Slice of Life - Sunday, March 8

It's Sunday.

Today, I...

• made a tasty egg and sausage breakfast for the family.
• changed the time on a bunch of clocks.
• caught up on school work and graded papers.
• wrote lessons for this week's phase of the short story unit.
• started a new book.
• went through a giant bag full of mail and paid bills.
• cleaned a pile of stuff off the kitchen counter.
• talked to my mom on the phone.
• finished all the laundry.
• hung out with my family.
• smuggled my dog.

It's been a long and busy day.  The time change will hit hard tomorrow morning.  I am not looking forward to that.  I am, however, thrilled that I will be starting the week off on the right foot with things ready to go.

I know from previous experiences, it will be a tough week for the girls, and my students, as they adjust to the time change.

The sun was out today and the temperature was in the mid 40s.  It was absolutely beautiful as the snow melted, puddles gathered on the back patio, and little birds could be chirping in the backyard.  Today was the first day that I actually felt like spring is on its way.  

Let's hope we've seen the last of the snow and cold.
