Here is my first Currently, thank you Farely for letting me link up with you!
Listening: My husband keeps switching between three different soccer games on TV. I love the sounds of the crowds at soccer games. The drums and chanting just have a flow to it that sucks me in.
Loving: I was loving the fact that I thought my daughter was asleep. The key word being thought. No sooner had I saved this but I hear her little voice from her room telling stories and singing songs to her stuffed animals. Then she came out of her room, yelled at the cat, started a pet stampede and was run over by our 14 pound cat and chased by our 60 pound dog. Hysterical crying and much mommy calming ensued. She is a trip. So I guess I am loving that we still have baby gates even though she is 4 so that she won't come out again.
Thinking: I am bordering on a panic attack about school. In my county teachers start onMonday the 12th, we have orientation Thursday night, and hte students come back on the 19th. We never know how many meeting and trainings we will be in that first week until we have our first faculty meeting on Monday. In the lovely state of Florida our schools are graded based on a high stakes test that the students take. Our school dropped a letter grade for the second year in a row which means that we will have lots of school board interventions this year which I can only assume will startthe first week. I am freaking out a little bit because I was hoping to have time to get my classroom together but I am thinking that won't be happening so I will have to go into school early next week and lose time with my daughter :(
Wanting: I have been toying with the idea of selling 31 gifts. I sold Avon for a while and didn't have much luck with it. I don't really need another job for money but I think it would be nice to connect with people in a new way and the discount would be great since I am slightly bag obsessed. Any input/advice would be great. I have been praying on it and so far have recieved mixed signals!
Needing: To finish my personal teacher planner. I made a generic teacher planner for my Teachers Pay Teachers store and I like it but it is not what I want. I am in the process of making myself one and I am hanving a hard time deciding exactly what I want to go in it. The calendar pages are a no brainer but do I want to put actual detailed lesson plan pages in it? We use a new lesson plan template every year at our school and I would like to have my own detailed plans that are in a similar format to what we use at school so that I am not doing twice the work. Maybe I will make a whole separate plan book. Here is a picture of one of the four covers for my planner on TpT.
Must Haves: 1. Diet Mountain Dew. I need caffeine and I don't want the calories, enough said! 2. I bought the chevron utility tote form 31 that I have been eying and went to the container store to get a file box to put in it so that I can use it to bring papers to and from school. It is adorable! I am so glad I bought it. 3. I am not a sitting teacher. I stand almost all day, I just cannot sit. Last year on awards night I had been on my feet for over 11 hours in the cutests pair of gold strappy flat sandals! I limped for 3 days afterwards. I need to take better care of my feet and I have fallen in love with Birkenstocks. I plan to get a new pair every year. This year I am hoping to get this pair of Gizehs!
Well time to get back to my planner!
Thanks,
Mrs. Ocean
