September?? Really?? This
year is flying by. It is time once again
to link up with Farley at Oh Boy 4th Grade for this months
Currently.
Listening…to the Nascar Sprint cup race on DVR.
We had Sunday night family dinner with grandma Sweetie so we are just
now watching the race. If you have
followed me for even a short time you know that if we aren’t at the track
racing it is on the TV at our house…life with 3
4 boys, can’t forget the hubby.
Loving…my
new class of Kinders. I have 19 sweeties
so far and they are a great bunch. Not that
they are all perfect…far from it…but they are kind and a good friend to each other, really
want to learn and we are having a ton of fun!
Thinking…I
am so glad I get an extra day for the holiday weekend. I have a ton of projects on my to do list and
never seem to find enough time during the regular week to get them all
done. So I am hoping to be super
productive tomorrow. The first thing on my list is learning how to use my new Silhouette
Portrait that arrived last week. SO excited!!
Wanting…to
slow down time. My youngest started High
School 2 weeks ago, our middle son is a Jr. in High School and we drop our
oldest off to UC Irvine on September 27th. I am already freaking out a bit. I just want to stop time. My little babies, who are all much taller
than me, are all growing up so fast. It
seems like just yesterday they were little boys. I am super proud of the young
men they have become but sad that in just 4 years we may have an empty nest…what!! That
can not be happening already. I have to
stop thinking about it, and cherish each moment I still have with them at home.
Needing…to
use my treadmill. I know this is like a
broken record. If you look back at my
older Currently’s I am pretty sure this has been said before. I swear every time I say it, I do have the
best of intentions of making it happen and then something just goes wrong. Well, winter is coming and I am embarrassed to
say not one of my pair of jeans fits…I don’t mean they are a little too tight so they are
uncomfortable…I mean I literally can not get them over my junk in
the trunk! I can’t wear my summer maxi
dresses and skirts all winter, I will freeze.
So TOMORROW I AM starting back on the treadmill. I am saying this for ME not for all of you…lol.
3 Trips…I
have always wanted to travel abroad and my three top picks are Paris, London
and Venice. I have only seen pictures of them online and in books, but I will
make it there one day. I told my husband that is going to be our big trip once
we retire.
Be sure you link up with
Farley and let me know what you’ve been up to.
I love to read your comments.

a 7th grader...welcome to teenagers...lol. Actually I am really lucky I haven't had to deal with that teenage drama...but boys are the best...not perfect...but I couldn't ask for more.

I was typing too fast...I was trying to say MY boys are the best...not boys in general...haha!
DeleteI'm with you on the fear of the empty nest. I have one gone and grown up, a senior and a sophmore. I miss doing their hair for them before school....now they just roll their eyes at me. Oh and I'm with you on the treadmill too! Great currently!
ReplyDeleteI always thought it would be so fun to dress up little girls...alas I have all boys. However, after seeing the beautiful hairdo's some of my kinders come in with I am glad I didn't have that pressure in the morning...lol. Teenagers...

Glad to hear your new school year is going well! I love how you described your new group of kiddies - as great friends to each other and really want to learn - that's a huge step already!

Teaching Maths with Meaning
Oh Laura! I am right there with you in gaining a pound or five....I tried on four golf skirts today before I found one that wasn't too tight. This is what happens when you sit at a computer for way too long. On a good note my step counter was at 9000 at the end of our round of golf, so that's good, right?
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear you have a sweet class- it makes all the difference! Have a great week!
