Another Winter

Today we had our 4th or 5th return of winter in the Chicagoland area. 

It seems somehow that every Thursday (my recess supervision day) the weather turns. Today was wet and dark and cold. 

Add that to the fact that there is only one more day until spring break, and that our students are on a forced break from organized sports, recess was not very fun today. 

I am grateful I ran back inside this morning for my winter coat. One of the other supervisors had not thought to bring a coat, but at least had gloves!

I like to try to live by the old saying "There's no bad weather, only wrong gear."

But today definitely felt like bad weather.

Reminds me of my first year. I was a sub and for whatever reason I always thought today would be the day they don't make the sub do recess duty. It never was. I shivered in Chicago winter at probably each of our 6 schools that year. 25 minutes of bad. I thought teachers just work sport jackets. The real teachers and the recess pros would just look at me waiting to see which body parts would succumb to frost bite first. Why do we live here? Haha - good post.

Yes - our weather here in Chicagoland has been awful this week! My head won't stop pounding from the up & down in temps. Glad you are on spring break this week!

It is definitely more on the gloomy side this week! Hopefully we will enjoy some spring flowers soon.
