It's probably going to be a quiet week over here. My mom had surgery last Tuesday so caring for her ate up several evenings of barn time.
 |
| We shopped waiting for scripts to be filled! |
 |
| The dachshunds were... helping.... |
We've also entered the holiday season where DH and I try to juggle seeing multiple sets of family (the joys of both coming from divorced homes where the parents have almost all remarried). We're booked up basically every weekend between now and the middle of January!
 |
| Early Thanksgiving celebration this weekend. |
It's also full dark when I get home, so nothing goes on with Cinna except feeding her and the occasional weekend workout. And I'm not making it out to see Ruby much, although every time I do she's foot perfect (god bless her).
 |
| Oh my 5 y/o has had almost 2 weeks off? Lets try bareback bridleless W/T/C <3 |
 |
| I did manage to ride with tack too. |
We're also frantically trying to prep for our vacation next month -- our first ever that isn't planned around someone's wedding or family event.
 |
| It'll be hard to leave the rugrats! |
And casting some gloom over the week is the fact that Rufus, our oldest dachshund, is NQR. DH is taking him up to the vet today so hopefully it's nothing too serious.
 |
| Rufus is always front and center when snuggling is on the agenda. |
Hopefully things even out because I do have some fun things to write about, including a big tack review, an exciting book review, an ITBF custom bonnet arrival, and TWO Riding Warehouse orders! The stress shopping is real, ya'll. Hopefully with the long weekend I can knock out some riding and media!
Sorry to hear about Rufus -- I hope he feels better soon! And the holidays are always a busy time (good busy though!)
ReplyDeleteThank you! And yes, holidays = mania
Deleteevery year and yet it still catches me off guard.
That is quite a pile of wiener dogs!
ReplyDeleteWe refer to them as a "gaggle"! 😎
Deletehope you guys have a great holiday season! i know all about the juggling multiple families thing, for basically the same reasons (plus all my extended families are giant too haha)
ReplyDeleteLike on one hand, you're doubly as blessed because MOAR family... But on the other hand, not enough time! Haha.
DeleteI went far far away from family, so now I have an excuse for only seeing a limited number of them at holiday times.
ReplyDeleteThere are times that seems like a solid plan..... Haha. At least with DH working odd shifts, that's an excuse about 80% of the time. However, this year Christmas falls on his day off and I can't decide if that's good or bad....
DeleteLife can get very busy. I hope that your mom heals quickly. I hear you on the multiple family issues. You can't make everyone happy!
ReplyDeleteShe's doing very well thankfully! Just needed some monitoring post-surgery while she was on super strong pain pills haha :)
