July Currently


Once again, I am joining Farley's Oh' Boy 4th Grade's Currently Linky. I love reading everyone's Currently! It is a new addiction! :)

Listening: I am listening to my wonderful husband mowing the lawn. The outside of the house is his baby. In fact, one day I even asked him if I could help him out by mowing, and he quickly looked at me, smiled, and said, "No." I appreciate him for keeping our lawn looking great!

Loving: I am loving that today is overcast and the clouds have smothered the scorching hot temperatures we have been feeling lately. 

Thinking: I really need to get the room ready for my new office. I have been using the sunroom for my creating, blogging, and planning, but I have over-grown the space. My husband said it was time to upgrade to a bigger space, so now I just need to get the other room ready. Oh boy! That is going to be a lot of work, but I promise to post pics of the progress. 

Wanting: Each summer, I promise myself that I am going to find new recipes to cook. I like good, quick, healthy recipes. So, if you know of any, please help me out. 

Needing: I need to get motivated! I have a to-do list a mile long, and I have managed to accomplish Z.E.R.O. Tomorrow is a new day, right!

Tips, Tricks, or Hints: This tip if for creating new products. I also think of my students and their engagement level when creating new products. If your students will be successful doing it and love it at the same time, then go with it!

    I love to cook TOO! :) Summer is the time for me to do that! During the school year, I just 'casserole it up' so that I don't have to cook every night! :) I just made something last week that I really, really loved...it was an herb crusted chicken with an arugula 'fry' salad. I found the recipe at the grocery store. My husband who NEVER eats salad, ate it ALL! ;) So cool when it works out that way, you know? Anyway...I've rambled on long enough! :)
    Looking forward to seeing how your new office space looks! :) I need to do that at my house too...maybe you will inspire me! :)

    That's exciting to have your own office space. We have an office in our house, but my husband works out of it and does not keep it very organized. I'm jealous you have your own space. I find tons of great recipes on pinterest.

      After posting my Currently yesterday, we started the move. I will post as soon as it is complete. I didn't realize I had so much stuff in such a small space.

    Understand what you mean by getting motivated - I can't seem to finish the projects I start (school and home!). Good luck!

      I know. I think my brain really wants me to slow down and take some time, but all I can think about are all of the things I need/should be doing.

    Ha! You husband with the lawn is like my wife with the laundry. apparently I don't do well enough...so I get relegated to the lawn.

    I've tried my office for creating but I don't like being boxed in (even with the window) so everything ends up going on the kitchen table.

    I found you through Currently.
    thanks

      Yes, I think he is afraid I will mess it up. :) I know what you mean about everything making it to the kitchen table. I am going to try to organize my space so it is 100% mine and how I think it works best. We'll see. Thanks for stopping by!

    OH MAN! I hear ya on the motivation! I can't understand how when someone is home I am more motivated, as opposed to when I am home alone during the day. It has resulted in not much planning. July is my month. I got this!

    I hear ya on finding new recipes. I am not a cook, but thankfully the hubs likes to cook so I pass that responsibility off on him! HA! You're lucky you have a room all to yourself. I have a chair in the living room.... Gotta love when the kids take over the house :/

    Hi Andrea.

    I found your blog from Farley's July Currently. I was looking around and really love your post you did in 2012 about the germs. I will be implementing some of your really easy ideas this year. I am new to blogging and new to middle school, AND new to teaching so I love easy ideas.

    Hope you have a wonderful day and get your new office room ready!

    Cheers,

    I totally need to get motivated, too. It's crazy- summer just sucks the motivation right out of me. I would rather just lounge by the pool! :)

    I nominated you for a Liebster award! Here is the link to claim it. :)
