10 Reasons March Makes Us Stabby

35 Replies

Spring has clearly missed the on-ramp this year. Why are we still getting snowed in, on, and around??

Erin: March is in like a lion, out like a lamb, and all that. 

Ellen: Well, I’m ready for some lamb chops. It’s been especially brutal this year.

Erin: Grrr! It makes me stabby. Like Brutus.

Ellen: Nice Ides of March reference.

Erin: I guess we could take comfort that we’re not having as bad a March as Caesar did. There’s that.

Ellen: Et tu, Brute? Let’s swing this shamrock back to the 21st century.

10 Reasons March Makes Us Stabby

 

1)  Chores Multiply Exponentially

March dials it up a notch.  Now in addition to the massive amount of spring cleaning inside, it’s time to cut back the bushes and clear the detritus from the flowerbeds outside too. We could probably hear March maniacally laughing, but in this thirty degree weather we’re wearing earmuffs to pull weeds. Probably best to just leave it for the kids to do during summer break anyway.

2) Schizoid Wardrobe

Oh March, you are one wild and crazy girl! One day we have to pile on the sweaters and the next we’re looking for a tank top. And footwear? Fuggedaboutit! Can you please just let us pack away the snow pants and mittens? We call mercy!

3) Hokey Holidays

St. Patty’s Day?  Who is this holiday really for? Preschoolers and college kids, that’s who. If you’re not making glittered shamrocks or guzzling whiskey and green beer, what’s really the point? Besides, true Irish girls drink whiskey every day of the year. Or so we’ve heard.

4) It’s cold

That damn groundhog is on our hit list. Brrrrrrrr. Everyone is cold, cranky, and stabby. We are over these blocks of ice we call feet. Truly.

5) Calendar Clustermuck

Winter sports are not over and spring sports have already begun. Have you seen our complicated calendars?? You’re hitting us where it hurts, March. We are not happy and we’re taking names.

6) Early Easter

We don’t mind wearing sweaters over our Easter best, but we would rather not have to don the old parkas too. Who wants an Easter picture where the kids look like they’re hitting the slopes instead of hunting for eggs?

7) Daylight Savings Time Blues

Our more seasoned internal clocks don’t spring forward like they used to. We can’t fall asleep an hour early that first night, and it’s all downhill from there. By the end of the week, we’re the crazy ladies in the supermarket talking to our tomatoes. And our kids? Shudder.

8) Confused Cart

When you have de-icer and grass seed snuggled together in your cart, even the checkout girl at Home Depot knows you’ve got problems.

9) The Dreadmill

Running on a treadmill in a gym is about as fun as . . . well, as fun as being jerked around by March and her fickle, fickle ways.

10) Did we mention we’re cold??

And so over it. Summer is our time to shine. Bring on the flip-flops, please. Or, at the very least, lose the freezing temps.

But it’s not all moaning and groaning, there is one thing we both LOVE about March:

March Madness

The drama, the brackets, the Cinderella stories, we love it all! But like the rest of March, it comes with a punch.

And this year has been no exception. If your brackets aren’t already in the recycling bin like ours, we need to talk, because you clearly have some connections we might find useful.

Here’s hoping Spring weather truly is right around the corner.

Please don’t fool us April.

    It’s true- st. Patrick’s day is weird. We all dressed up and went to church, but no one was wearing green. I wanted to tell my kids to go pinch people, but I couldn’t bring myself to.

    Stabby! I love it. I don’t blame you for being grumpy. At least we have had a few spring moments here in the Pac NW. I hear ya on not liking early Easter!

    Stabby is one of my favorite colorful words. So, right there, you have a winner. The rest? Yes, yes and yes. March, like the last few weeks of pregnancy, feels like it will never end. Like, it will be perpetually March and, even though we know that’s not true, it still does not make it any less tolerable. And, I’m not a sports girl so my joy-suck is at Defcon 5.

    The snow gear. I had stupidly washed it all to put away and we got hit with a bunch of snow (and a snow day) on Monday.

    Worse than a technical foul.

    For what it’s worth- I live in sunny SoCal so we don’t have all the extrmes of March that you have but it still is a bit sucky over here as well. It’s still cold here (for SoCal) but I have to drive by the beach every day and listen to my kids ask “When are we going to be able to go to the beach? it’s not that cold. We will wear our wetsuits. We’ll just play in the sand.” Yes, you have no sympathy, but listening to your kids repeat any question over and over is annoying. And they are incapable of “just playing in the sand.”

    Don’t forget that most of their warddrobe is summer based so its a constant fight to get them to bring a jacket anywhere or, god forbid, wear long sleeves. And the time change? I feel like it’s constantly 6:15 before I even realized I’m supposed to be making dinner. Flag football, t-ball and basketball are overlapping. And let’s throw in the fact that March tends to be a low point in morale anyway and I’m sooo ready for April… or June;)

    No matter the geographical location, March bites.
