Currently September


I think this is the first time in a long time that I am actually linking up with Farley on the 1st of the month for Currently.  How in the world is it September 1st already?  I just finished my first week of school with 26 second graders, so this long weekend was just what I needed to recover and recharge. 


Listening: Football has been on the TV all weekend.  My husband and I both love football, both college and NFL.  Our Fantasy Football draft was on Saturday, so we’ve been watching NFL Network to set our line ups for week 1. 

Loving: My birthday is next Saturday and I can’t wait to celebrate with my friends.  A few friends are traveling up from Southern California for the weekend.  I miss living close to these friends, so I enjoy every minute we get to be together. 

Thinking: I have a to-do list a mile long to prepare for the third week of school and my birthday weekend.  My plans are done for next week, but I feel like I should be working on the following week’s plans since I won’t have time next weekend.

Wanting: I have been keeping four students after school each day to complete all of the beginning of the year assessments.  I am loving all the information I am gaining about my new kiddos, but it is tedious.  I should be done by Thursday…fingers-crossed.

Needing: I made it to the gym before work four days last week.  I think this is a routine I can keep up with because I get my workout over and done with before the school day even starts.  I no longer dread going to the gym after a long day.  I need to make it to the gym today so that I start this week off on a good note.

3 Trips: I would love to visit both Norway and Ireland to see where my ancestors came from.  Luckily, my husband and I know people who live in both countries.  This makes trips there a little more feasible.  I would also love to go to Belize.  It looks beautiful and a great place to try diving for the first time.

  2. I need to so need to start a routine with the gym or walking before/after school. If I would get my butt up in the mornings I would feel better and do it...but that is something I have never been able to do. Maybe this will be the year lol. I love some football. Best of luck with your fantasy league!

    1. Thanks Bagby! I highly recommend trying to workout in the mornings. I am half-asleep while getting ready since it has become a routine. I don't dread going to the gym anymore.
