Don't Toy With My Emotions

No, Seriously. Let us review. This weekend, as you read previously, was fantastic. Not only was the company wonderful, but the weather, the food, the shopping... everything. But especially the weather. After a long day of spending too much money and fighting too many crowds, it was so lovely to come home and enjoy a beverage on the back porch, watching the sun set into the breezy, yet still warm, night sky. It. Was. Perfect. I was finally at peace. One of my favorite seasons was in full effect. Spring time. Temperatures in the 70s, sun shining in all of its glory, blue skies, cool winds,... the whole nine yards. Perfection. Up until Tuesday, when the high was 80 degrees here in the city, l was blissfully content.

Fast forward to this morning. Recall, two days ago, 80 degrees and sunny. This morning... 38 and sleeting as I drive to work. What. the. Hell?

My sentiments exactly! As I sit here, watching the snow fall outside of my window at work, this picture perfectly sums up my emotions. I can understand rain in the Spring. This was in the forecast for the rest of the week, that's fine. Rain and 50s, fine. Rain, sleet, snow, and temperatures in the 30s? Seriously? No words can explain the irritation. I should've known, I suppose. I have an album of pictures from last spring entitled "When Your Spring Time is Bi-Polar." So, I suppose that this was the case last year as well, but I simply cannot recall sunshine and 80 degree weather back to back with sleet and 30 degree weather. Not. Okay. At. All!

In conclusion, all that I ask oh City Weather is to please, please, for the love of all that is good, stop toying with my emotions! It's simply not humorous. Not in the least.

What I Would Give...

For one day of this. Total Bliss.

If I have to suffer through more of this 29 degree weather with no snow and now rain... I'm going to scream. Now some of you might be saying, 29!? Wow, that's warm.. or some of you might be saying..cough.. Island Girl.. cough.. I'm glad I'm further South than you are enjoying my Spring-like weather. But this Classy girl? She's stuck. In the dead of winter, freezing temperatures, no snow, therefore, no snow days where one would get work days cancelled, and really pretty pissed off about it. We all know how much I hate winter anyway, but add rain to the equation...this is ridiculous. Tell me how, Mr. Super Athlete got all of his classes cancelled today because of weather conditions and he lives approximately 45 minutes north of me. Here, however, we get freezing rain. Rain. Rain. Rain. Bah! Sure, roads are bad, trees are down in some areas around me because of ice weighing down the branches, but other than that, it's not like it's snowing or anything.

I really need a vacation.

My newly revamped classroom is beautiful. We worked really hard to get it the way we wanted it and the way it should've been to begin with. The kids absolutely love it. This also means that they are crazy in it. Way too excited. A positive and a negative. I knew it would come back to bite me. Today has just been one of those days. Not necessarily bad, but one of those... you know. The kind you just wish you could've slept through. I feel like I've raised my voice far too much, but all of it was necessary. My boss laughed when I was upstairs earlier, saying "I bet my teachers are praying for a snow day, right Classy?" ..... She has no idea. This afternoon, my children will be performing a snow dance. What that is, I don't know at the moment, but anything to get a day off, works for me. We'll see how that pans out. For some reason, I feel like I'm not that lucky. We'll find out.
