It's Currently March

Wow... every time Farley posts the new month's Currently I am kinda shocked!  How can it possibly be a new month already?  So, she says it's March... I'm down with that.  School for us ends in late May... so this is progress my friends! I have already sent in the deposit for my week at Fripp Island and I couldn't be more excited. Without further ado... my Currently:

 

Listening: to my boys fuss with each other.  M1 and M2 have a great relationship... they aren't that far apart in age.  BUT when they fuss with each other it makes me wanna bang my head against the wall.  It doesn't happen all that often, but holy moly!  

 Loving: My new dishwasher!  Our old one had started to leak water all over the kitchen.  It also had started to fall out of the casing (is that what it's called?) probably from where my boys used to use the open door kinda like a stool when they were littles!  Oops!  I keep walking into the kitchen and smiling!  I'm nerdy like that!  

Thinking: This has been a really stressful year to only be March.  Still not enough words to explain this pain that I am feeling... I am trying to give myself grace as I navigate these waters, but I would be lying if I said I am not struggling with anger and a whole host of other emotions.  Still coveting your prayers and positive thoughts. 

Wanting: The laundry fairy to come visit.  There are only 4 people at our house but the laundry is crazy.  I have thought about making my children go to school naked to cut back on some of the laundry... wonder if that'd help?  

Needing: More peaceful sleep...to wake up rested.  This goes hand in hand with all the thinking I've been doing.  I am struggling to fall asleep at night and stay asleep.  Allergy season has started up here in south Georgia so I am having to take Benadryl... undoubtedly this will help some with the sleep issue because if I take more than 1 at a time... it knocks me on my BUTT!  

Like/Love/Hate: I like shopping... I like shopping for flip flops, for make-up, for school supplies.  I even like grocery shopping (alone).  I do not like shopping at Wal-Mart though...  I LOVE Starbucks and I go there every morning.  They know me and my order. I take my own cup so my iced mocha stays cold until lunch time.  It sits on my desk and patiently waits for me.  Hate selfishness beyond words.  People who are only interested in themselves... BIGGEST pet peeve!  {ever}

I've been really busy the last few weeks trying to keep my brain focused. I have several St. Patrick's Day products posted and a freebie on Google Docs.  Check them out:

Hope you all have a great week... hope you enjoy the freebie and don't forget about the pencil sharpener giveaway {it ends in 3 more days}.
 

Lunch Dates and Leprechauns

I am so very glad that it is Friday.  You know how some weeks feel like you should get a double salary?  Yeah, this felt like one of those weeks.  I am still not sleeping well and it is starting to impact me a great deal.  I have tried sleeping meds, Benadryl, walking in the evenings, etc.  Hopefully something will start helping soon because summer break is still not within site.  The best thing about my past week was the chance to meet up with my blogging friends in Atlanta last Saturday for lunch.  We had great conversations and super yummy food at the Cheesecake Factory.  My crew hit up the Container Store before lunch... then hit up IKEA after lunch.  It was a day fit for queens!  Here's our whole group shot from after lunch..

I hope that you had a great week... and that your weekend will be awesome.  Here's a St. Paddy's day freebie suited for Kindergarten or 1st grade.  It's basic addition and would be great for morning work... or to leave with a sub if you have to be out anytime soon.  Hoping to post about some cool classroom happenings soon!
