These springtime temps are the reason I have trust issues!

It is 73° (22° C) and it's just now 7 o'clock.
I think they said we made it up to 79° (26° C) today, and it's just March.
It felt good enough that I shed my winter layers.
I felt a bit naked out in nothing but jeans and a sweatshirt.

I still have two of my sons with me.
I don't know when AR will be coming back, so I don't know how long we'll have Heron.
It's nice to have most of my kids together.

Today was the last day of testing. 
Today was an essay for Social Studies.
Badger said they let them stay outside for over an hour today.
I would guess tomorrow they will go back to the regular schedule.
Those kids are sure going to miss outside time.

I hope that they fix morning assembly tomorrow.
We’ve gotten to school early, and they've held the middle school until well past time they should already be in class.
Badger, of course, refuses to go to the gym, so we stand outside while she fusses at me for standing with her.
She has now got to the point where she's embarrassed for me to be with her, which I understand since she is an eighth grader.
However, with how the school treats her, I will stay with her until she goes to class and I know what she is doing and who she is with.
I am tired of all the accusations they make about her.

Cowboy put in new bathtub faucets today. 
It should’ve been a quick job, but the old pipes fought him all day. 
It was worth it, though. 
My shower tonight was the best I’ve had in months.

Badger and the cats stayed out until dark. 
The cats love this warm weather, even if the neighbors may not. 
I’ve tried keeping them inside, but you can’t make a cat stay in its own yard, and they’re happiest outside.

This week sure has flown by.
Two more days until the weekend.
They're calling for warm temperatures, but storms, so it doesn't look like we'll be able to get outside.
We'll have to find something to get into.

I'm getting off here and going to go finish up my book.
It's about Tom Dula or Tom Dooley.
It's really very interesting.
