You are not alone and there is no shame in being HUMAN. Have you heard of the book "Finding your smile again"? I am rereading it myself this week.

FANTASTIC book! Jeff Johnson is a great guy too.

Personally, going to conferences or child care group meetings helps me avoid burning out. (And making sure I have at least 1 day off each month!)
