There are a few weeks left for us in the school year. Hopefully you are looking more like the owl on the left, then the owl on the right! But, as the year is ending, if you are tending to look more like the end of the year owl, there are a few things that Tim and I really try to be conscious of at the end of the year to pace ourselves.
We try really hard to help each other follow these four guidelines.
Getting lots of sleep is always important. But, I think, it's even more so important when you have lists and lists of things to get done. It can be really hard to shut-off the lists, but your body will thank you in the morning!
We also really try and make an effort to eat healthy at the end of the school year. It's really easy to run through the drive-thru, but the quick fix from eating there doesn't last as long as healthy eating.
Recently, I've found the best blog for healthy eating. It's Organize Yourself Skinny by Tammy. She has great recipes for Green Smoothies and other healthy eating! Tim and I both have started having a green smoothie every morning and it really gives us a boost of energy!

You can NOT do everything! This is good to remember at any time, but it's so important at the end of the school year. There are so many committees you could help with or last minute plans that could be made better. You can not be a part of everything. So, I choose to pick a few and do them really well. I also pick a time amount and Tim helps me stop after that time!
The last thing I do is try and get ready for next year. This helps me feel better as the school year comes to an end! As I'm packing up I try and purge things I haven't used in a long time (or that really need to be replaced). I also keep a list of things I need to purchase over the summer and the start of my to-do list for next school year. This just makes me feel better!
