Burnout and spring fever

amysconfections · Post by **amysconfections** » Wed Mar 05, 2008 12:02 pm

Is anyone else experiencing Burnout? What about spring fever? I am ready for some pretty, warm days and I just like checking off and completing something. We only have 6 weeks worth of lessons left in Little Hearts for His Glory but I want to be done. It's not that we don't enjoy our school but I'm ready for spring field trips to the Zoo and summer swimming!

But mostly being able to say we Completed our first year of school!!!!! I'm also ready to order next years stuff and get the thrill of opening a box of fresh school books! YUM!

Amy,

No burnout here! I do definately anticipate the arrival of spring though! I am looking forward to starting a garden that actually resembles a garden and produces. It was difficult trying to explain to my daughter that everything died because I didn't water enough and the soil was too poor. Our big black lab Sadie, digging in the garden didn't help matters either. So this time around I am going to make a better effort!

As far as school time, I still really get excited about making our way through Little Hands. To me, each day is like getting to open a new present and seeing what is inside. I actually keep myself from looking ahead in the manual because I love the daily anticipation. I am a goofball, I know. And yes, I could look forward to the purchase and arrival of Little Hearts in the future but, I have most everything already waiting here because I just could not wait!

I hear you about the fun field trips and swim time too!

I have to confess that right now where I live in CA, it is in the mid seventies and looks like spring!

I'm with Candice: no burnout, but anticipating spring.

I'm not really burned out...we enjoy what we're doing. I am tired of such long shool days, though, and am ready to start with Bigger. I want to be done with this year, so we can move into our new curriculum..so I think it's more impatience than anything else.

Kind of. Not with regard to school-we are at the halfway point in Bigger and loving it! Just ready for the weather to stabilize instead of vacillating from chilly to warm to windy to calm-it's like my body doesn't know how to feel

I said Kind Of. I'm very happy with our schooling. But I'm so ready for warmer weather. We normally head south for a week each winter. I'm wondering if we went too early this year. Maybe we need to push it off until mid-February instead of late January next year.

Not tired of school. We love Little Hearts, but I'm always ready to do new stuff!

I just want it to hurry up and get warm. I am so very tired of snow and ice!!

Yesterday as a matter of fact. I'm burned out schooling as a whole, not w/HOD. I told my Dh yesterday, that I'm tired of playing Suzy Homemaker and playing with a 7 yr old all day. Seems nasty, but that's really how I felt. I want to live on Room Service on the Bahama's w/an umbrella drink in my hand (doesn't have to be alcoholic) in a swim suit on the beach and do school when I want under the shady umbrella. Tiki bar wouldn't hurt. Okay...I lied about the alcohol.

Okay...I'm back now.

I said 'kind of' just because I can't wait for it to get warmer. We still love doing Little Hands. I think we like it more each day. I just need to get outside and run in the grass which since we got another inch of snow today is a little difficult right now.

I said "kind of" because we did experience burn out on Monday. We took a day off and are better now. You can check my blog to see what we did for our day off.

Gina,

Excellent idea for break-time from school! Every now and then we need to break away and do something completely fun!

We are planning a trip to Disneyland very soon, and the reason...Just because!

I love the name of your blog..."Beandip Blog"-How did that come about, I mean the name beandip?

Your blog looks great!

I am not at all burned out on school but I am burned out on being sick and having sick kids. In fact I just want to feel better so we can do more.

But not burnt out on school. Love what we are doing!

Candice- I am hispanic so Beandip was a nickname from high school.

I hope you and your family have fun at Disneyland. My in-laws get annual passes for our whole family for Christmas every year and it is such a blessing. Especially since the cost to get into the park for one day is outrageous!!

I love the photo of your daughter in the snow on your blog. It looks like you had a great time.

Ditto to what w2w said! My baby has the stomach flu, and I'm still figuring out my thyroid troubles - ready to be done with being sick and with all of my baby's helmet appointments - BUT, still loving school!
