You know my philosophy: people first. When you're so stressed, you can't do anyone else much good, so take some much needed time for yourself. An hour away isn't going to hurt anything but it can make the difference in your state of mind, which can help to improve how you handle things. If you can take even longer, I highly recommend it. You'll come back refreshed and able to face things more readily. Hang in there, Jen. We all have our days when we just don't feel much like eating. Maybe that's the case w/your furkids. At any rate, some time away from the situation can help.
