April Currently

Today is April 2nd and I'm linking up with Farley for the April Currently!

Listening: to the peaceful silence in my bedroom. I'm working on this blog post. Avery's in bed, husband's out of town, and animals are actually settled. I have peaceful silence- what!?!?

Loving: Loving all the signs of Spring. I have such a great view of the outside from my classroom window. I noticed today all the trees budding and the new green leaves beginning to pop out. Love it!! Avery and I have been going outside every day when we get home to just be outside in the mild Spring air. I'm really loving this. When Summer comes I know I'll miss the mild days and cool nights.

Thinking: I have jury duty next week. Boo! I would rather be in class with my students. After testing this week and spending the last week reviewing for the test I feel like we haven't spent much quality time together at all. I miss it. I've tried getting out of it and am still holding out for not getting on the jury or it being called off. I'm not going to hold my breath or anything though.

Wanting: With the school year winding down I'm starting to look forward to what's to come next year. I want to start planning for classes next year and what to change or continue.

Needing: I need a new Classroom Friendly Supplies Pencil Sharpener! Only to have another one. Fear not my friends- this is still an amazing pencil sharpener. They have one now for large pencils too!

Hours and Last Day: June 6 at 2PM (assuming no more days added on for the ice storms)

March Currently- Really Late!

I know March is almost over, but I really need to get back to a regular blogging schedule. To get back in my routine I've decided to link up with Farley over at Oh' Boy 4th Grade for her March Currently.

Without further adieu, here is my March Currently!

Listening: I'm listening to the sound of the rain and the thunder. I'm so happy that it's raining and it's not sleet or snow. We've had so many yucky days of snow and ice that I'm pretty happy about the rain. Plus it's a sign of Spring on its way {hopefully}!

Loving: I love the time I've had this week with my family. We spent the time in East Texas with my husband's family. We were able to see our daughter blossom with everyone. She's so close to talking it's hard to believe that she's almost a year and a half. Where does the time go?

Thinking: Even though I have a day left of my break I'm thinking about all that needs to be done when I get back. The papers I should have graded, the books I should have read, etc. My mind never really stops thinking. I'm thankful I'm able to blog to get my thoughts out. 

Wanting: Desperately wanting another Spring Break! Too bad I'm not going to be able to make the Jamaica trip with my husband at the end of April. That would have been perfect. Oh well! Summer is only a few months away.

Needing: A personal assistant. I'll take an intern too! I just need someone else in my life to help me manage everything that I have on my plate.

????????: Yeah...

September Currently

It's September! What?!? Summer is officially over. School is in session everywhere. That can only mean one thing- it's time to link up with Farley at Oh' Boy 4th Grade for September's Currently.

LISTENING: Listening to The Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. My daughter loves watching Mickey and friends. What can I say?

LOVING: Loving the time I'm getting with my family this weekend. I've done absolutely nothing (except on Saturday morning) but spend time with my husband and Avery. It's been wonderful!

THINKING: Thinking about the number of things I need to do before tomorrow. We have Open House tomorrow so that's a long day for Miss Avery and myself.

WANTING: Wanting every weekend to be a 3 day weekend. Think how much more relaxed everyone would be!

NEEDING: Needing absolutely nothing. Right now all is perfect :)

August Currently

Is it possible that it's already August?? Where does the time go? Today I'm linking up with Farley over at Oh Boy 4th Grade for the August Currently.

Listening: I'm listening to the Disney Channel. Right now, it's Sofia the First. Avery's on the floor playing and Disney is on in the background. I always said I'd never be the mom to turn on TV to entertain my kid. Ha! That was a great fleeting thought before I had one!

Loving: I can't say enough how much I've loved spending every minute I've been able to spend with Avery this summer. She is so much fun to play with and watch! Yesterday, we went to the pool and she was able to practice going under the water and "swimming." My eight month old can hold her breath for 6 seconds! Next week she starts daycare so that I can go work in my room and go to some trainings. I think I'm going to be the one that has the problem.

Thinking: This coming school year already has so many changes! We lost a great AP and my department chair. I'm getting a new teacher to teach with (not new to teaching though). I'm starting a literary magazine (scared to death but excited). There's a lot I'm thinking about. I will probably drive my husband, friends, and self crazy. Sorry everyone!

Needing: I need to work in my classroom. Period. I hate waiting until the week of staff development to get work done because that's never enough time! I need to work ASAP!

B2s must haves: I have to make sure there's plenty on my Starbucks card. I'll be stopping daily more than likely! I also need a new tote bag. I have a laptop, a tablet, an iPad, an iPhone, a planner, and all my crap. Suggestions? And of course, lots of pretty pens to play with!
