Burned Out!

I had a friend who told me recently she was "burned out" from taking care of her baby boy. I think we all get "burned out" from time to time, whether it's taking care of our kids, our elderly parents, going to school, going to work or dealing with life, we all get tired sometimes!

"Burned out" is an idiom, meaning feeling tired from overwork. It can be physical or emotional exhaustion. It comes from the verb, "burn." To burn something means to put it on fire, when there's no fire left, we say it's "out".

Think of a gas stove, when we use it a lot we use more and more fuel, soon there will be no more fuel left to make the stove work, so it's "out". The same thing with our bodies, when we have no more fuel or energy left, we also struggle to keep going, we're tired! If you're burned out, please take a break!

Are you burned out from work this week?Do you know who else is burned out this week? Our dog, Maggie.
