Currently 2013

Welcome to 2013! I am linking up yet again with Farley for this month's currently.


I can't believe our break is almost over...  :( I am loving being home and being lazy and just being a mom to my two great kids!

I am headed out to "The Dump" to try to find a new coach in the morning... a little nervous b/c I think they are like shoes, it may seem comfortable in the store but then you sit in it for a while and not so much. But unlike shoes, you are stuck with it for years!

I have about 10 files on my desktop titled "Need to finish for TpT" Sure wish I could actually finish something. Seriously, what is my deal??

The beginning of my school year was rough. Lots of behavior issues and very, very low benchmark scores. I am usually strong in classroom management and my scores are typically good... I am not liking this and I am constantly reflecting and tweaking. Kind of excited for this "new" start and hoping to make the most of it!

OLW: Breathe. I need to slow down, regroup and just breathe. I am way to stressed and it is effecting my family. I need to work on finding a way to not let everything bother me and I need to learn to let go of some things. I become more and more "type A" each year :(

At the beginging of the year we read a book called the Energy Bus and one take away for me was "I'm too blessed to be stressed" That is so true and I know it in my heart but I can't seem to get my brain to understand.

    Hi Heather!

    I love your word "breathe". I need to do that as well. My OCD Type A personality sets in and I get myself stressed out. Good luck finding the perfect couch. Good luck with the rest of your school year. It's so tough when you are amongst a "challenging" year. Happy New Year!

    This has been a rough year for me, too! Out of the 11 years I have been teaching, this has been the hardest. My benchmark scores are lower than normal, yet I have poured more planning time and creating time into my classroom than ever before. I think you are right with your word "breathe"...take it one moment at a time and know you are doing a great job in your classroom. I look forward to reading and exploring your blog more!

    I hate couch shopping! My current couch is so ugly, but so comfortable.
