I’ve officially got spring fever, guys. Or summer fever, even, if there’s such thing?
With weather like this it’s hard to tell.
It’s that feeling where I don’t want to do anything involving the word “school” even though my brain is overflowing with crazy thoughts of everything I have to do:
Report cards are due next week.
April conferences are coming up.
And the spring Open House is right around the corner.
This spring fever thing? It all started last week after daylight savings– when I was taking pictures in my kitchen after 6. Natural light after 6:00? Yes, please, and THANK YOU HALLELUJAH.
Only problem is, now I don’t want to do anything except bask in the sun all day and lounge around in my yoga pants by the open breezy window all night. Lesson planning? Pish. Oh, March 2012 teacher troubles. You are a real, live thing.
This past weekend was so fun I secretly wish I was still living in it.
Except it’s not a secret anymore. Because I just told you.
Spending time outdoors, in the sunshine, and with friends is the best kind of day and the only real way to live. I’ve been hanging out in my new sun room (a front porch, if you will), doing some spring cleaning around the apartment, and taking my mind to warmer days. I haven’t even wanted to sit down with my laptop for any extended period of time. All I want is fresh air and thankful afternoons outside– THIS IS LIVING! At this point, the school day hours are just a means to the early evenings, and week days are just a means to the weekend. Sad and unfortunate for the teacher in me, but undoubtedly true.
And believe me, 80 degrees does not make it any easier.
Summer??
Is that you??!
Sure as heck feels like it.
And even though you’re making work RULLY RULLY hard, I’ll take you over winter any day—
And I’ll rejoice in you as long as you’re here.
