HELP ME!! I'm losing my running mo-jo

Okay I'm not sure if it is waking up early, the cross country girls and some of their teachers complaining how rude some are acting, football, teaching biology HONORS (good kids but high maintence), keeping up with church/small groups, drinking too much diet Dr. Pepper till my teeth hurt, or what!! I wake up at 5:20 and come home about 6:20 pm... without running yet... I'm spent... I want to eat my unhealthy dinner and hit the couch or go to bed... I can't imagine waking up any earlier considering I'm a night owl...... I tried running 3 miles today and I was dead during it and when I was done... today I disliked running so much.... I don't know what to do....
I started watching mtv challenge and doing the elliptical.. .we have DVR so that I can record anything and watch it on any TV... I did the elliptical for 1 1/2 hours.... is this wrong??
Can anyone give me advice? My weekends consist of cross country meet from 6am-1pm... Then I am usually asleep all day after that.... Sunday I have church and then I'm back at school for about 5-6 hours catching up on all my grading for the week and preparing for a lab or lessons for the next week...
I was doing so well in August and early Sept... I'm scared I won't be able to run all of the half without stopping... and like lindsey knows I'm highly competitive/confident when it comes to anything sports but this time I am actually worried... Anyone have anything for me... Oh yeah one more ramble... I started a junior high team where they never had one, I'm up to 4 7th grade boys and 3 7th grade girls... so in the mornings I have about 22 kids running for me a dead beat coach... I may run with them Friday but other days I have to write down times, take care of injuries, organize their funraisers, take care of equipment, and other tedious jobs, and find time to get ready/dressed for the day... okay I'm done... let the praying begin or advice pour in... I'm ya'll sponge

Its okay to skip a run now and again, but don't make it a habit. You make time for your priorities,and I know you are extremely busy, but there is always time to take care of yourself, even if its just putting in a fifteen minute jog on the track while you are waiting for your team to come in from their run. Cross training is okay, but don't lose sight of your goals...and remember, this is supposed to be fun, don't stress over it.
