Aw gcj, I'm sorry that you're feeling stifled. Do you have a hobby? Or friends who would like to go out for dinner or a movie so you can have a night out? It's important to turn daycare OFF and even to get a break from your own family once in a while. What about a nice date night with your spouse this weekend?

I just returned from a vacation and it's really important to me to schedule my vacations spread out through the year so that I have one to look forward to and then I return refreshed and ready for the months ahead. I know my limits and that I have to take care of myself in order to be at the top of my game with these little munchkins all around me.

I hope you can sit down and make a plan to make sure you stay fresh and rested too.
