Hi Darla!

Ah, 4H..... I'm hoping my daughter takes to gaming events because
this showy stuff is going to kill me, I think!!!! I don't know if
I'm going to make a very good 4H show mom!!! And I hate not knowing
what I'm doing - it makes me very uneasy. Right now there's so much
to absorb that it's kind of freaking me out. My husband says I need
to relax and enjoy it, but it's hard right now because my daughter
is looking at me like I'm the one who knows what's going on! My
horse experience this far has all been informal, home-type fun
stuff. Boy am I getting an education!
