I don't do it for the parents, or frankly even the kids, though they benefit. I do it for ME. Because it's all about ME
I find the kids play better when I am on top of my game, the days go more smoothly, etc. Like another poster said, I make sure the schedule is full of things I enjoy doing (outside time, walks, reading, etc) I rarely do arts and crafts with the kids (though my assistant does) because I don't enjoy it
Another thought is to make sure you are physically healthy. I was really dragging much of last year and finally found out my Vitamin D levels were seriously deficient. No wonder I kept catching every bug last year.
It got to the point that I could barely move or function. I've been taking supplements and feel sooooooo much better! But there are so many conditions that can make you feel tired, unmotivated, etc. So it's worth checking out.
I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes a month ago. I started going to the gym on a regular bases and watching what I eat. So far I'm down almost 10lbs. However, my husband is acting like a butthole right now and it has my mood in the dumbs as well. I decided the other day that his issues are not my issues and he will need to figure those out.
