The longest month

Posted by Mandy on March 25th, 2008 filed in Musings

I remember when I was teaching the last few years that the month before Spring Break was always a tough one.  February, the shortest month of the year, seemed to drag on forever: there were no long weekends, it was the coldest month of the year and darkest, and most people had colds or other nasty bugs.  The time passed so slowly, waiting for that break.

I didn’t really think that it would be the same once I was at home full time, but the month of February truly sucked, and for all the same reasons.  This time around, though, I didn’t have the large support group of other teachers who were also dragging their feet through the mire to get to the hallowed ground of Break.

Seriously.  Winter needs to be over!  It’s March, and there’s still over a foot of snow on our lawn, which probably won’t melt until May.  Coming back from warm, sunny South Carolina, this seems like a cruel joke, sometimes.  Oh well… the summers here are awesome, so it all evens out in the end.
