Spring has sprung! Ha, no it hasn’t, unless you live somewhere other than the Northeast, Midwest, or a place with actual seasons. Because despite the calendar telling us the time of tulips should be here and nostril icicles should be over, instead, Elsa’s eternal winter is like, “Hold my beer.” So it’s not surprising that many of us head to warmer weather during spring break. And, it’s also not surprising that many of us don’t. Because money. Also, traveling with kids can suck worse than having an infected toenail turn to gangrene.
Therefore, lots of us parents have spent the last few weeks doing the following: Bitching about the cold. Being stuck inside for a week with our kids, while bitching about the cold. And staring at the dust and clutter we’ve accumulated the past few months, while stuck inside with our kids… and bitching about the cold. And we also know the BEST part—spring sports!–is just around the corner. Yay! (*cries*)

So we tweet about it.

You’re getting me out of a soccer game!”A parent’s lullaby.

The weather is warming up so now the kids can finally go outside and get some fresh air while they play on their phones.

5-year-old: When do we have to go back to school?
Me: Monday.
5: *slides me a penny* When now?

“That’s a very pretty cardigan. Did you buy it just for spring break?”

My wife is getting rid of all the clutter. If you see the kids and me standing out by the street, it means we didn’t make the cut this year.

It’s the first day of Spring, or as we in the northeast like to call it, the first day of probably another month or so of winter.

I told my kids “No tv during spring break” and then we laughed and laughed.

After this week, if I don’t get an “I survived spring break” t-shirt, I’m gonna be pissed.

To the first, hopeful crocuses that poked through the soil, only to be suffocated now by icy, unseasonal snow:

It’s that time of year again when I can’t decide if I should start my spring cleaning or set the house on fire.

Spring cleaning is just Mom yelling at everyone to pick up their crap in nicer weather.

If you zoom in enough you can write “spring break” in your kid’s sandbox and the pictures will look like you’re at the beach.

Spent 3 hours at IKEA yesterday so now my kids can’t say we didn’t go anywhere over spring break.

“STOP MAKING SOUNDS!”

[adsanity id=”35666″ align=”aligncenter”/]Spring has sprung! Flowers blooming, vacations, kids home, fighting siblings, bloody noses, tears, boredom…How do we unspring this thing?

Ahhh, don’t you feel better? Yeah, me neither. But that’s spring for ya—the season we look forward to all winter that usually ends up sucking ass. Personally, my fave part is that in our house, baseball season starts soon, so our Saturdays will be spent standing outside for 5 straight hours in freezing drizzle while our kids ask us 800 times how many more innings are left and if they can have a snack. LET’S DO THIS, BITCHES.
