As the school year races to a close, it seems like every day brings a new quiz on social media. Whether it’s discovering your spirit animal or which Disney princess you resemble, these quizzes are everywhere. But as a mom, what you really need is a quiz that cuts to the chase: How ready are you for the end of the school year?

Let’s face it; between science projects, math homework, and endless school events, this time of year can be particularly overwhelming. You might not truly realize how stressed you are—whether you just need a calm evening with a cup of tea or an all-out getaway to recharge.

So, take a moment to reflect and answer these questions honestly:

When you spot paper cups at the grocery store, you think:

1. What a waste! Why do people even need these?
2. Oh, I need these for my kid’s Flat Stanley party tomorrow!
3. Yikes! I was supposed to send those in today!
4. Wait, was that for the Flat Stanley party, or the end-of-year soccer party? Or was it for the Friendship Club bash? Seriously, why are we doing this?

Seeing a bulging backpack filled with a year’s worth of art and schoolwork makes you feel:

1. Excited! I can’t wait to add these to the surprise collage I’m making.
2. A little annoyed but glad to see my child’s creativity. I’ll keep a couple.
3. I’ll deal with that later… right after the smell of old lunch wafts through the house.
4. Straight to the trash it goes. I’ll just pretend it never existed!

When your child hands you another form to fill out, you:

1. Complete it immediately and send it back.
2. Roll your eyes, grumble, then fill it out.
3. Toss it in the “to-do” pile and hope for the best.
4. Craft it into a paper hat and belt out “I Feel Pretty” because why not?

Answer Key:

• If you mostly chose 1’s, congratulations! You’ve either just vacationed or are blissfully child-free.
• If you picked 2’s, you’re hanging in there but ready for summer to start. Treat yourself to some herbal tea—you deserve it!
• Those with mostly 3’s are on the edge of sanity. A girls’ night out is in order; grab a few fellow moms and let loose!
• If you answered mostly 4’s or even authored this quiz, you need a serious break. Call up a friend, or even that nice lady at Starbucks, and escape for a weekend.
