Assess Me #2

Yay week 2!!

homebody or busy bee: I like to be busy, always have to be doing something, but it can be at home, where I mostly am.

tea or coffee: I find both gross. However I could never say no to a diet Dr. Pepper

early bird or night owl: I am whatever I have to be. During the school year I'm an early bird, but during the summer night owl all the way (with naps, of course).

Girls or The New Girl: I haven't seen either, but I could watch Gilmore Girls a trillion times.

Sunday Scoop 8/2

My favorite part of Sunday!

Have to do:

1. My teacher bag is spread out on the dinning area floor, so I need to find it all and put it back together for work days this week.
2. The laundry is washed and dried, but sitting in the laundry basket waiting to be put away, it really is the worst part of laundry.
3. I really hate making my lunch for school, but I think I have a plan to make myself do it daily, and not just grab whatever is laying around and then be hungry 5 minutes later.

Hope to do:

1. I am so excited for school! I just know I am going to have a hard time sleeping because of it.
2. Sometimes getting the energy to go to Zumba is hard, I mean the couch is just so comfy.

Happy to do:

1. I am so happy/excited to get back to school! I also get to meet our new teammates. I really hope we get some good ones to replace the ones from last year (it will be hard to replace the ones that left).

August Currently

I have been waiting most of the day for Farley to post the August Currently, because I actually remembered about this awesome linky today!

Listening: The Glee Pandora station is amazing to listen to, especially while reading.

Loving: All the time I get to spend with my dogs over the summer. Not getting this extra time will be the worst part about going back to school.

Thinking: I think as teachers we all feel this way, a lot.

Wanting: My husband makes his own version of hamburger helper, and it rocks! He doesn't eat red meat so we use ground chicken, egg noodles, chili seasoning, and of course cheese. So yummy!

Needing: You know that picture tat says something like"this summer is going by too slowly - said no teacher ever." Well, I am the teacher that has said this multiple times this summer. I am ready to go back and do what I love. I have felt like a part of me is missing all summer.

B2S RAK: I made cute notebooks for my team to hold all of our meeting notes. I know throughout the school year though I will give those teachers that need it a smile, and ear, and some chocolate when they are in need.

5 for Friday

This is my last Friday of vacation! I am ready to get back to work, not ready to get out of PJs daily.

I tried a new recipe this week: baked wonton mozzarella cheese sticks.

They are AMAZING! I had them 3 days in a row. I could only find the smaller wonton wrappers, so I cut my cheese stick into thirds, wrapped, and baked! I am still perfecting the wrapping part so the cheese doesn't ooze out so much during baking.

My power went out yesterday for like an hour while the feel like temperature was 97. I do not know how people go without central air or a fan during this horrible heat.

I really have done nothing this week and am having a hard time coming up with 5 things. Most of the week was spent watching mindless TV and waiting for the bill from our old apartment to come. Drake ruined part of the carpet and I know we'll have to pay for it, but I have no clue how much, or if they're going to "find" more stuff to charge us with. So I sit here and wait for that. When I see the mailman go by, I get all excited and run to the mailbox to be disappointed.

I went to Zumba twice this week after not going for a long time. It felt good, though why do they have to have the music soooooo loud. I have no problem with it being loud, but there is a point when it is just too much and I begin worrying about everyone's ear health.

Assess Me #1

I was looking through my Bloglovin' feed and saw a bunch of people doing this nifty linky, so I had to!!

 

Sunday Scoop

Have to:

1. Laundry is already done, so I need to go grocery shopping this morning. I have almost nothing.
2. Everything is pretty much unpacked, but the dinning table is the catch all for things we just don't know where to put things. We are also setting Drake's kennel up in there and that needs to be done too.
3. Our pictures are just hanging out against the wall, on the floor, instead of on the walls where I would like them.

Hope to:

1. I have two books I want to read, I just need the motivation.
2. The dogs refuse to let me sleep in, today I made it to 7 at least. I'd love 2 days where I can sleep until 8 and lay in bed until 9.

Happy to:

1. I go back to school next Monday, so I am happy to enjoy my last week laying around with no set time to do anything!

Five for Friday 7/24

Saturday we moved! It was exhausting! Driving the truck was terrifying, but I did it.

Also thank God for my team mate and her husband. My husband's heart decided to act up, so last minute they came over to help us.

Everything is in the apartment, and 90% unpacked!

I discovered a very important life lesson during the move: do plug in a cord if it isn't attached to anything on the other end, especially a dryer power cord because it is about 30 amps.

Our new apartment is older so we had to switch the power cord out. Before attaching it to the dryer I wanted to make sure it fit in the outlet. Well, if you do that the power has nowhere to go and there is a big electrical flash and a mark on your wall. My husband than explained to me the electricity needs somewhere to go when it gets turned on.

At least now I have a great lesson to teach the kids when we do electricity in science.

This is probably my favorite spot in the apartment. This is the craft closet, before being unpacked. It is about 90% organized now, but I just love it! Drake, loves smelling around in it also.

In our old place we had a bar that we used for pictures and candles. At the new place that is the only downfall in my mind so far. So I am thinking about getting a set of these for the living room.

Today my teammate (hopefully two of them) are going to a book store that I saw in one of my Facebook groups.

It's called Fifth Street Books and is in Mebane, NC. They have thousands of book, and teachers get books for 25 cents with your ID. I am super excited!
