Spring Fever

I almost feel like we should be on summer vacation.  The weather isn't great, though it is warm and sunny, but the wind is whipping and it has a nip to it for sure.  But I am feeling lazy these days.  Maybe it is just recovering from the illnesses in the last few weeks, but I don't feel like doing school work.  I just want to sit and play with bubbles and I really want to plant some flowers (though they will freeze if I do it this early), or maybe read a book and I certainly don't want to finish the spring cleaning or the laundry.  I don't want to think about lesson plans or any plans for that matter.  I just want to do nothing.  I am not feeling particularly sad or depressed or grumpy, just lazy.  I sound like I am naming dwarfs here.

But, I have made the kids do a little work today.  They have done their core subjects even though I was half hearted in my attempt to make it sound meaningful.  I have been going full force though for a while with our American history unit study, and I think maybe I am a bit burnt out.  I still have a few lessons left in it as well.  And I do plan on getting to them this week and maybe a bit into next to finish it up.  And I really wanted to get to the Civil War this school year, though right now I am contemplating rescheduling it for another time.

Whatever shall I do.... I think I will go pour myself a glass of sun tea and think on it a bit more...
