Springtime... where are you? I am so done with the mid 40's, the fact that I can't keep the windows and doors open, waiting for the right time to plant the veggies... I have mowed the grass, tuned up the scooter, cleaned up the porch (can't wait for warm nights to sit and chat with my neighbors), started buying lemonade and fired up the BBQ! Where are you?

This spring has been long but seems to have flown by. Several of my friends have had babies: Deb popped a sprout and Haley and Shamindra had a Davindra. Both are cute as buttons. We had snow days and now my principal is talking about Swine Flu Days.. she says " You probably have enough sick days to cover it if we had to close, but we would prefer not to"... unh, yah. I have friends who were given their pink slips and today some got their lottery announcements. As in, when we have to start laying off teachers, you will have to draw a number...

Maybe I should stop rooting for spring and say "Bring on the summer!" We have 27.5 days left...
