Listening...I can't lie.. NYE is not my favorite holiday. I am NOT a night person by any means. I love my sleep! But I figure I should at least somewhat join in the festivities and watching the Rockin' Bash is good enough for me. One of these years, I swear I will be a part of the big party in NYC. I have to cross that one off my bucket list, but not this year. Justin & I probably would be celebrating with a few coworkers if it wasn't for this terrible cold/sore throat we both have!
Loving... Teaching at a year round school! It means I get the rest of the week off while most people have to go back on Wednesday or Thursday. I don't think I could ever go back to a traditional schedule.
Thinking... I'd like to do less "wingin' it" this quarter and be pretty planned out at least for the first half of the quarter. I know if I plan too far ahead I'll regret it because something with get thrown off, it always does.
Wanting... Ice cream to soothe this terrible sore throat. I bought some yesterday but no joke, it was gone 4 hours later- and I didn't even get one tiny itty bitty lick *Insert sad face*
Needing... to be seriously serious about getting back to working out. It's so hard with the little time I have. I'm so exhausted when I get home, plus I've got extra work to do... This is why planning ahead will *hopefully* help!!
OLW... when I saw what this was, I was stumped for about 5 seconds. Then it just came to me. My word is confidence. I need be confident in myself as a teacher, fiancee, daughter, sister, cousin, neice, coworker, friend etc. Believe that I am doing the best I can and not get down on myself when I can't do something. Remind myself I'm not superwoman and that I can't do it all, but if I give what I can and do my best, that is all I can do, and that is OK!!
So there's my currently :) Can't wait to head on over to your blog and read about yours!
Cheers!
We are very similar in our "Currentlys." 1)I'm not being a big fan of partying on NYE; 2) I've been sick most of this vacation; and 3) I also need to make exercise a higher priority.
ReplyDeleteBeen on both ends of that spectrum. A couch potato and ... for about a year and a half ... a great exerciser who had all sorts of energy and was at her goal weight and was eating right and all that. I've been back at couch potato and I don't like it.
So good luck! It's worth it! It's just hard. Things that are worth it usually are.
PS I'm a teacher librarian but I love our 2nd grade team and kiddos. ;]
I miss my year round school - we switched calendars to traditional a couple of years ago... I like your word - "confidence" is such a good one!

Oh Yuck, how could you go from year round to traditional? I think the year round is so much better for the kiddos. Happy New Year!
DeleteI love ice cream. What is your favorite flavor? I like mint chocolate chip -or- chocolate with Recess Peanut Butter Cups.
ReplyDeleteI am right with you when it comes to needing to exercise more. Especially if I keep eating ice cream!
Have a Happy New Year!

I am in L.O.V.E with Chocolate Moose Tracks! Chocolate ice cream with fudge and mini reeses pb cups! De-lish! Oh man girl, seriously.. Ice cream is my weakness!! Thanks for stopping by! :)
DeleteI love your word confidence. It will come, but even after teaching for 10 1/2 years, it is still a struggle for me at times. I hope you feel better. Sore throats aren't any fun. If you lived near me, I'd drop ice cream at your door step. When my throat is sore, I usually make hot tea and mix honey into it. It seems to sooth it a little. I'm your newest follower :)
ReplyDeleteHi Faith! Thanks for stopping by. It's rough because we work in a profession where we have to be such self reflectors and sometimes we can be too hard on ourselves! Thanks.. you are too sweet! I SO wish there was on on demand ice cream delivery service! Hmm... business idea!? My fiancee was nice enough to go out & get some since he ate it all on me yesterday :)Happy New Year!!
DeleteI hope that you feel better soon! I'd love, love to teach at year round school...there are just none in Ohio! Happy New Year!

Feel better soon & thanks for stopping by my blog. I'm so excited to be your newest follower! I am a night owl (and definitely not a morning person), but I'm not a huge fun of NYE either.. Long gone are the days that I go out and party the new year in, but I think I prefer watching the ball drop in my pjs! :)

Hey Ashley! Thank you for finding our blog and following us! We are now following you and we are looking forward to getting to know you!
ReplyDeleteWe are definitely alike! I need that same confidence and to know that it's OK that I'm not superwoman and I just can't really do it all (it's still hard though!)
Happy New Year,
