I seem to struggle to find balance in most areas of my life. I don’t know if that’s true of many of you, or not. I feel like even when I find a nice balance, I don’t keep it long. LOL
In regards to training, I find myself all overwhelmed by Dare’s jump training right now. I really don’t think it would be an exaggeration to say that it’s almost all consuming at times. I think it was Sara that commented that a lot of her readers were up much later than she stays up the other day. Well, I can tell you that I was probably up way past my normal bedtime watching and rewatching and rewatching video of Dare jumping. (And in between, reading other people’s blogs). Before I turn this into a novel about jump training, I’m going to move along. I’ll post more on the details of Dare’s jump work and what’s going on with it on her blog.
As far as achieving a balance with the boarding kennel…My husband was going to look into gates for me, but he hasn’t gotten around to it yet. I have tried to find a little balance even without my plan of making things more formal with the gate by just telling people that pick up times are earlier than I have let them be in the past. Believe it or not, even with all the annoyance it causes me to wait around for people to show up, or worse yet to just have them show up unannounced at odd hours, I still find it nearly impossible to actually set boundaries for them. Too bad a barcode scanner wasn’t the answer to my problems. I’d buy one today.
I haven’t found any balance with the schoolwork yet either. I’m ready to just give up completely on it. I keep thinking if I can’t find time to devote to the schooling, how will I find time to do the work from home, even if I was one of the few people that pass their certification?
Well, that’s enough ranting for tonight. Maybe I’ll try to get to bed before midnight and watch jump videos with fresh eyes in the morning. What a thought! LOL
I hope you get some sleep tonight! Sometimes it all seems too much doesn’t it! But with fresh eyes tomorrow things might seem more manageable. And Dare won’t care if you only watch those videos twice rather than over and over – she’ll still love you if you’re not the perfect trainer!

Right now I have no balance. Im exhusted all the time. Working and the spending 5 hours driving and getting Miley’s rehab it killing me. Do you have an open/closed sign on your door? Maybe that would help. Diana
Diana, I know the feeling. Ugh! I hope Miley’s rehab is going better.
A sign on the door of the kennel or the house. It doesn’t really matter, people around here watch and know your vehicles and will stop and say, oh I knew you were home because of the vehicles, or they’ll say, I knew you were still up because you still had a light on in the house. People are bizarre.
