I completely undertand. This mare was actually my DH's mare, and he sort of blamed me in a way for her passing (LONG story). So, I was doing all the feedings for the first 10 days or so and I was a zombie. I was literally seeing and hearing things...and practically lived in the barn in April (which is cold in Michigan!). DH finally came around, and when Annie got better about the feedings, that's when we called in the help. At first, I was worried SICK that folks wouldn't feed her enough or not do it right...but what a relief it was to find that they actually all felt so very responsible for their time slots! It was most definitely a group effort, and I couldn't have done it without the help. These little kittens need you now...get yourself some help, though, before you make yourself sick with worry and lack of rest!
