Anyone else just NEED it to be summer?

[RoxMonster]

The past two weekends were so gorgeous and felt like summer. 80s, sunny, we put out all our patio furniture and spent the whole weekend outdoors.

This weekend was cold, rainy, and cloudy and I just feel so BLAH. It's been this way all week. It definitely messes with my moods, and I just need the sunshine and warmth. I am researching things for our summer getaway for our anniversary and reading about hiking and kayaking and beaches and I'm just like, I NEED THIS NOW. I would even take, like 65 if it was sunny and I could be outdoors.

Anyone else feeling this way, especially those that live in cold climates? Our winter this year was actually pretty mild, relatively speaking, so I don't know why I am getting spring fever so much worse this year but I am.

God, yes. I do not handle grey skies well. I was all set to do an awesome outside workout last week and then the weather turned shitty. I really need it to dry out and be sunny again.

[katfco]

I just want it to be June 3. I have 23 school days left until I'm free--to do what, I don't know, but at least I'll be free.

We have 6 inches of snow on the ground and a wind chill of about 15. I'm ready for spring.

[BaliHai]

YES. I sent my bff a series of texts earlier about this very thing (lucky her, lol) and how I'm in such a rotten mood today because it's May 1 and was rainy and barely broke 50 degrees. Winter had its chance and didn't take it, so the cold needs to gtfo now!

Yes, I could have written your post, word for word.

The only thing I will say is that the crappy weather doesn't make me feel as depressed about not being able to go for a walk or really do anything outdoors besides sit. While I loved sitting outside, it sucked to watch everyone walk/ride by & wish I could do the same. Summer should mean some family walks again!

[KKD]

Yes. I LOVE summer. I don't even care that it means I have the kids home with me all day every day because we get to live a total life of leisure during the summer. Beach, pool, playground, repeat.

We've had a lot of really nice days lately but this weekend has been cold and rainy. I'm more than ready for consistently warm weather.

[hungrycaterpillar]

I live in Texas. Summer can wait just a little longer.

[Deleted]

Yes. I'm depressed and I'm pretty sure the rain, cold, and cloudy skies are contributing factors.

I'm over my co-teacher and am anxiously counting down the days til summer. The one is BEC to me. We get out at the end of this month!

[textbookcase]

I hate summer. 120+ degrees can bite my ass. I'm sorry about your cold, though.

[cherryvalance]

I'm dying to open my pool. Instead, I am shivering in fleece. Screw you, nature!

[RoxMonster]

Yeah I don't want 120 in the summer. I need to move south in the winter and then come back up north in the summer. I wish I had the money/job to do this!

Please tell me you're not my cousin.

Nope, not that bad! Though I let my students put the countdown up on the front board, but other than that, I am just telling my dogs how many more weeks they have left in the crate before they're uncrated all summer.

Word.  We don't officially get out until later in June, but I am 100% DONE with my seniors, and their last day is in only three weeks.  I'm going to dance around the room and sing the day they all leave for the last time.

I've been done with my kids since December, when I realized it wasn't going to get any better. I admit, I have quite a bit of senioritis, because I know I'm not going back there next year. I told DH I'd rather be unemployed than work there again.

She does this for every holiday. And basically starts counting down right after the last holiday.

I want to punch her in the face.

That's how I feel about coworker. She's been counting down the "instructional days" left since January. Way to help the students disengage super early!

I was thisclose to throwing in the towel at my school after the shenanigans I've experienced this year, but have agreed to come back with some very specific scheduling conditions.  I've never looked forward to a summer break the way I'm looking forward to this one.

[waffletime]

Yes, which is one of the reasons I moved 1200 miles south. It's been awesome and consistently high 70s for like the last three weeks. Yusssssss.

[litebright]

I am ready. The snow has finally stopped after three days (no accumulation, but STILL!).

I am taking comfort in the fact that it's supposed to hit 80 by Thursday.

[Ohhmm(bligo)]

Yes. I want to GARDEN and CAMP and HIKE.

Same but Florida. It's already starting to get gross out.

This. It's already miserable, I'm ready for summer to be over.

[jssymom14]

Yes! I want a track meet that I don't need to hope that DH's heavier coat will zip up over my growing belly or that I won't get sick due to raining on me for six straight hours. We have six more days with seniors and 17 with students. I need to get my plans ready for maternity leave at the start of school year but until it gets warmer, it doesn't feel like end of school year.

I'm sort of scared for summer. It's like 30C right now. It was also 30 degrees a few week ago. APRIL! I feel like this summer's going to be a scorcher.

Also, we have had next to no rain this spring. I'm so worried about wildfires.

[Deleted]

Oh man. I'm so hot already. Lol. It's going to be close to 100 heat index this week.

OMFG no. No no no no no no. No.

It's like a physical dread that I feel when summer starts. Today was 90ish and it was just a tease of how mofucking hot it will get.

Lol.

This as well!

This is how I would describe how I feel when winter is approaching!
