This is very personal.
In all other jobs we had, we had jobs, we did this we did that. This is the only career that calls for a major meltdown around this time every year. This is the 5th meltdown for us.
We are so tired, we have had no privacy and space and the guests come first all the time, the phone, the check ins, the honey-do list, there is no time for us. Even when we make time it never seems to be just for us.
This is a warning. You who have been there know what I mean, and those who are not yet there - beware. It takes its toll this business. People pass it off and say "We have had our own business before" or we have worked out of our home before. This is NOT THE SAME THING. Not the same as any of those.
I think there is a point when your politeness and always being "on" suddenly crashes and blows up.
Of course it gets aimed at those we love and that is simply wrong. But that is what we do.
I need to apologise to my entire family. Even tho I still feel like tearing someone's head off and crying at the same time. It is a very difficult situation. You MUST mark days off, you MUST use them on other than laundry and cleaning and maintenance. YOU MUST!
