Hello southernpaganmom. When you get a spare minute (yea...I know...what spare minute) you might check into the rabbit breed Checker Giants. They are usually on the docile side. They are larger than most breeds and grow quickly. I helped a friend with his animals and usually had a freezer full of meat for the winter months. You will definately need a place to hang them for processing. I hope this suggestion helps. Oh...don't skimp on the coffee. With that kind of schedule you need the good stuff.
