It's warm here

I refuse to turn on the a/c in March. Just not gonna do it. It's hard to believe that yesterday was the first day of spring because a) it's been feeling like spring mostly since mid February, and b) it was in the 80's and felt more like summer. I've told my husband that perhaps we will use some calamity days after all, but instead of snow days off in January or February, it'll be heat days in May. It seems ridiculous to think it could be in the 90's in May, but at this point I'm pretty sure anything at all is possible.

Only eight more school days until spring break! We are so looking forward to some time off. I was subbing in a first grade classroom yesterday, and this time of year, coupled with the fact that the classrooms are already becoming uncomfortably hot, makes it challenging to keep behaviors in check. Our own three are no exception. We still have 2-1/2 months of school, but I'm afraid "shut down" mode might come early this year. I was in tears Monday evening, feeling like I was the worst mother ever. I know that we all have rough evenings, but that doesn't make me feel much better about it.

On the upside, we have absolutely nothing on our calendar this evening, so perhaps the entire family will be able to be out and enjoy the gorgeous (albeit warmer than I'd like) weather!
