Oh no, LOL, that's a bad day! We all have blah days where we are feeling exhausted and the children grate on our nerves a bit or a lot. I completely agree that if you have a craft or activity planned and you feel really bad you should chuck it until the next day and just let the children freeplay. Don't feel guilty, we're human!

My trick is to bring out a few toys that are usually in storage. If the children haven't seen the toys for a few weeks they think they are brand new, hehe. The activities will get done tomorrow. Or the next day. The trick is to make sure you have great clients who understand that a craft didn't get done or a field trip was cancelled.
