I am sure everyone is excited about it being April and that classes are over in May, which means just little over a month until we are done with this semester and summer break begins!! I, too, am ecstatic about this information! Summer is my all time favorite month and even though I work, I will have Tuesdays and Thursdays to do what I want! Woo hoo! But April is usually rainy and the weather is weird! This year, is especially true and shows a great example of why. Ever hear the saying, “April showers bring May flowers.” I think somewhere in that saying, it needs to have something about the old weather! One day the weather is around high 70s and hot. Then the next day it is low 50s rainy, and chilly! This weather is teasing me and putting me in a weird mood.
Last year I would have been starting track. I hated it, but it was the one sport I succeeded the most in. however, considering I hate the cold, wet weather it was even more horrible! Wearing those skimpy little shorts and beater I often froze at track meets and at practice! Thank goodness that chapter in my life is over because I do not miss it at all! As you can see I am a big ol’ baby when it comes to being cold. My parents often tell me I have some sort of disease because if it isn’t 75 degrees then I have a blanket around me!
Back to April, I guess this is not anything new for this month, but is it just me or is it really colder than normal? Last week, I believe Thursday, it was SNOWING while I was at MSSU! I only remember one time when it was snowing in April and that was my freshman year in high school at track practice. (Imagine that!) The grass that has finally started to pop up front the ground is getting a rude awakening from this cold weather because, like I said, one day it is perfect weather and I am in shorts and a t-shirt, then the next day I’m about to freeze my bottom off! Poor, poor grass I tell ya! Also, I cannot decide when I need to put away my winter clothing, and I don’t always go home on the weekend, and it is hard to pack for a weekend when the weather is go crazy! It is also a royal pain to keep all my clothes instead of packing what I do not need away for the following year!
I will be ready when it is hot daily and I can finally put away my winter clothing! J
I also hope everyone had a fun April Fools day and a good week back in classes, even though it was a yucky half of a week!
I know I'm ready for warmer weather. My boys are especially excited. It really bothers them that we can only get out maybe one day a week to play. It's either raining or spitting snow, or 75 degrees. We are very athletic, but me, personally, can do without getting muddy. Guess that's just part of it!
