I haven't a clue of how to beta. I'm still working up the courage to ask someone to read my own work with an editor's eye. Sigh. So all I can offer is sympathy. How old are your kids? I find it's often hard to tease apart depression from the legitimate exhaustion that comes with being a mom, not to mention having to earn a living, do the laundry, pay the bills, do the grocery shopping...and on and on and on. Of course, faced with all of those thankless tasks, depression is actually a sensible response. And add in some dental work on top of that. Grrrr. One of my big regrets at Writercon was not actually being able to spend any time talking with you. I've got a drink with your name on it for the next one!
