Spring Fever!

Yesterday's weather left me with a serious case of Spring Fever. With highs reaching the lower 60s in the city and the sun being out with all of its glory in a big blue sky, this morning's freezing rain has quickly jolted me back into the realities of February. Gross. Is it only February? I am so ready for Spring. For so many reasons.

First and foremost, the weather. As Spring is probably my favorite season as far as weather goes, with a close second being Summer only when I'm able to lay by the pool or frequent the beaches of Florida, I have been longing all morning for Mr. Groundhog to tell me that it's quickly approaching. Well, Phil from PA let me down. Poor thing saw his shadow which means 6 more long weeks for this terrible wintery chill. Boo.

Another reason to look forward to Spring? Flip flops. I suppose they coincide with the weather aspect, but busting out the flip flops and spring wear always brightens my spirits. Especially this year as I plan to look more smashing for mini skirt and tank top seasons. As I'm working my ass off currently to do so, I suppose I'll be feeling pretty damn good about being me by then. Hopefully.

Along with that, wedding season. On the calender so far, I have three to attend and one to participate in. Whether I'm looking forward to the actual weddings or the reactions I'm seeking from people who haven't seen my current transformation, you take your pick. In any case, I do enjoy weddings especially because right now, they're not mine. Young and free is the way to be at this point in my life anyway. I have nothing against anyone getting married at my age or even starting families if they so desire, trust me I know many who have already done so, but it's not in the cards for Classy quite yet. And I like it that way. But attending the festivities of others... that's a different story. I'm always a fan of a party. Just make it a good one. Verdicts are still out on how "good" these particular weddings will be, but once again, I'll be feeling good, so it's a positive attitude exuding from my end. Eyes bright, smile on, waist line smaller... You with me? Good.

Anyway, they got snow back home today. My mom asked this morning if we had gotten any here as I suppose we were predicted to. None yet to report. Sun's still bright even though morning rains brought my Spring temperatures back down. At this point in the season, if you're not going to give me enough snow to get me out of work, just give me the sun. And warm it back up so I can get these children outside for the love of all that is good! I don't mean to whine, I'm just day dreaming away. Bring on the Spring. Please!

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.
