Another CRAZY weekend! Still trying to catch up on laundry! Ugh! Terry is on vacation this week and I will be taking Friday off so we can spend Friday and Sat. together before he goes back to work on Sunday. But guess what? We will be spending it with horses! Funny Huh? Those of you who are into the horses know what this is like! All your vacations are spent around a horse show or something horse related! It makes me sometimes wonder how the "other" side lives. I know my life would be empty with out a horse, but I do wonder and think.....I think about how much money we would have if we didn't have the big truck, trailer, show clothes, tack and just the cost of having horses in general. I wonder what we would do? Travel maybe, probably not as neither Terry nor I are big into being away from hom too long. A couple days and I'm ready to go home! Entertain more as we would probably have a nicer home? I enjoy entertaining, but our home is far from big enough to hold large parties. So maybe that would be something that we would do. I do know I would read more, exercise more (even though working with the horses is excercise) and probably do more with the dogs. Not really sure!
This post seems to be turning into kind of a downer. But that is my mood right at the moment. I am VERY tired after this past weekend of lessons and training horses and a tack swap with Nichole. We also fed horses and watched a friend's dog while they were gone for the weekend. I am at work right now, during a slight lull and decided to post. It is 4:00 ET right now and 1 hour to go here and several hours to go as I head straight to the barn. I know my mood will pick up as I enter and see the 3 Haflinger heads over their doors greeting me when I walk into the barn! Hopefully they all are good tonight and we can get things done and get home before 8:30 or 9 tonight. Keep your fingers crossed for us! :)

We were just talking about his! My thought is how many family friends would we not have met, and how much less entriching our lives really would be if we didn't have horses. I think the key (at least what we are trying to do) is to have a balance between horse life and other life. Of course, the 'balance' part is a bit out of whack for our family, we got engaged around horse shows, got married around horse shows, and I was induced to have our first child on a Monday so that Mike could go to Ohio State Fair to show horses on Friday, and then leave the following Sunday for Indiana State Fair! :)
Just don't get burned out, when you don't want to do it, or it feels like a job, slow up, and get the balance back!
