I don't get to ride much, maybe once a month if I'm lucky, and I don't work at all. I do have 5 kids, a large home, farm animals, etc. By the time I'm finished cleaning, laundry, feeding, etc, there's usually no time to ride. I got to ride yesterday, with ShakeNJake, but I got no work done. I have a buttload of laundry today since I didn't do any yesterday. I did have a wonderful time, though!!! It was worth it!!!
Eventually I plan to work from home but it will probably be another 2 years before I'm set up.I know when I have my own place it will be easier but lately once I'm home it's hard to get back in gear when I'm ready to wind down. I thought about when the time was right, while we are in the honeymoon stage of asking my new boss if I could come in early two days a week or even riding at daybreak but I'm just not a morning person. If I had a lighted arena I'd be riding at midnight:')
With early evenings I had dropped back to a lesson during the week and then riding on weekend (I love weekends) but my trainer says it isn't enough and right now I need to be riding 3-4 times a week with preferably 2 lessons a week instead of one. She understands my time limits but just tells me that do what I can but I need to be riding more.
