It might help to take on a little project unrelated to the daycare.

Maybe try out a new fitness routine or try yoga (sooooooooo helpful for me when I'm stressed out).

I like to redecorate, or plan to redecorate even if I can't do it immediately. It helps to have something to look forward to "one day" and it breaks up the monotony of the day when I can think "I get to work on this tonight/this weekend."
