Hello, December...

Y'all.. .it's December!  How did that even happen?  I am rested, rejuvenated and excited that there are only 15 days of school separating me and Christmas break {insert heavenly sounding music here}.  It also happens that I have a teacher workday and another allergist appointment... so technically that leaves me 13 days with students {translation: 104 hours}.

Even more exciting that that is that I finally get to sponsor a Currently!  I got in touch with Farley almost a year ago and signed up... and my month is finally here!  I kinda love her and the way she writes...  it's a perfect blend of funny + real life.  Be sure to check it out over at Oh Boy Fourth Grade to get in on the fun!

Listening to Christmas music on Pandora.  In all fairness... I have been listening to Christmas music on Pandora since way before Thanksgiving.  It is calming to me...  I'd much rather have the TV off and some music on any day (except Sunday when Walking Dead comes one).

Loving my monthly Stitch Fix boxes.  My 2nd one just came and they are getting better at figuring me out.  I got 5 items as usual in this box.  I liked most of them, but some were a bit too snug {ahem, totally my fault}.  I kept the scarf for sure.  Excited that my next box will come in December right before Christmas.  Have you signed up for Stitch Fix yet?  You fill out a style profile, give them the links to your style Pinterest boards (if you have them) and answer some quick questions.  Then a stylist gets busy selecting 5 items to send your way.  Anything you want... you checkout online.  Anything you don't want... throw in the pre-paid bag and drop in the mailbox. Easy peasy!

Thinking that I need to finish Christmas shopping.  I have most of it done... now it's just the small-ish type things.  I have already bought for my 2 closest friends...  bought the big techy gifts for my little people.  Teacher gifts, check!  I started early this year {have I mentioned I am excited about Christmas?} and have been stocking up since September.  Thinking that most of my shopping will be happening on Amazon since they are offering a free month of Amazon Prime!  My boys are asking for some random things, too... like metal detectors...  who knew?

Wanting the Teachers Pay Teachers sale to go ahead and start!  I have a Christmas wish list for my classroom the length of my arm.  I am ready to use my feedback credits and score some clip art!  I'm sure you know about the sale already... but if not it is running this Monday and Tuesday.  Most stores are marked down up to 28% off including MINE!  Be sure to use code CYBER!

Needing to whittle down my to-do list.  I have lots of things I want to accomplish over the next few weeks leading into Christmas break.  I also need to write sub plans for my workday tomorrow as well as lesson plans for the week.... guess the Sunday night blues are back for awhile.

I hope that you all had a great Thanksgiving break and will head back to school feeling rested and ready to push through into December.  Thanks for stopping by and hanging out.  Before you leave... remember I am still running my $20 Starbucks eGift card giveaway.  {it ends Monday night}  I hope that you will enter...  the entry options are super easy!  Good luck my peeps... and talk to y'all soon!
