July Currently

July 1, 2015 By fancyfreein4th

JULY! It is one of my favorite months of the year! It is Summer Break, my wedding anniversary is July 4th, it’s my both my daughter and my birthday month AND it’s the VEGAS TpT Conference!!! So let’s start this month off right with this month’s Currently brought to you by one of my bloggy crushes, Farley, who I am crossing my fingers (and toes) to meet in Vegas!

1) Listening: Ok…. If you haven’t listened/heard to the Serial Podcast… drop everything and DOWNLOAD it NOW!  It is like Law and Order -plus- This American Life -multiplied by- Audible.com.  It is soooo good. I know I am late on this bandwagon, but I can’t wait to listen to alll of it!

2) Loving: Being on break. It hasn’t felt like Summer Vacay yet… it feels like Thanksgiving Break.  I have had 9 great days thus far.  It has been awesome relaxing, seeing friends, going to the beach and “sleeping in” (5:30 AM is my internal clock, so 7:00 is like GROSSLY sleeping in!)

3) Thinking:  We are going to be gone the ENTIRE month of July. We even rented our house to a good friend for the month.  So, we need to pack for a month.  Family of 4… 3 Vacations in a month…WHEwwww. #nightmare.

4) Wanting: Someone to pack for me… see #3

5) Needing: To Figure out my Vegas Schedule. I need to get this planned out. It’s my first time… I am nervous… I am excited…. there are so many meet ups…. there are so many people!!! AHH!!!! Can’t wait!

6) All Star: I am an all star multi tasker. I am great at juggling responsibilities, planning, arranging, problem solving and getting stuff DONE. It is one of my favorite qualities about myself.

Can’t wait to see you all in Vegas, to learn so much and to read your Currently’s along the way!

There’s so much advice I would tell first year- There’s so much advice I would tell first year- teacher-me…. Especially after the last (almost) 2 years of teaching; barely afloat. This year is so hard. I have to stop regularly and tell my student teacher, “it’s never been like this”. But to my core, it’s always been- children first, relationships first, or nothing else matters. Though this year is tough in new ways, there’s still much hope and laughter each day. Thanks @eveleon26 for reminding me of my first, wonderful year of teaching- so I can bring that energy, excitement each day- no matter the circumstance. For all of my teacher friends out there, I see you- I know it’s hard- and I’m grateful for you. (P.S-it’s almost winter break, you got this!) #tiredteacher #cleareyesfullheartscantlose
