[QUOTE="Hanging-On, post: 101393, member: 2325"] Yeah maybe I'm hard on myself. I always thought that I was doing a dang good for doing 4 people jobs by myself, and we're 5 min to 15 mins late in the morning. My beef is that it seems the professionals out there don't think I'm doing a good job. THAT puts alot of stress and pressure on me, becuase of their grips. Oh and I have told them this. A couple of times I have actually gone postal on them. They even had different meetings with me, because I was so upset with them. So they know that I'm working my bum off and don't appreciate them ragging on me becuase of something. That's why I say they should live my life and then talk to me. I'd like to see them do all of this. Not to toot my horn, but: I work full-time, and have my own clients on the side. I run our horse ranch, which not only includes taking care of animals but also it includes repair and maintance stuff. I'm the designer and architect and general contractor of our ranch (which is still a work in progress). Then I'm the boys only at home care giver, taxi driver, entertainment director, etc., and mommy. So let them do all of that, then we'll talk. So let see, to many chores in the morning. I'd love to erase some of them, so any suggestions would be great. The things we have to do before leaving is feed the animals.....just have to. I don't have any stable help to do it, and horses have to be fed in a schedule (there's that "schedule, routine" words again). So they get fed before leaving, and first thing when we get home.
