Happy Wednesday, Y'all
Every month we answer the same list of questions based on how things are currently going in our lives.
The questions are...
We now have a taco truck that comes to our school once a week. It's quite pricey, so it's definitely a splurge, and not one I feel I should get that often. But the food is delicious. So I treated myself to some tacos and homemade guacamole the other day. So yummy!
What am I reminiscing about?
These sweet memories of my nieces with my Mom and Dad. My dad was in a rehab facility at the time, recovering from major fall and was super weak and sick. And my brother and sister-in-law brought the girls to his room to see him. My oldest niece was super happy to stand or sit by her Pawpaw and chatted away with him for the longest time. My dad loved it! It was super sweet and definitely a memory I'll always cherish.
What am I loving?
I am definitely loving the cooler temps we've been having this week. It's been so nice to wear long pants and long sleeves and not feel like I'm going to have a heatstroke for a change.
As one of the Co-Sponsors for our 10th Grade Class, I spent a lot of time working (with the kids) prepping for the delivery of various valentines fun. It made for a crazy month or so of work. But it was fun. And I loved (love) working with this class. So I enjoyed it :)
What am I dreading?
We had a tiny, little 4-legged visitor in our classroom yesterday. Such is life when your doors open up to the outdoors. At any rate - Thankfully, one of my co-workers helped us set a couple traps and even more than that... Hopefully, the mouse was scared off by the adults screaming and laughing and the two little boys in our room chasing after the mouse. A friend joked that it's never a dull moment in our classroom. That's for sure :)
What am I working on?
I'm planning to make a big pot of gumbo this weekend. I've been working on finding all the ingredients for it. 'tis quite complicated when you don't live in the US and near grocery stores stocked with all the necessary ingredients. So I might need to get a little creative. But that's okay. It's going to be good no matter what. Or at least, that's what I keep telling myself anyways :)
What am I excited about?
I'm excited about this weekend coming up. I'll have to work on lesson planning. But there's nothing else on the calendar but that and church. So yay for being able to take it a little easier than usual...
What am I watching?
I've been watching the latest season of Guy's Grocery Games.
What am I reading?
I've been reading The Medallion by Cathy Gohlke. I saw it in our school library and picked it up. I've gotten a slow start to it, but that's only because my brain has been fried by the time I've gotten home from work each day since then. But my goal is to finish it up either tonight or tomorrow night. It's a good read. I'm enjoying it.
What am I listening to?
Nothing new or exciting :)
What am I wearing?
I wore this fun piece of headgear on Valentine's Day. It was a last minute find at Dollar Tree while back in the US at Christmas time. I thought it was fun. What do you think? Does it suit me? Ha! :)
What am I doing this weekend?
Lesson planning, lots of lesson planning...
What am I looking forward to next month?
Spring Break!
But before that, I have all sorts of fun projects and experiments and lessons and activities to do with my students. I may be working all the time (or so it seems) to do the planning and prep work for all of my people and be tired pretty much all the time. But it's worth it. They are getting a pretty awesome education and I'm loving every chance I get to pour into their lives, to teach them new content and skills, and to simply work with their incredible selves :)
What else is new?
Nothing :)
And that's what I'm up to this month.
What about you?
