What’s a “day off”? Lol
We have infant twins, 6 horses, 7 pigs, 6 dogs, 3 cows, a couple dozen chickens, 2400 square foot greenhouse and 85 acres of farm land to tend too. And my partner has a business to run.

In all fairness, you must enjoy at least some of these things to have taken on all these burdens. The kids perhaps?

I love everything about our lifestyle… I wasn’t complaining.

Here's an interesting story.... Saturday was a beautiful sunny day, which is a rare find during this rainy, dreary summer. And guess what, I couldn't enjoy the sunny day because I went to bed on Friday at 11pm and woke up at 2pm on Sunday!! It was the craziest week at work and I was just soooo exhausted that I dropped dead in bed on Friday night and slept for over 12 hours!!

This is why I cannot understand how anyone can work beyond their 5 days per week. Work is just insanely tiring!!!

Twelve hours? Doing the math it was thirty nine (39) hours.

Unless you'd had a couple twenty four hour shifts during the week even sleeping twelve hours would be problematic and might point to other issues.
