I've read about your hectic schedule, and I have to say it worries me.

I don't think I could keep up with your schedule. I do work the occasional 12 hour day and some times 12 days in row(not always the full 8 hours) but I don't think it compares. You have a lot on your plate. I hope you don't get sick. Take some time for yourself. Just reading that post was exhausting and I have never heard of things slowing down when you are starting a business.

Marie,


I'm so glad you and DH were able to sit down and have a conversation about this. Your schedule is just too hectic and not good for anyone.


As an interim solution, have you considered hiring someone to help around the house and at your mom's place? This may sound terrible, but given the high unemployment rate in Michigan, you could probably find someone for next to nothing. Having someone to do the hard cleaning (bathroom, vaccumming, floors) may be worth $20 a week. Just a thought.

Norma,


The cold was making me extra tired, and I am doing better now.

Having people in to clean is not something we could handle.

Marie, wrote you a longest reply under weekend expense then I realized it is in the wrong place. Too long and too lazy write again. Take a look if you are interested.

I do hope you can get some rest.
