She sounds like an exceptionally tough lady. Most women aren’t even fully enough healed after one week to return to any kind of physical labor, but I know there are people out there that somehow do it!

Her only vacation was the one week that she had off after giving birth. After that one week, she was back working on the farm (she milked all of the cows, twice a day – a six hour job), not to mention taking care of the rest of us kids and cooking and cleaning and helping with other farm work.
Cheer up – you can do this! Think of it as character building and the making of some great stories – something those “rich women” will never have (:
