I had 10 days off over christmas which I spent steam cleaning the house, painting all the areas damaged by the daycare, cleaning, etc. I worked like crazy. Now I am back on my second week of daycare and am pooped out.

I feel like I work really hard with these kids 5 days a week and then the weekend comes and I have to do the grocery shopping for the daycare, plan the meals for the next week or daycare, cook ahead for the daycare, plan activities etc and then Monday comes and I feel like I haven't rested one bit.

every day I look forward to 'go home time' but then everyone leaves and the floors are a mess and I end up having to vacuum and mop and wipe everything down and do another hour or two of 'daycare' work.

I am not sure what I have to do to get some R&R.
Do you ever feel like this job never ends??
I'm feeling like that too right now! rocked with a cold and yuck a cold soar! I have been designating Sat as my do nothing day! I power clean on Friday night then come Sat I veg on the couch and don't move until noon! I'm going to try and get my grocery shopping done on friday nights too as There just isn't enought time to squeeze it all in on Sunday!

You might also need to take a step back and ask yourself if your doing too much with the kids. I used to do craft everyday and now I've decided its ok if we do it 2 to 3 times a week!

I just think it's cabin fever. You sound like you need a weekend to de-stress!
