Sunday Scoop (8/9/2015)
I cannot believe that it has been over a year since my last blog post!! So much has happened since then. I changed jobs, and colleges, but I'm still on track to becoming an educator. I guess there is no right way to get back into the swing of things with blogging other than just going for it, so I am linking up with Teaching Trio for the Sunday Scoop weekly linky party. (I'm really hoping to keep up with this every week! I really enjoying seeing what everyone else out there is up to!) I have seen a few other bloggers link up, and thought it would be a fun routine to start! I also figure that maybe this weekly linky party will help me stay on track with the tasks that I need to accomplish for the week, and actually get those things accomplished! LOL! So, here is my Sunday Scoop! I can't wait to see what everyone else is up to this week!
Hope everyone has a great week!

Currently August
My oh my, another month has come and gone too fast. Summer is almost over and another school year is quickly approaching. Schools have even started in some places! I have a friend who lives in Georgia, and her children started school TODAY! Yes, they get out of school earlier (in May), but it's only August 1st!!!! I'm glad I still have about two weeks left until school starts. I have my first meeting of the school year on Monday. I do not look forward to waking up early, but I am excited for what is to come this school year! Also, I look forward to seeing some of the kiddos that I had last year! Also, today is August 1st, and you know what that means....time for another Currently. Head over to Oh' Boy 4th Grade to link up with Farley for her monthly Currently linky party.
Here is my August Currently:
LISTENING to the television in the other room. Right now, my niece is watching Peg Plus Cat. It's about President George Washington, so I love it because it's educational! My nephew is having a friend spend the night tonight, and they are in his room playing XBOX right now. I keep hearing bursts of laughter every couple of minutes, and LOVE that they are having a great time!!
LOVING yes, you read it right, I'm sort of glad that Summer is coming to an end, and that Fall is closer to being here. I love colder weather, bonfires, the leaves changing colors, and cooking in the crock pot. It's also been so hot and muggy here lately, that I'm really looking forward to opening up the doors and windows and letting the air flow through the house while I have fall scented candles lit everywhere! I LOVE FALL!!
THINKING that it's awesome that I have completed day 1 of my diet. I just started today, and I'm doing a 90 day challenge with Body By Vi. I really needed to make a change and do something to get some of this weight off, and I've done the challenge before (but didn't stick with it), and it worked! So, I'm excited for this journey and sticking with it! (Despite the headache I have had all day, lol) I know I CAN do this!
WANTING to change up my blog design to something new, but I'm not sure to what? I like the design I have now, but I sorta want something different. I'm going to think about it over the next month, and who knows, maybe the next time you see my page you will see something a different!
NEEDING to get my plans for the start of school down on paper! I already have a ton of ideas, and I know how I want to start out the new year, I just have to write it all down and make it official. I'm really excited for the new school year!
And last but not least, my official first day of all day prepping is August 11th, and the kids start on August 13th. That's less than 2 weeks away!!!! I do have a meeting this coming Monday, which will start the year out, but I have to go all day on the 11th, so I figured that is my "official" start day.
Good luck to everyone with the start of your school year! I look forward to seeing classroom pictures and reading blog posts of how the new school year is going for everyone!
Until next time,

Back to School Goals 2014-2015
Oh my goodness, is it already the middle of July!?!? Where has the time gone? I feel like school was just let out....but I guess that's how quickly summer vacation has come and gone. Only a few more weeks of sunshine and school will be back in session. I am linking up with Jess over at IHeartRecess for Back to School goals for the 2014-2015 school year. Last school year I didn't begin my career at the before/after-school program until April. It was a little stressful walking into the mess I did, but I was able to turn it around a little bit once the kids warmed up to me. I am really excited to start up this school year by being there on Day 1 and for the whole school year! I already have so many ideas planned, and things I want to accomplish with my students!
Here are my Back to School goals for the 2104-2015 school year!
Make sure you head over to IHeartRecess, to link up and to check out other teachers' goals for the upcoming year!

Currently June
It's already June and summer has officially begun! I cannot believe half of the year is almost over, but after a very cold and snowy winter, I'm glad that the sun is shining and summer is here! Here is my June currently!
LISTENING to "I Choose You" by Sara Bareilles. It's her newest song being played on the radio and I LOVE it. It is such a beautiful song. If you haven't heard it yet, you should have a listen! Check it out on Spotify....(it's my newest way of listening to music online!)
LOVING that summer has officially begun! Like the song....School is out for summer, and I'm ecstatic!! Well, "work school" is over, that is teaching. However, I am still taking a full course load of college credits this summer to get some classes out of the way. I'm still happy that I have a summer vacation away from work, so I can enjoy some summer fun with the family, and my nephews, and my niece!
THINKING about planning a trip to the zoo soon! I just bought a zoo membership so I can take the kiddos to the zoo as often as I want to over the next year! Plus, the giraffes and zebras are back (after being gone for a long time), so I'm very excited to go back to the zoo! I haven't been to the zoo in almost a year, so it's a trip that has been long overdue!
WANTING my Grandpa to get better soon....over that last couple months he hasn't been doing well at all. He's in his mid-80's, and has had a long good life. He fell a couple months ago and hurt his neck, and since then things just keep happening. He is confused, sometimes not able to talk, and has been fighting pneumonia. He was improving a few days ago, but he is starting to fall downhill again. I really just want him to get back to himself again. I don't want to see him in pain, and I want him to get better. So, I just keep praying that he gets better SOON! Our family needs something good to happen soon!
NEEDING to blog more than once a month. I think that says it all....after starting my new job and being in school it seems I've only made one post a month - the currently post (which I'm glad I have been able to keep up with at least that post!). I'd really like to aim to make a post at least once a week! I'll get there eventually....I just gotta keep working on it!
SUMMER BUCKET LIST First I'd like to lose 20 pounds and exercise more. I probably won't lose it all over the summer....I want to be realistic, but 20 pounds is my overall goal to shoot for. I am starting another ViSalus 90-day challenge! If you haven't tried ViSalus and are looking for a new way to lose weight, I can give you more details. The shakes are really yummy and there are a lot of different kinds of shakes you can make like coffee, fruit, vegetable, regular, and candy bar flavored shakes! I also want to walk/ride my bike at least 3-4 times a week. The weather is beautiful, and I should be taking advantage of it by getting outside and exercising! I also want to pinterest some ideas for the next school year (which is also FUN to do)! I LOVE Pinterest! Last but not least, I need to transfer to another college this summer so I can complete my bachelors degree!
I hope everyone is enjoying their summer vacation so far (or will be soon)!

Currently May
WOW, not only is it May, but it's almost the middle of the month! There has been a lot going on in my personal life this month, that my post is a "little" late. But late is better than never. I love linking up with Farley at Oh' Boy Fourth Grade for Currently! So, here is my Currently May!
LISTENING to the birds chirping outside! The weather is beautiful! Maybe a little muggy, but it's so nice knowing that the cold winter weather is long gone, and summer is right around the corner! I'm ready to swim in the pool again and work on my tan!
LOVING that there are only 15 days left of school, counting today! I only teach at a before/afterschool program, but I am counting down until the last day! Even though my next semester at college starts in two weeks, it'll still be nice to have more time off in the summer so I can enjoy the wonderful weather!
THINKING that I need to order books for next semester. I've been trying to look on Craigslist to see if I can save some money. The cost of college books is somewhat ridiculous! Yes, it's worth it....but I don't think they should be soooo expensive!
WANTING to plant some flowers! I went shopping the other day, and bought a tomato plant and strawberry plant. I went to two different nurseries to see what types of flowers they had and I saw some very beautiful flowers! I cannot wait to get a flower garden started!!
NEEDING to get things ready for summer semester....like getting my books, buying some new clothes, getting supplies, and making sure that I have everything ready to go for the first day!
SURPRISE I love finding new school teacher blogs, especially new teachers! Thanks to another teacher blog, I found The Brown Bag Teacher. She is a first year 5th grade teacher, and I haven't explored her entire blog yet, but I'm very impressed with what I've seen so far! You should go over and check her out!

Happy Blogging,
