feeling more tired after own holiday

[newandlearning]

I don't quite know how.. I've already had my summer holiday break and started back at work last week.. I found I was more tired after my break than before it and have found it really odd adjusting back to childminding after just being a mum..

I really enjoyed not thinking about lunches .. having the support of my DH around.. not having childminding posters up.. having my house as a home... and realising how bad my own eating habits have become...(well.. didn't enjoy this realisation quite so much)

Does anyone else ever feel more tired after a break than before it? In years past I had always come home feeling energised and ready to take on the masses.. I'm beginning to see why a lot of childminders seem to take the whole of August off and I'm worried I may not have had enough time to re-energise.. xx

We went away for a week a couple of months ago and realised when you have children it's not really a holiday, just exactly the same stuff in a different place! I got home sick though so we came back early... I usually get home sick.

I usually come back like this and find sorting out my childminding stuff and planning some nice things to do with the children really helps.

I think it's just the thought of another year before a holiday which is a bit depressing, which makes me feel tired and down after a fab holiday. I have always found this feeling only lasts a couple of weeks


Hope you feel better soon

I usually feel like this, holidays with children arent really a rest and then theres always a bit of a low when you have to come back to work. Hopefully it will pass!
