Currently: August

You just gotta love Farley.  She's hilarious.  And you definitely gotta love her monthly Currentlies.  That's not a word.  But I wrote it anyway, 'cuz I wanted to.  I also ended that sentence with "to."  So there.

Please stop over at Farley's blog and link up/check out all the awesome blogs!  (Click her button above to visit the Linky Party.)  Thanks, Farley, for creating the cute template and for hosting, as always!  Be sure if you link up to go visit the 2  bloggers who linked up before you and then check back and visit the one who links up after you--and leave them comments!  Share the comment love, people!  A short comment can make a blogger's day, right?!

Here is my Currently for this month.

Seriously.  How is summer vacation already almost over?!  I should count myself lucky that I don't go back for in service until the 20th.  But I just dread leaving my baby boy again.  I feel like it's going to be even harder this year than it was last because he is at such a great age, learning and doing so much.  Last year I was pretty much a breastfeeding, sleep deprived zombie when I returned to work.  This year I really will feel like I'm missing out by being away from him all day.  :(  But until we win the lottery...ha!  Anyway, at least I love what I do, and I love my co-workers.  That definitely makes it easier.

So, I've mentioned before that I'm changing my classroom up a bit to just decorating with black, teal, and lime green this year.  I've been on a manhunt for some black baskets/tubs that I could put in my class library to hold my books, and I FINALLY found some today at Dollar General.  I sort of had to trek across creation since there's not a DG near me, but I found my baskets, whoo hoo!  They only had 18, so now I have my mom joining in the manhunt to find me more, lol!

I have been on a crafting SPREE this week, so I can't wait to link up on Monday for Monday Made It! I've got lots to share.  Or at least a few things.  Hard to keep track.  

I am the "Keeper of the Chocolate" in our hallway, so I must always be stocked up during the school year.  I used to keep the chocolate in a basket near my desk, but this past year I had a child who we'll call "Sheila" who had sticky fingers, if ya know what I mean.  One day I noticed I had way fewer Mini Snickers bars than the day before.  So I had to relocate my beloved chocolate to inside my desk drawer.  :)  Sometimes other teachers from other hallways even send their kids to me for chocolate.  It's pretty funny.  Desperate times, you know.

So that about does it.  :)  I was going to write a post showing pics of my classroom from last year, but I can't find the pics on either of my flash drives!  I'm going to check if they're saved on my remote hard drive.  Let's hope so!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, peeps!
