When you have to be the magic, you don't have as much time to feel the magic. I had the same exact experience this year.

We push ourselves to do and be more because we know how important it is for kids. There's no one to pick up the slack. And when it's all done, absolutely done, and everything is still... there's no one to discuss the frustrations or successes of the day with.

I also pride myself on my strength, but I think it's endurance that gets us through. You're doing great. Keep moving.
