Any thoughts?

Holy mother of...
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

You don't like my suggestions?

I'm not sure yet, give me 6-8 minutes to read??
I actually read all of OP's post hahaha.

Oh okay! Whew, you had me worried that I was out of line with the suggestions!

LOVE the suggestions, but we have yet to see what OP thinks about it.
Personally, the waking up at 4:40 sounds good to me.. OP should perhaps do the workout at this time AND the running of the dogs listed on your last list.
That sounds more beneficial and OP will have a full day of workouts that actually FEEL like a workout to them.

....OP??


Edit: I would also try to build my own automatic/timed feeders if the cages are nearby.. Then again, I like building stuff.
No more hungry animals, more time for OP to relax a bit.

I like your suggestions too!

^^QFT!!!!

What does QFT mean?

Quoted for truth hahaha

THANKS!!!

I'm sorry! I should have explained that in the first place!!









:flowerforyou:

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?

i needed to get it off my chest. Wont happen again.

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? 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.

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