Being an Adult amateur, a wife, a Business Owner, a Vet, and a Petmom....

I have recently struggled with life and the big serving of "stuff" it has but on my plate right now. No bad news, no hard times, nothing like that just me trying to be all the things all at once!

Cooper with his "stuff" (Not as hard as mom's stuff)

 I recently saw a friend blog about the same thing and it helps to know that we are all in it together.  One might think that having your office at home might be super convenient and that its great being able to go to work in your PJ's.  Not really the case to argue the other side you never really get away from your work when you are home.  I never feel like I am done with work. I am currently weeks behind in paperwork and will be soon finding a way to outsource that part of my job.  Also when my truck isn't clean, that isn't stocked or I have run out of blank for the millionth time, I can only blame myself.  That coupled with the 12 days I spend on call in a row with 2 nights off it gets to be a wearing job.  Don't get me wrong I love days when I get to do this.....

But all in all it is the harsh reality of the job that I do love but that does get hard some times.

As far as being an adult amateur that wants to compete- yea mom now I really know how hard it is for you. Having a life that doesn't slow down just because you are at that show- sacrificing having a nice clean house because you need to ride before the show. Yup all of those are now real struggles. (PS Ladies if you don't have a house cleaner and you work full time. Please go get yourself one- it is saving my marriage!)

A pet mom- as I am writing this I have a white cat helping me.  I realize she is telling me she is being neglected because the only other time I sit down and snuggle with her is bed time.

A wife- I have the best most understanding and caring husband in the world.  I don't know how I would get through my life without him.  My lifestyle is not an easy one to live with but when I get super overwhelmed he helps and I often come home to the house cleaned and dinner on the table. I do feel guilty though when I can't be the wife I want to be along with the tons of other hats I want to wear.

That said ladies (and gents) be all that you can be - be all that you want to be but remember sometimes you just need to sit and figure out if being all of those things at the same time is necessary. Don't strain yourself trying to be the best at everything be yourself and be happy!
