You CAN do this. I find sometimes taking baby steps gets me going when in a funk. I set a short work period maybe 15 min, then a short reward period maybe 10 min. If I just keep doing this I find eventually the work time gets longer and the reward time shorter.
Reward yourself with Mom things that feel good read to the kids or play a quick game or just cuddle. this way it is a reward for you and the kids.
As for taking a break I have done that (sort of) since last May. I did take Praxis exams and a short(24 hr) course but other then that I have not done any "School" stuff since May. I did apply for my MAT and today I started the studying and I feel I am ready to really get back into it. So sometimes a break is just what the Dr. ordered.
