its hard to know what the issue is without knowing more about the specifics of your training and diet.
i would be surprised if roller work put you into a true state of Over-Trained. I think following Brian's advice will pull you out of the hole.

as a father of 2, with a full time job that goes late into the evening and a full training load- i can tell you that nutrition and sleep are key.. try adding in a nap after getting your boy off to school. huge benefits from napping for athletes
