I sooooo get what you are saying. I've had so many ups and downs since I started this career. My husband works 12 hours a day 7 days a week so he's not much help. Sometimes I dream of going back to my old job just to wear nice clothes and see people and be able to have a 15 minutes break JUST FOR ME ! But what helps me get over it is I remind myself that I had lows in my other job as well and focus on what is good in the home daycare life. Kick back, take it easy try to go outside with the kids. For me fresh air helps a lot. Call up a friend to go for dinner or movie or just get out of the house any excuse is good.
