Way too many bottles in the cabinet
Ability to meet every possible need I have Together, they take up SO much space Every time I see a new color or better feature, I have to get it Really Toni? Another one? Beautiful in the design Odd obsession , don't you think? Thankful to be able to support my obsession Toni, Stop buying water bottles Love them Eager to buy the next one! Totally weird post today; however, the students were writing acrostic poems for fun today. They total inspired me to write one tonight! We are now to the point of the wedding planning where we are receiving packages almost every other day. These packages consist of presents, decor, signage, etc. It is so exciting seeing everything come together; however, we are running out of room in the house to store all of the things! We are still house hunting and living with my Grandma. So, all the wedding items are sitting in one little room. When we go to bed, its like playing a game of "how high can I stack these pillows on the packages before they fall" LOL.
Today, I received a very special present. I ordered my grandma a very personalized gift. Of course, I want to give it to her right away... But she said she doesn't want it until July. Like how can this women know she has a gift and have the will power to wait to know what it is?! Going through College and student teaching, I picked up Nannying on week nights and weekends. Unfortunately, as I started my full time teaching position, I had to let some of the families go. I kept some families for weekend for the parents to have date night, etc. Today, I was able to go hangout with two of the sweetest boys. I have been with this family for about 5 years now. When I went to their house, they were so excited to see me! It is such a good feeling knowing you are welcomed and loved. We ended up watching a movie, playing a few rounds of card games and then the normal bedtime routine. They were so sad to see me leave when they went to bed and asked when I would be back (totally not teary eyed at all.. LOL)
WOW. What a day of green, crazy, excited, fun! The kids at the school did a class challenge to wear as much green as possible for St. Patrick's Day. They had loads of fun. We had 20 out of 27 wear green today. Unfortunately, some classes had 100% of the class wearing green; so, we did not win.
Even though we had a lot of content to get through, they enjoyed their day. We had some fun closing pages, word searches, and informational reads about today. They also enjoyed remembering what it was like back in Kindergarten when the "leprechaun" destroy their room and they went hunting for them. Honestly, seeing holidays through the eyes of the kids is what brings such joy to each day! Half way through March
Half way through the challenge Half way until spring break (one more week!) Half way until summer Half way until the wedding Half way until Disney Half way through Hulu series A lot of half ways happening right now. Going to keep a positive attitude; the glass is half way full :) In my district, we are trying to implement a new way of teaching math. It is from this amazing book "Building a Thinking Classroom". Highly suggest checking out the book. It has made a MAJOR difference with my kiddos math skills and problem solving. The students are up, moving, talking, and solving problems with little teaching from me. We started this about half way through out current unit on fractions and today we started to test. The students did amazing on the first half of our standards mastery! They truly were thinking through the problems and using their math skills! HUGE difference from the previous test we took were students were just trying to mimic what I taught. I can not wait to see what the future units hold for these kiddos to learn and have such a better time in math class. The kids now call it "Fun Math".
So, Gavin and I officially are adults now. We were nicely asked **(cough kicked cough)** to get our own phone plan since we are getting married. So, we went to the store today to get our service. I have not gotten a new phone in about 6 years. I had the iPhone XR. It was definitely time for an upgrade. HOLY SMOKES. The pictures I can take on the iPhone 14 are crazy! I will be exploring the new features on this phone for the next week... My screen time will most likely double! LOL I am very excited for this new phone. Now, back to exploring the features. Have a great night!
Over summer, I started going to a dance class for fun and movement. I went with my grandma actually. It was so much fun. When winter hit, I just became so busy I stopped going. Today was the first day in like four months that we have been! Man, I am sore after tonight. I was kind of dreading it; going out in the cold, moving my body when it was tired, driving about 20 minutes each way. I am so glad I went! I always have a good laugh when I am there because I am not a dancer nor do I have any rhythm. So even though going to dance was the last thing I wanted to do, I am SO glad I went. Now, I will have to make sure each Monday I continue to go :)
It has been snowing and raining on and off all day. Most people are bothered by these days. I LOVE these days. I am such a homebody and love staying under the blankets. Just listening to the rain/snow falling, the cloudy skies, and the cold weather makes it perfect for staying in bed. It is a great day for napping. For the rest of the night, I will be napping on and off under the blankets and watching the oscars.
