Thursday Ten: Wherein a Foot of Snow Turns Into 70 Degrees Edition

Last week, mother nature walloped us with a ton of snow – in my neck of the woods, we received over a foot of snow in 24 hours. This week, temps hit 70 and all the snow melted away. While I’m not complaining, this weather pattern has made for a kooky winter. And now March is quite nearly half over, and whoa nelly. This year is zipping along.
I am concerned that the United States is all sniffing glue. This election season is making me shake my head in complete and total confusion. How the hell is Trump even a thing? Can we wake up from that bad dream anytime soon?
We’re already getting to that time of year where school activities are taking over life. Just this week there have been two rounds of parent teacher conferences and a choir concert. Usually, it seems this hits a wee bit later in the year – typically, we hit spring break and then it’s a downward slope of one thing happening after another. We’re getting a jump on it this year.
I’m so tired this week – and it’s a bummer with this magic weather that I’m so tuckered out… but I haven’t slept well and I hate that, waking up in the middle of the night and never truly feeling rested. I suspect it will only be worse after the clocks spring forward this weekend.
By the way, don’t forget to set your clocks forward.
And check your smoke detectors.
I just accidentally saw a Facebook picture with a snake in it so I’m sure I won’t sleep tonight either.
I’ve been trying to read Mindy Kaling’s new book for a week now and I’m not getting very far. What are you reading?
Sometimes there just aren’t enough rocks.
Friday is almost here again. This is a good thing. I just finished a weekend and yet… I’m ready for one again.
