How could someone harm an innocent baby???

Someone has to be just sick in the head to do any harm,or kill a innocent baby!Even though,it is quite common for a parent to shake an infant over frustration, as anger can take over. I would never do such things!When I feel frustrated if Layla's having a spazzing crying moment,I just set her in her crib,and give myself 10minutes to regain myself,and then try again to help her.But unfortunately,a newborn baby has died due to a mother losing her patience.

''A mother in Jacksonville,Florida, has pleaded guilty for shaking her baby to death after it wouldnt stop crying, and interrupted her farmville game.
Alexandra V. Tobias,22,was arrested in January for the death of her 3 month old baby, Dylan Lee Edmondson.Tobias pleaded guilty today to second degree murder, which is punishable by a sentence for life in prison. Her lawyers believe that she will get 25-50 years.Her sentence will be given in December.
She said she shook the baby because his crying was interrupting her farmville game and the baby may have hit his head on the computer while shaking him.''

This is one of the saddest news I have heard recently. This earth holds too much evil-beings.

This Week & Things on my mind...

It's been bit of a rough week... Mike got into a car accident the other morning, on his way to work. Was not his fault though, was cars behind him that ran into him. Someone was speeding and just slammed into a car,and that car hit another in front of it,and that one happened to crash into Mike. The damage isn't as awful as I had expected it to be, but it was still a hard hit and hurt Mike a bit.But he is okay!That's what is important, that no one got seriously injured.
Also...earlier in the week,Suki had passed away.He was the family dog at my parents place.He was only about 7yrs old.. =( Born May 10th,2004 and Passed peacefully October 25th,2010.

I went to the movies the other night with my friends, Ang and Amanda!We seen Secretariat!Great horse movie!!Sure got me in the mood to race my horses against people at the barn!!ha ha! Maybe we will do that someday. That horse sure was a legend!

...hmm..something else that's on my mind,is how much it bothers me and how very rude it is for people who can speak a different language in front of you, and then no one will let you know what was said!This is something that Mike's parents do way too often, and I know they talk like that when it's something they don't want me to hear. It is just as bad if someone were to whisper something to another person, right in front of others. I just really really hate that. Makes me mad and puts me in a bitter mood. It is one thing to speak your langauge, but it's another when it's talking smack about someone right in front of them and in their own home, thinking they dont know. Well, Im not stupid!As I can sense body langauge and voice tone, sometimes that says more than words. But yeah,I just find it very ignorant. So why would I be nice and all happy to someone who does that?... =/ ugh... I guess they have a problem if I tell Mike not to do something, or to do something. Well, I find it dont concern them. I told Mike to not leave his change on the floors or random tables, because Layla could eventually get to it and put it in her mouth,choke or something!They may think Im too paranoid,but someone's got to look out for her,as small things like that count too.Protective mother I am.So what.

So I have been getting really amazing grades on my course so far!! =D woohoo!And I took this quiz on facebook,'How Canadian Are You?'' and YES!I AM 100% CANADIAN! =D

Oooo,and Layla got to meet her Great Great Grandma!! =) Thats one thing Im glad for having a baby young, because family of mine get to meet the little one I bring into the world. =) It's unfortunate my parents can't be happy and enjoy family.. I sure loved my families big get togethers!!Like the BBQs in the backyard at my grandparents house,which is now my aunt and uncles house!Or the huge thanksgiving or Christmas dinners!And we had so much fun with our cousins. My mom had always dressed my sisters and I so nicely!Just tooo cute!When I look back on things, yes, there were rough patches, BUT there were also some really great times with the family. I wish I could make things better, although I just doubt my dad will forgive... My dad and I are quite alike personality wise,I get reminded quite often by my sisters.. =P Piss me off,then goood luck.. same goes with my dad!It's been in the back of my mind to just go over to his house and just talk things out!I dont blame him in a sense.Sure,maybe things were taken bit too far at times,but whats done is done. Cant change it, can only move on from it. Me and Tanya miss our parents a lot. No matter what, no one can replace my mom and dad. They will always be my parents. Regardless.

Soo... my horses are doing great!Cinnamon and Laudie are the best ^_^ I LOVE having them back @ Zisters barn!!They seem happiest there also.If I were to ever have enough money to live on a farm again,I would only do hobby farm,just for a few horses of my own,and maybe allow some friends horses,pay real cheap board.So then have people I know and Like, to ride with and whatnot. And it'd have to be close to KW. As KW is where I belong,same goes for my horses. =)
The horses are being put into stalls again, so now we have to muck stalls daily. But me and Ang take turns,and my coboarders may help when they can too. I sure dont mind mucking a couple stalls!C'mon,it's apart of the horse stuff! =P

Alrighty then, I should get more of a start to my day!Need to shower yet, and go for a walk with Layla and the doggies, return and rent movie at blockbuster,and get some more baby porage for Layla,and maybe stop into the dollar store!And have to do some school work!Then mucking stalls tonight... I dont want to pull an all nighter for school work this week.. I may just hand it in late this time... Sure teacher wont mind that much..

Staying Focussed...

A hard thing to do,is keeping myself focussed on school.. This has always been a weakness of mine. I get great grades, although I just don't like doing the work and procrastinate often, putting me under more stress and time pressure to get assignments completed. It's a bad habit!
It is more challenging when I have to take care of Layla and have chores and other things to get done.. Well I better continue at it... Time to stay focussed!Two more assignments to get done tonight,plus a test..oh dear..Well at least I got Layla to bed already,and gave her a feed and bath and read her a book. =)

Another fun weekend

This weekend was quite fun!Yesterday I went on a trail ride with my two friends,Angi and Amanda. It had been a long time since us 3 had rode together.Then, today I met up with another two girl friends of mine who I hadnt rode with in a while, Katie and Sarah. I rode on Cinnamon, double, with Katie, while Sarah rode Laudie. I also had Barley & Nikki at the barn, along with Mike & Layla of course =) Barley followed us for the ride. We only rode around the fields, but it was still fun!Barley startlled Cinny when he ran out of a bush, so it was a crazy moment, as I tried to stay on her,since I was sitting on her butt!haha!But no one fell off or got hurt.It was more of a laugh! Katie brought out her really nice camera!Took lovely photos of my little family.
I love how I have been going to see the horses a lot more recently =)
Well... I guess I should get to doing my homework now.. Im a bit behind on my assignments..

Love Autum!

It has been an amazing autum so far!The weather is just perfect,the changing colours on the trees is so beautiful!It's my favourite season of the year!Perfect for going to the barn and riding, as there's not so many bugs like in the summer time!I find I ride the least amount in the summer and the most in fall and winter time!I have been enjoying my horses again, and they are doing so well at the barn I have them at.It's my favourite barn to be at!I have gone on so many trail rides recently!It had been soo long since I had been able to enjoy riding,since I was pregnant.I don't want to get pregnant for a very long time,or at all actually... I want to enjoy the horses more,and I'm content with just my baby Layla.

Finally,I go out on trails and Cinny aint lame afterwards!!This other barn I had her at,there was just way too many rocks and stones that Cinny would get bruised feet and was pure lame. :( So she is doing amazing now.I think they are really happy to be back at this farm too.I also got to go on a ride,just me and Cinnamon!!It had been like,a REALLY long time since I had done that!!!I feel like it's ''old times'' again, how Im at the barn quite often,riding a lot!Enjoying the horses to the fullest!As much as I liked the farm in Niagara,I couldn't enjoy my horses as much,since everything became about money and horses were starting to become just money and business,not enjoyment and a passion... I can even see that Im happier now,the more I spend time with the horses, the higher my spirits.

I took my uncle and cousin out over the long weekend :) I led my cousin around on Laudie,while my uncle rode Cinny. They had a lot of fun! ^_^ I also got to ride lots too!This long weekend, was really fun. I enjoyed it anyways!! On Saturday I went out on a group trail ride, and then at night I had gone out to party at a couple night clubs. And then Sunday morning I took my uncle and cousin to ride, and then I rode again that day too.Then Monday Mike and I made turkey dinner and had family over, and enjoyed the feast!! Then ended up just me,Mike and his brother watching movies. I am so tired out though!haha!It was a lot of fun! =) I'm just so happy!!

Happy as can be

Things have been going very well lately =)

Mike has been a lot of help too!Ive been cooking great meals,and we both do our part on chores and caring for Layla!

Today me,Layla, and my sister went to our grandparents for lunch. Always love my grandma's cooking! It was so nice to see them! My grandpa goes for surgery this friday, I hope it goes smoothly and he recovers well. They may be staying in Canada this winter, which the family is all quite excited about, as they go to Florida like every winter! So it'd be nice to have them here over christmas time too! But I know my grandparents enjoy going travelling together, enjoying their lives to the fullest. I would do the same!We also got a few pictures taken,with them and Layla.That too made me very happy!As I would like Layla to have pictures to look back on,of family and when she was little!

I have been so busy recently, just having a social life I guess, meaning less time put in on house chores and school... ah well, so what, I let go a little bit, having some fun!But I needed to just relax and not worry about things all the time.

This weekend is thanksgiving!It should be fun! =)

I like how Mike has found a hobby or activity of his own. He plays hockey once a week,Sunday afternoons, and I go riding on Sunday mornings, and sometimes on Saturdays too.. But we try and have Saturdays to spend together mostly. And Sundays do our own thing.

Well,I really must get to chores now.. I have to prepare dinner,vaccum,do laundry,and take the dogs out..
