Midwest?  Go to Cedar Point in Sandusky.

UCF and USF and Busch Gardens. I know what we are doing. I just don't want to go. It's just for the kids.[/quote]

I've been where you are... the people who make it sound like you just have to do x,y, and z and (duh!) all your problems will be solved are not helpful right now.  There are no easy answers.

The trip is just a symptom of a bigger issue - your declining health and shrinking bandwidth.  I would suggest going to the doctor because it could there could be easy things that get you feeling a little more energetic - like addressing vitamin d or b insufficiencies.  Is there any way to cut back on your work responsibilities?  Any way to drop the rope on kids' activities?  People say teenagers are less work than little kids, but their problems can be bigger and the stakes feel higher.  Regardless, it sounds like you need to figure out a way to re-charge your battery or you will get more and more depleted.  Eventually, your body will make you stop.

Think about what gives you peace or rest and try and build that in - make it sacred and important.  It is really hard to be at your life stage.  I'm sorry you are having such a tough time right now.
