Currently!

Well it has been almost a month since I blogged, EEEK! I told myself I wasn't going to be too super serious about this and let me stress it out, but I should probably try to post more than once a month. It's been super de duper busy since school started. I ended up with 23 students in my class and I'm really excited about this year. Last week was our first full week and they blew my socks off with their abilities on lots of things. I keep telling them if it stays like this all year long they will have ONE HAPPY TEACHER!! Since this is only my second year teaching, this is the first year I've been able to see old students. I absolutely love it! I get so many waves & smiles in the hall. Melts my stinkin heart! I'm a little disappointed because 6 students from my class last year transferred to different schools, so it stinks to not see them!

Well, what better way to get back up & posting than to link up with Farley for a currently?!

LISTENING: There's not a whole lot on TV right now, so Modern Family is always my go to when that happens. Always makes me giggle and I don't have to fully pay attention! 

LOVING: I FINALLYYYYY made the plunge and told the family I babysit for during the week that I can only do it once a month now. It was a super tough decision, but I'm really glad that I did it. Being able to come home & work for a few more hours and then just relax is AMAZING! Plus, I went to bed BEFORE 10 pm the other night-- I literally CANNOT remember the last time that happened. I told my best friend and she asked if I was sick! HA! 

THINKING: I've got a nice pile of homework next to me screaming to be graded. I'm changing things up soon so I'm not spending hours grading homework over the weekends.

WANTING: One of my friends works from 1:30-10, so if I want to hang out with her I have to stay up real late. She came here on Saturday & we stayed up until around 2:30 (then I woke up at 8 the next day of course) and then I went there last night and stayed until 12:30 and then drove home in a terrible storm (and I went into work today at 8 to get some things set up before tomorrow BLECH). I'm not used to these shenanigans anymore! I have no issues staying up late, but I always wake up early now, so only having about 10 hours of sleep the past two days is making me EXHAUSTED! Early bed time tonight, that's for sure!

NEEDING: I always get home and wonder what to make. I really need to get better about making a menu and sticking to it! 

3 TRIPS: I've always wanted to go to Australia! It's definitely my dream. The other two are kind of random, but they're just always places I've thought about going to visit and have never done it before. 

I hope everyone has had an awesome start to the year! If you so choose, go link up! :-)
