Burnout and Breaks

What this episode covers

In this episode, I explain why I’m wearing glasses after dealing with a lingering stye that’s turned into a chalazion, what I’ve tried so far, and what the eye doctor may have to do next. We also talk about how May has felt overwhelmingly busy, including dance recital weekend, end-of-school chaos, graduation season work stress, and a last-day-of-school scare when Henry threw up in the middle of the night. We share how burned out we both feel, what we do (and don’t) do for ourselves to rest, and some summer realities like neighborhood kids, pool safety concerns, and snack boundaries. To reset, we’re taking a summer break from weekly episodes while staying active on social media and posting occasional updates.00:00 Glasses And Stye Update01:14 Eye Doctor And Chalazion04:25 Maycember Recital Chaos07:47 Burnout And Overwhelm09:13 Summer Break Schedule Shift10:06 Midnight Throw Up Scare13:05 What We Do For Ourselves15:13 Velcro Kid Moments15:47 Outdoor Kids in Any Weather16:47 Cool Rainy Spring Talk17:53 Pool Setup and Safety Worries19:46 Neighbor Kids and Snack Chaos23:22 Lunch Skipping and Work Schedules25:11 Graduation Week Overwhelm26:48 Burnout and Summer Break Plans28:53 Stay Connected This Summer
