Thank you gcj for posting this. I have no real suggestions for you but I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone. I too have been feeling the exact same way especially these last couple weeks. Sick of repeating myself and dealing with some of the same issues that have been going on for what seems like forever. Not to mention the pressures of having to maintain your own household. Kinda feeling burnt out.
Our job really is 24:7 if you really think about it. Sometimes we even lay awake in bed thinking about it (the kids) all night long. What has been helping me this week is getting outside with the kids as much as possible. We literally haven't done any structured stuff this week and have just been at the park, went to the library today, played in the yard and I have just been talking lots with them about everything (plants we see, birds, colors of stuff). I've just been trying to wake up positively and keep telling myself to just breath. It really has calmed myself down a bit and I have been able to keep my cool for the most part - even with my own son who seems to be the worst of the bunch lately. I've only been doing this for almost a year but I am sure that it comes with its seasons of highs and lows as any job does. I've actually been thinking about starting to change some things in my day to day stuff here in hopes that it will get me out of this funk. When I used to work outside of my home it seemed that a new position or a new thing to learn always helped with that. In this case I'm thinking about adding more structure to my day and being more purposeful with our time in the sense of being more educational.
Praying your week gets better. Hang in there girlfriend
