Is it summer yet?

I’m so past the “Is it Friday yet?” syndrome and am SO ready for sum-sum-summer time!! I want to walk barefoot on the sidewalk at dusk and feel the warmth still held in the sidewalk. Smell freshly cut grass and suntan lotion. Switch my margaritas out for mojitos and enjoy long, sun-lit evenings. I want to shed the sweaters and jackets and pull out the tank tops, shorts and break in a new pair of flip-flops, preferably with cute little jingling jewels that match the new shade of bright polish on my toes. And this yearning for summer has absolutely NOTHING to do with the fact that I’m a teacher with a classroom bursting at the seams with wiggly, hormone-infused, stir-crazy, are-we-done-yet-this-is-boring-can’t-we-just-watch-the-movie teenagers with attention spans shorter than a gnat’s blink. Absolutely nothing. I promise.

HA!
