May be taking a little time between outtings would allow ya to catch your breath some and get things done around there with the kids help. That way they have a working knowledge of where things are and can be a benefit to ya. When I was in the 3rd grade I was helping in the garden, so ya may have to delegate some Chores, instead of doing them yourself. When ya stay on the go so much, nothing is bound to get done at home.

The wise man speaks!

I think we all know the "maybe I'm just tired" thing @promiseacres. Huge list of things to do, something always jumping on top of the ToDo list, makes you feel like you never accomplish much. It just wears on you.

Those kids can help and they'll be especially willing if you give them something they are barely old enough for ;)

My kids do help though sometimes it's an hassle to get them motivated... they know it's expected.
I just hate when I don't know if my chores are getting done properly when we are gone.

Then don't expect chores to be done properly when you're gone and you won't be disappointed. Expect to mop up the mess when you get home and go do what ya' gotta do.

Well we will be loosing several bales of hay because the shed door ( they were not to get into this time) wasn't closed and it was rained on... I can handle things being done differently but when I pay you for your time and then I lose hay I worked my a$$ off for and now will have to replace... idk.:hu..they are 16 and 13, good babysitters but ugh! I told them 3 times where and what hay to feed. It was untouched. :barnie

Can you put salt on the hay?

When I've had hay get rained on I spread it out on a tarp and sometimes run fans over it. Then feed it to the meat goats :D =D

Sorry you seem to be having a rough time of it!
