It's March When...

You know it's March when the sun peeks out behind the clouds to tease you.

You know it's March when your morning routine isn't quite as smooth since you must calculate the appropriate attire for the fluctuating temperatures. 

You know it's March when every piece of clothing you pull out of your closet looks less and less appealing, and you are pulled toward that pair of Capri pants in your drawer.

You know it's March when you get closer and closer and closer and closer to that last week forcing you to question April's existence.

You know it's March when your students seem to have a limited tolerance of their classmates, and in turn you question your own tolerance.

You know it's March when you see your students longingly stare out the window at the bright sunshine.

You know it's March when you see that bright sunshine, and then you actually feel the frigid, deceiving temperatures. 

You know it's March when you start making statements such as:  "That can wait until Spring Break."

You know it's March when basketball takes over my TV, and my husband.

You know it's March when brown lawns stare at you as if begging for a makeover.

You know it's March when you start thinking of flowers, lawn mowers, and home repairs.

You know it's March when...-well, when you feel as if Spring will never come, and you start wondering if you'll survive March.

  1. All of this: So very true! I'm sick of my winter clothes, tired of socks. My husband started a winter boycott a couple of weeks ago by putting his winter coat away for good. No matter how cold it is, he's refusing to wear a coat because he's DONE. I especially liked your line about the brown lawns begging for a makeover. And that sun, so deceiving! We only have 6 more days until April. Hope we can make it!
