spring is here, spring is here, time for skittles, time for beer!

It's like somebody flipped a switch in the sky, and it's now seriously SPRING. It's warm out, and I'm wearing sandals and shorter skirts and no leggings! I'm seeing my students without coats for the first time in MONTHS. It feels hopeful, as if we might survive this long, hectic year.

I went to a crawfish boil today, a sure sign of spring in Louisiana. Good food, good people. I'm also looking forward to spending spring break with marathoner452 in Maryland in a couple of weeks. I'm planning on walking more, and eating more salads with spring greens.

I'll be also interested in hearing what everybody's favourite things about spring are, if y'all want to share!

My favorite thing about spring is that the 3 blizzards worth of snow is finally gone and when I go in to sub I can take the kids outside for recess. There was only so much inside recess I could take. Kids need to run around and scream and get their energy out before I'm prepared to work with them for another bunch of hours.

I subbed in kindergarten again today. I thought you might find that to be funny. I was really flattered, actually, because the teacher was in for for testing recommended me for the office when this other teacher called out at the last minute.

Spring means fewer dark cloudy days and fewer excuses to lie around in bed and be moody and sad and keep my pjs on all day.
