Gimme a break -_-

Okay OP, I can't imagine that this happens every day, so I'll assume you had just one really busy day. Seriously though, if you're that busy, why are you...

1)Baking bread?
2)Hanging laundry to dry? (no dryer?)
3)making laundry detergent?
4)cooking your husband breakfast and lunch? (I mean, come on, it isn't the 1950s anymore.)
5)Tending to so many pets...?

The important thing is that you have your excuse.

You know what, you're 100% right. I will not vent again because my day is rough. Working out is not that damn important and i have been trying to make excuses of why i should have time to lift weights.

I single handedly provide 90% of my family's food and by next year it will be 100%. I hang clothes to dry, stitch socks, and make my own laundry detergent. I bake 100% of our bread and pastries and im damn good at it. My dogs are well fed, well exersiced, and well mannered. I have performed surgery on four small aninals without any veterinary knowledge and saved their lives.

I make sure my husband comes home from his physical job and isnt bombarded with more work unless i absolutely have to.

So youre right-a lot of you are.

Working out would be a waste of time that i dont have.

Cool.

So why did you make this thread, anyway?

1)Baking bread? Source of income and because i can bake 6 loaves for $0.71
2)Hanging laundry to dry? (no dryer?) No dryer and it keeps the light bill around $50/month if we dont rrun it or the a/c
3)making laundry detergent? $0.12/500 loads
4)cooking your husband breakfast and lunch? (I mean, come on, it isn't the 1950s anymore.)because i am happy in my gender role and his cooking sucks.
5)Tending to so many pets...? I have dogs and cats. The rest of the 85 animals are food producing livestock.

Look... no one is saying you aren't awesome. But you do need to make some time for yourself. Your husband could help out a lot more than he is. If you are providing that much to the household, then he isn't spending a hell of a lot so he shouldn't have to work so hard so he ought to be able to help... don't you think?

Or you could continue carrying all of this burden and martyring yourself on the internet, and before you get offended, women do have a natural tendency to try to take on everything and excuse themselves for neglecting themselves and call it love. Stop it! It's not healthy!

For all that energy and time that you expense to manage your household, it seems like you could spare some time for yourself.

You know, besides the fact that I think a lot of what you already do is exercise, it is a different set of priorities indeed. All of this you just named is clearly very important to you, and that's fine. I wouldn't do half of that, but I'm not you and I don't know your situation.

I'm just sort of at a loss at why you would start a thread like this, then. As someone else stated, either do an organized workout, or don't. But if you decide you want to, you're going to have to make it a priority over one of the other million things you do.

Nvm: I see you clarified the point of the thread above.

Sorry, I don't have much sympathy for a situation you've chosen to be in.

Give me a break.. Give me a break.. Break me off a piece of that KIT KAT BAR!

OP: The fact remains that there is simply a more efficient way to go about your day. Is this the first time you've had livestock? You can work yourself into the ground if you don't figure it out in a hurry. There is an easier way to do these things...or do you just like telling everyone how much you get done and how busy you are?

BTW, I hope you have the proper medications to deal with sedation and infection prevention on the animals you've done "surgery" on...otherwise it's just cruel.

Eat the chickens ducks and bunnies. 90% of your problems:solved. You're welcome.

I bet most of those have names.. Once you name it, there's no way you can eat it.

False. My cousin's pig, "Tyler", was delicious.

The day i wake up at 4:30 to do anything will be the day i set my house on fire and walk into the horizon.
I am venting. The system works that i have going-i am just worn thin because it seems like every problem has had a way of piling up at once.
I sell the offspring-but a bad hatch set us back 2 months.
Hubby isnt making enough hours at work to finish building our pens (all we need now is plywood) so i have 10 ducklings (being hand raised for breeders), 3 rabbits (being raised for breeders), and 19 chicks (meat birds) in a 10x12 bedroom extension. We should have had it done as soon as they were old enough to be off the heat lamp and hubbys hours got cut so now im scrambling to make everything work. Its one of those deals-if we have the time we have no money but if we have the money we have no time.

Im emotiinally worn thin right now. And to the smarasses who mentioned my spare time since im posting? Its called multitasking and if i didnt put this out someehere id probably lose my **** today. Bite me.

We're new to most of this as a group (i garden yearly, and we have had chickens fir a year. But niw im learning ducks, hatching poultry, and rabbits at the same time while trying to make a profit)

As a positive-i have sold 17 dozen eggs in two days.

I just need everything to level out, instead of a new emergency every day. Once i can make a routine it should help but first i have to finish my pens and get my poor stinking ducks to quit seizing. (Btw-dont use dumor brand feed for ducks, try to find game bird feed if you can).

You may not understand how systems work then, because that does not sound like "working" to me. That sounds like "barely keeping you head above water as you desperately gasp for air". A good system does not have you "worn thin".

Arrange a more efficient system.
