Oh yeah, when I'm depressed I have to realllly drag my butt out of bed to head in to work. But I put on a happy face for the kids, and they are a great help in cheering me up.

Of course, they can also cause a huge amount of stress which might push me into a depression or an up.

They wouldn't be able to tell you that there were any problems with me though. They might notice that I'm more tired or not feeling well - but that is because I'll announce to them if I'm feeling sick or tired, because I like things to be transparent like that.
