I've been clowning for birthday parties, and other celebrations involving children for about 3 years now. Happily, my reputation has grown, and I am constantly busy due to word of mouth recommendation.

My problem is I just feel burned out. I do between 3 and 5 parties a weekend, this is not a hobby, it's my job, so I don't work during the week unless you count raising 5 children and doing all the house work and cooking work!!!! I genuinely like working with kids. I just feel burned out and I don't understand why. I work more now, than at the beginning, but for the past few weeks it's really becoming a chore.

Has anyone else experienced this? It's really not something that people who don't work as clowns can understand, so my husband and friends can't really relate. I sometimes think it's being unrelentingly friendly and nice for so long is what takes it's toll.

I'm in a different time zone from most of you, so will check in tomorrow, thanks in advance,
NTC
