Currently...

In one week, I will have officially finished my first day back at work! It's really crazy what is going to happen in the next two weeks before my new group of kids come on the 18th!


Sitting here trying (unsuccessfully) to plan for the upcoming school year.
Listening...I love me some NeedtoBreathe! I have to smile when I think about them!  I went to high school/ college with them and never would have thought this would be their life! However, I'm super proud and love watching their success!

Loving...I've been working out on a fairly regular basis since the spring. I found a place I love to go that's full of amazing and supportive people! I ordered my MOH dress in April and received it at the end of June. I was freaking out when I brought it home because I could barely get the zipper up. I tried it on two days ago to see if there was any progress and it's a smidgen too big! Happy dance! The wedding is in 7 weeks...I do believe things will be okay! :)

Thinking...I have a group of friends on FB who committed to setting a goal/ resolution each month instead of failing miserably a one or two goals at the beginning of the year. I tend to become really anti-social at the beginning of each school year so my goal for August is to have dessert once a week at a local restaurant. I don't eat out much and when I do, I'm always too full for dessert. I was going to change my goal, but now that my MOH dress fits...it's a go!

Wanting...This is the third time my car has been in the shop since February. It has caused me much stress and makes me want to move to a city where I could live in walking distance to everything I need! I haven't gotten any phone calls so I'm hoping the work is going smoothly and there are no hiccups that would cause my bank account to cease to exist!

Needing...I cannot get into my classroom. Normally, I'd be okay with this. This year, I'm a little anxious. We return on Monday, August 11th. We meet our kids and parents on the 13th. I'm hoping to have things looking presentable by the time they arrive! Hope there are some fairies that magically set up classrooms!

Now...I'll get to work!
Be sure to check out Teachers Pay Teachers! The sale ends August 5th!
Hope everyone has a great school year!

The Final Countdown...

Yesterday, I was so tickled to wake up and see that I sold my first product through TpT! This quickly reminded me that I have a job that I've been neglecting to prepare for (minus the countless hours I've spent on Pinterest this summer)! After looking at the school calendar, I realized I have two weeks before I return to school and three before I meet my new kiddos! Where in the world did the summer go?!? I find this difficult to comprehend and overwhelming! There is so much to do before the craziness of beginning another school year arrives.
I should probably upload all the pictures from last year and the summer break. I know there is some really good stuff I meant to blog about. Hopefully, I 'll be able to share of highlights over the next few days.
Thinking back, this past year was a crazy one for the record books! Cheers to time healing battle wounds!
This year's mantra:
