Having critters can work two ways; either you use them as a motivation to get up and do something, or they can be an impossible drudgery. Sounds like you need to concentrate on yourself for the time being, so why don't you either give them away or delagate someone you know you can trust to attend to them until you feel you can do it yourself? That way, you won't need to take that "guilt trip" that George Carlin and Mark were talking about?
