No energy to run the daycare, should I take energy pills :(

[apples and bananas]

In regards to the toddler intimidation.... Not everyone one is a good fit for us. Sometimes we hava kids come to us and are no problem at all, but they didn't work well with their last provider. I'd just chalk it up to not a good fit.

I get really tired around 3pm (just as the kids are up from their restful nap) LOL I take a B vitamin supplement with my lunch and on the days I do that I seem to do a lot better.

As far as crafts go, I don't do as much as I used to unless there are holidays coming up. The reason? No ones interested. The kids aren't interested, the parents aren't interested. Why bother. So, we do normal colouring, holding crayons, naming colours, older ones are starting with glue and using scissors, but past that, unless it's a special occasion I just don't bother planning big extravagant crafts.

It's the time of year. We can't get outside, the house is looking exactly the same every day. There are weeks that I don't leave the house for days at a time!

Try to make some time for yourself. Get a pedicure, get your hair done, coffee with a friend sat morning. Whatever it is you love, just go do it.
