Off To A Great Start

     So, I started my blog in February and now it's April, and this is my second post already!  I'm doing great, right?  What WAS all that stuff I said in the first post, about "making time" for what you love?  My problem is, I love doing too many things, and some of them take a great deal of time.  Example:  I love riding my horses (yes, that word is plural, which only complicates the whole time-issue-thingy).  So, along with RIDING goes stall-mucking, horse-moving (whereby you rotate horses through stalls and pastures to give them optimum environment), injury-treating (you don't want to KNOW everything I've had to treat for in the last year--did you know Desitin is NOT just for a baby's behind?), feeding, tack and barn cleaning--oh, the list just goes on and on.
     Maybe (just maybe) because of my schedule, I've been really tired lately, and I realized today I've started to motivate myself with food.  Can't wait to see where this ends up (in that Desitin place?)  A typical day goes like this:  I start my morning outside doing chores for up to an hour or more, and am famished when I get inside, so breakfast is in order.  I make it pretty well through helping Kaela with schoolwork throughout the morning, but by noon my energy is dipping.  Time to go ride?  I need a bean burrito and a latte first.  Stalls need cleaned?  Oooo, graham crackers and Nutella with a chocolate truffle latte sure sounds good.  Goat pen needs raked?  First I need a HUGE salad with LOTS of green garlic-stuffed olives, and a caramel latte.  Afternoon feeding time?  "Hey, Kaela, while you're at it, make me a couple of those peanut-butter celeries" and a latte.
     I am hopeful that once the weather decides to stay sunny and warm I'll find my energy again.  For now, I sit gazing out at the clouds and realize it's time to go move and feed horses, chickens and goats.  As soon as I finish my caramel latte.
