Currently...where did August come from?

So it's August...how did that happen? I cannot believe how fast the summer has gone and I still have so much I want/need to do still!

Anyways, I'm linking up with Farley From Oh Boy Fourth Grade for her currently linky! I love completing these every month, except it always ends up being a reminder of how quickly my month has flown by.

Here's what I'm up to, currently...

My husband and I are on the very last season of How I Met Your Mother on Netflix and just found out who the mother is and of course netflix is freezing up now! Ahh!

We bought a house at the beginning of the year so we would have a place to live after we got married! I am so very blessed to have a husband who is a great handyman.  We've had a few issues within the past month...sump pump, lack of back or front door steps. But this man is absolutely wonderful and has taken on all of the issues we have come across!

I am so not ready for school to start back up.  I am switching grade levels this year and had to move everything out of my previous room, but cannot do anything in my new room until the 17th. My dining room and basement are a bit of a school storm at this point.  I feel like I have so much that needs to be prepared, but on that same token there is only so much that I can actually do at home. I am very jealous of those of you who are able to spend time in your classroom over the summer as you wish!

I really want this summer to slow down. I am needing a last little bit of summer fun...not sure what that will entail seeing as the hubs is super busy at the farm during this time of the year.  But I want one more little summer hoorah before we are both super busy! And I absolutely MUST go through the last of my upper elementary boxes so I make sure I have all the things I need before school starts!

I love the idea of Random Acts of Kindness. I try and do something like this throughout the school year because I think we as educators sometimes need a little pick me up. So this year, I am planning to put fun little notes and pick me ups out for my colleagues especially during the first week when we have tons of meetings and then the crazy grind of starting back with students!

So on all those little notes, I'm off to enjoy a little Sunday Summertime!

  1. Hi Laura! My husband and I are teachers and our basement looks like a school supply store, before we bought our house we rented a storage unit for all of our stuff.... I'm also moving grades {from 5th to 4th} this year and there's a lot of stuff I have to go through I feel your pain!

  2. Enjoy every last minute of your summer with nothing but FUN! Congrats on the new house :) I totally get the teacher stuff problem. I live in a 700 sq. ft. apartment so you can imagine how this is a huge problem for me!!

  3. I'm sorry that you haven't been able to get into your classroom! That must be so stressful! Take some time to do something new and exciting, so you feel ready to go back!
