Going thru a rough patch?

[KingstonMom]

Thanks everyone, today is a much better day. I get really fed up with it all and just need to vent sometimes.
Ive thought alot about what you all said and I will start taking it easier. Some days the kids will not do a fancy craft and may just colour or something instead. Also, sometimes a big glass is milk is enough for a snack if lunch is right around the corner.
I jsut feel so much pressure from parents at times (NOT because of anything anyone has ever said, they are all great). I just feel they think we are sitting around in front of the tv all day or something.
Plus I am full, I have 5 daycare kids, and my own two, 2 and 8 months old. So 7 kids is enough to keep me busy all day and at times I am pulling my hair out. Luckily, my vacation is NEXT WEEK so ill be laughing and needing the break. That shoudl help for sure.
My kids have alot of free play, indoors and out, and several trips to the park in a week. We have the kiddie pool, sandbox, a zillion toys, lots to do. But no, i am not a preschool and we dont have 'lessons' on their alphabet, numbers etc. They have fun with each other. I sometimes think i am only here to change bums, make food, and gove time-outs. I give plenty of praise for sharing, nice behaviour, cleaning up etc, but I dont have the time to be 'playing' with them, plus they dont really need me for that I suppose.
I dunno, I get frustrated, but after the days over, and the weekend hits, I start thinking about more fun things we can do on Monday.
I still believe I am in the right job, its not THAT BAD ya know?
Anyways, thanks for all the encouragement, I will take it all into account
thx girls

Kudos to you hon - I could not physically do 7 anymore ... 5 is just plenty for me most days and I prefer 4
