was jumping, and really good, as expected of Melissa's students. Afterwards, I did a bit of cantering. When it started getting darker, I cooled her down and took her in. When I got back out, it was pretty dark.
I picked up my phone, which I had stuck on a bench before I rode, as it would have fallen out had it been in my pocket. There was a message from Katy; she had called twice now. I listened to it, and called her back. Somewhere in there, I realized that everyone had gone home while I was riding. It's really cool that Shelley trusts me that much.
Right. So she and Alex had talked a bunch. It really sucks, because both she and Corinna like him, and I had said that I'd help Cor with him before I knew that Katy liked him, and now I dunno what to do. Dx
Well, dinner's ready! Gonna go eat!

Love,
Faye

As for me, the time that is usually peaceful and just focused on horses has had other things intruding on it since yesterday. I CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT HIM. HELP.

Sweeping is a very common thing at the stable. It's one of those, "Yes, I know I just swept, but you see that speck of dirt? It shouldn't be there. And I bet if you swept, you'd find more dirt that shouldn't be there!" things. Haha.
Also, the kids have to carry their own saddles. I pick them out, then load the midgets up with a saddle, pad, and girth. One girl asked me what I was going to carry. I laughed. That's the satisfying thing about this job: the kids need to "build muscle". Heh.
