March Idea Starters
March is here. You can almost smell the spring… or maybe it’s just the faint whiff of leftover winter germs and that one last snowstorm trying to ruin our lives. But hey, we’re getting closer! Every day is one step closer to being able to wear a jacket that doesn’t require thermal underwear underneath. And with a little luck, the sunshine will stop being so sporadic and finally come out to play for more than 45 minutes at a time.
As a busy mom, I’m doing the March dance: praying for days with brighter sunshine, counting down the minutes until Daylight Saving Time finally hits, and maybe imagining a life where I don’t have to ask my kids for the 100th time, “Did you brush your teeth?” (Spoiler alert: They didn’t.) But hey, it’s the small victories, like when I find the missing mittens on March 1st—just in time for a heatwave of 40 degrees.
In the meantime, I’m clinging to this radio station like it’s my lifeline. There’s something about hearing those little bits of encouragement and humor that makes my chaotic mornings feel less insane. Who knew that “March winds” could feel less like a forecast and more like an emotional metaphor for my life, where the winds of chaos blow and I’m just hanging on, hoping for peace to gently sweep in with the change of seasons?
I know it’s almost time to plant something. I mean, sure, I’m supposed to be sowing seeds for the future, but I can barely get a grocery list together without something spilling, so let’s be real. Right now, I’m just planting hope that maybe, just maybe, my kids will stop fighting over who gets the last piece of garlic bread at dinner.
But March is also the month of “lucky” things, right? So here’s hoping that somehow, I’ll get that elusive “day off” I’ve been dreaming about, where no one interrupts my solo shower, and the only thing I have to clean up is the dishes from a quiet dinner—maybe even in peace. (A girl can dream.) And in the meantime, I’ll keep tuning in to this radio station, where someone’s always there to remind me that I’m not alone in this crazy season of life. So here’s to March: the month we almost see spring… and maybe even find a little peace along the way!
