Burn Out In July?

Ok so I was sitting at school working on some curriculum work for fall and I looked to a friend who said, "I am burn out already and it is only July." Then as I was sitting there I did feel overwhelmed a lot and thinking, do I really want to walk back in in August and feel burn out? How many teachers are running around this summer planning for next year and are already broke and burnt out?
In preperation for my 2nd year I feel as though I am like a chicken with my head cut off, looking to get everything done I wish I had done last year so that I could be "better" than the year before. But I have learned one thing, The more prepared you are the more you are not. You are always going to walk want to complete something new when you have finished something else. And then you are going to be burnt out from all the new and extra things you have going on in your classroom.

So if you are feeling like me, please do as I am going to try and do: Work one day, relax one day, work one day, relax 2 days! The point is make sure you take at least 3 days during the week to make sure that you relax and enjoy that this is summer! Because we ALL know that come october we will wish we were this relaxed in July!!!
