Happy Monday, Y'all
Today I'm joining Holly and Sarah, and a few other bloggers, for today's Hello Monday link-up, where we say Hello to Monday with a look at what's going on in our lives at the moment.
So what's on my mind?
A lot. But 'tis the norm with me, I suppose.
Things like...
JSB - Our Junior Senior Banquet (similar to a prom in the US) was this past weekend and as one of the sponsors for the senior class, I got to attend. It's so fun to see the kids excitedly milling about, all dressed up in their fanciest clothes, having the times of their lives. It was a great night!
Job Search - People keep asking me if I've found a job for when I get back to the US. So far, my answer is still no. I'm applying and interviewing and waiting... I'm still holding out hope for a couple that I haven't heard back from. That, and still applying when good ones come open. Ah, waiting and unknowns... You're such a not so fun part of life. Just saying.
9 - That's how many years it's been (today, actually) since my dad's funeral. I wrote some reflections on the anniversary of his death the other day, which you could read HERE. Thankfully, it was a school day and clearly I was busy with teaching incredible humans all day so I was busy. But after school, when I was left alone with my thoughts... That's when the sadness hit. I wonder if it'll ever not hit me so hard on the day.
Dress Ideas - I want to have a couple things made before I leave Senegal. I'm planning to go fabric shopping next weekend. The pictures below are what I've gotten my inspiration ideas down to. I'm not saying I necessarily like the same colors/fabric designs. But I do like certain elements of each one. And once I find the fabric I like, I'll settle on which dress I want made...
What I'm Reading - I wanted to read a fun "fluff" book, as I call it. Nothing heavy or super thought provoking... So when I saw this one on the shelf in the library at the school, I grabbed it. I haven't finished it yet. But so far, so good.
And I guess that's about it for today.
What's on your mind today?
Oh the breakfast sounds like so much fun! Sending you hugs as you remember your dad and that book looks so cute- I may pick it up :)
