With Easter and DST coming so early this year, it's making winter seem far shorter than usual. I remember last year chaperoning the school egg hunt, and thinking how sad it was that the school year was almost over. I am barely used to the idea of my daughter as a second grader, and now she's almost a third grader. I remember meeting the third grade teacher and thinking it would be forever before my daughter was in her class: well, forever is here!

When my daughter was young, I found time changes to be extremely wrenching, especially because my daughter didn't really 'get' them. As she gets older, they get easier again, but still, I don't enjoy them.
