I know exactly what you mean about organization. For my 40th birthday my in-laws gave us babysitting while we went to France (I've never been.) I'm 46, and we never made the trip -- we just never had the energy to schedule and arrange everything. Now we're talking about going as a foursome -- travelling with early teens is doable for us. But that's not the real point -- the real point is that you can be too tired to take care of yourself.

Would something as simple as an hour alone help you refuel? That's easier to arrange than most things: drop me off at a Starbucks or the public library or whatever and pick me up in an hour. Sometimes that's enough. Sometimes just getting to complete an uninterrupted thought is priceless.
