December Currently!

H.O.W. on earth did it get to be December?!?!?!  I feel like we just started school! 

Maybe I'm getting old (keep your comments nice!) but I swear time is flying by these days!

For those of you who read regularly, I am ONE CLASS away from my Master's Degree.  I have school Wednesday night, then . . . . . .

WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOO!  I'll be D.O.N.Z.O.!!!!

Can you tell how happy I am????

I wanted to explain that part to you before you read my December Currently.  I am always thrilled to hook up with Miss Farley from Oh' Boy 4th Grade to bring you this wonderful monthly post.

 Listening ~ I am currently listening to the poor dog next door.  We have, how can I say this politely?  NOT NICE neighbors!  They don't take care of their home and they don't take care of their kids (5) and they certainly don't take care of their dog!  I feel so bad for the lil guy.  He's always outside barking to get in.  If they don't want to care for a dog, why on earth did they get one?!?!?!  Sorry, rant is over!

Loving ~ Did I mention I only have one more night of class left???

Thinking ~ My birthday was last Friday so my wonderful hubby took me to the Pocono Mountains for a little getaway.  We desperately needed it (see below.)  While we were away, we visited a place with over 100 outlet stores.  They had every store I could think of.....from North Face, Coach, and Ann Taylor to Nike, Gap and Fossil.  Needless to say my wallet came home a whole lot emptier but it was a blast! 

Wanting ~ My hubs currently works 2nd shift which causes quite a problem for us.  When I leave for work he is sleeping.  When I get home from work he's already at work.  When he gets done I'm sleeping.  Do you see the problem?  I'm hoping a position in his field becomes open on first shift so we can have a real life again!

Needing ~ I started with a horrible cold last Monday night and although I feel better I can't seem to get rid of the cough!  Stocked up on cough drops tonight so hopefully that will help!

Giving ~ Our school offers a Holiday Program which I run (in all my spare time!)  I can't wait to start shopping for the kiddies I picked.  We are helping over 100 of our students this holiday season.  All of the teachers sponsor a child/children and purchase gifts for them.  I have a whopping 8 kids this year to buy for.  I love that I am financially able to give back!  Each one of my own children sponsors a child too!  I'm a proud mama!

Well thanks for stopping by and checking out my currently.  Now that school is {almost} over I will definitely be getting some products made again.  I have a list longer than Santa!  Have a great December!

P.S. Did you like my color scheme?  I'm such a nerd :)

November Currently

Well I may officially be the worst blogger E.V.E.R. but I can definitely find the time to hook up with Farley for her November edition of Currently!

 

Listening ~ Yes, believe it or not, I'm sitting here typing away listening to my hubs watch a dumb fishing show.  I can't even begin to fathom why people watch shows about someone else catching a fish.  Now, I'm certainly not a fishing-gal (as if that wasn't obvious) but really?  An entire 30-minute show dedicated to catching fish!?!?!  

Loving ~ I cannot believe I'm down to my last 3 classes!!!!  I'm going out kicking and screaming all the way but I'm so darn close I can taste it!  I'm done the first week of December and you better believe there will be a BIG OLE post about it!!!!

Thinking ~ I feel terrible guilt.  About anything.  About everything.  Always.  Since August, I have completely neglected my blog.  And my TpT Store.  And all of you.  I'm sorry!  I think about blogging all the time......does that count?

Wanting ~  I seriously need a break!  A LONG one!  I've been working 12-14 hour days since the middle of August.  Weekends too.  UGH, c'mon Christmas break!

Needing ~  See "Wanting"

Reading ~ I am reading the Pedigogy of Language Development.  For one of my grad classes.  Not by choice.  Synopsis:  Kids are born.  They acquire language.  They speak.  The end.  I just saved you $100 bucks!

Since it's November, the month of thankfulness, I figured I should add a blurp about what I am thankful for.  So here it goes.....

Thankful ~  I am thankful to have a good, solid roof over my head.  I am thankful for a beautiful, healthy family.  I am thankful for me wonderfully supportive work family (I couldn't make it through the day without them!) I am thankful to have a good paying job.  I am thankful for my students (most days.)  I am thankful for my wonderful blog / TpT followers!!!!!

Don't forget to head back to Farley's page and check out the other November Currently's!  Thanks for stopping by!  Happy November!

August Currently!

I am hooking up today with Farley from Oh'Boy 4th Grade.  I just L.O.V.E. her currently editions each month.  She cracks me up!  So, here we go!

 

Listening ~ I'm totally obsessed with the ZBB lately.  My family is like, "Seriously. Enough already!"  We have this strange gene in my family where we can listen to something over and over an not get sick of it, lol.  Well I definitely got that gene!  Wish I got the "skinny gene" instead!

Loving ~ Okay, this is more of a love/hate.  I love seeing all the pictures popping up lately of finished, perfect classrooms.  UGH!  I also secretly hate them!  I mean, seriously, did you check out Tunstall's Teaching Tidbits yet?  I want to hug her and hurt her all at the same time!  Honestly, I just love her ability to pull a room together.  Every year she out-does the year before.  Love her!

Thinking ~ Okay, now this one is a lil bit my fault.  I stress over everything.  Really....E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G.!  So it may have been the last week in July when I began stressing that there was only 4 weeks left of summer for me (I go back 8/19).  Yes, I know!  I spend more time stressing than enjoying!  Well, I have only 2 weeks left now so I have every single day planned out so that I make sure I accomplish something this summer!  I think I'm going to paint the laundry room tomorrow.  Color suggestions????

Wanting ~ See above!

Needing ~ I have one day scheduled as a pamper-myself kind of day.  Facial, mani/pedi, etc.  Can't wait!  I'm going to my first kick-boxing class next week too.  That should pretty much ensure that I can't walk again until school starts!

1st Day ~ YIKES!  This is my first year in this position so I'm kind of clueless.  I'm a planner.....we DON'T like clueless! We like lists and neatly planned out activities.  This should be interesting!

Hope you enjoyed!  Don't forget to follow me on here, TpT and Facebook to get exclusive offers!

Head on back to Oh'Boy 4th Grade to read some of the other "Currently's".  Tootles~
