Back from lincoln and have a slow day at work so I thought I would blog for a second. Life has been a bit hectic lately. Trying to run to get back in shape and to loose weight and trying to spend equal time with dog/baby/husband/house. Not doing so hot. Dogs are getting pretty much 0 amount of my time with the house right behind them. I even had to stop sleeping with them because they had started waking me up at 4 am to convince me that they needed to eat/go out and andrew is now sleeping till at least 6 am if not later. Hubby is sleeping up stairs with them while andrew is sick and I am sleeping in guest room with andrew with the door shut and the humidifier on high. Stella and deuce are not impressed and I do miss them but it has been kind of nice having a whole bed to myself. Andrew is sick again. This marks the second or third cold he has had and it just started to get cold outside. I attribute that to daycare and the myriad of germs that come and go. In just a few weeks though, andrew will be the only one there but I am sure she will fill back up quickly. I have a feeling the little girl that is in kindergarten is bringing in the fun stuff in the afternoon. I am hoping this means that he will have a stellar immune system when he is older. My plans are to enroll him in preschool when he is 3 but may go earlier. According to my mom, I was a sickly child after I started preschool so maybe we have started andrew early and he will be done with sickness by the time we start school.
Anyway, back to lincoln. Had a great weekend. We had several one bar runs. One of my aussie friends taped some of my runs and I am glad, because deuce isn't normally a bar dog. The surface was okay, not the best but certainly not even close the worst. I did have him worked on saturday after he crashed the double but she couldn't find any issues. He was taking off early for jumps all weekend and I have NO clue what that means. Is that something I am doing? Two bars were either before or after fronts so maybe so. One bar it looked like he was stuck in some loose dirt and couldn't get off the ground correctly. That bar commonly came down for alot of teams so not too worried about that one. We did finally have one run that equaled a Q but again he hit a bar and it luckily went back into the jump cups instead of on the ground. He was running really well and I was not in reactive handler mode. I was very pleased with the weekend, despite the bars. We have two more shows on dirt coming up this month so I will make sure to get my trainer to watch him just in case. I really like having someone tape me. All of his runs felt so smooth yet as I watch them, I see me bending over, not getting into position quick enough and flailing about with my arms. I really need to work on this. I look very uncoordinated and icky. Maybe I can blame this on the pregnancy too?
