Spring Break is over. The rain, the snow, the sun, the lazy, the productive, the hilarious, the movies, the competitions, the adventures, the mistakes. It was good, and I’m glad we had it. And I’m glad we didn’t plan anything or really try to go anywhere farther away than 30 miles. I might have exploded with the craziness of it all.
The back-yard daffodils bloomed in the snow this week. It was glorious, I’m telling you.
Back to school today, and we’re all trying to be glad. I am. I get to teach Kid 3’s Class of Fifth Grade Brilliance. Seriously, this class is amazing. The most well-behaved, intelligent, eager kids. We’re going to have some fun, I’m telling you. And later this week, I get to go back to Mrs. G’s 8th grade honors literature classes and see how they’re doing on their April version of NaNoWriMo. It was a blast to teach them “how to write a novel in a month,” even if I offended their sensibilities by telling them that at the end of April, they’d have a grand sense of accomplishment and a really terrible draft of a novel. (Most of them forgave me for saying so.)
Keep the comments coming for the giveaway, and I’ll draw a winner or two (two — you knew that already) on Wednesday.
Happy Monday. Hope it really is.

Yes, spring break is definitely over. I knew that when my alarm chimed at 6:15 this morning. (Yawn!)
Still waiting for our backyard tulips. They’re up but haven’t bloomed yet, and it really is one of my favorite things about living here in my little tiny treehouse.

They’re doing a NaNoWriMo? That is awesome! What better way to teach about writing than actually doing it. So cool!

My mother’s daffodils bloomed this last week or two and I just stood in her yard today, staring at them. Such happy little flowers.
Hooray for flowers, for April-Nano (kid version), and for the general happy all over this post!
