February Currently

I'm linking up on this wonderful February morning with Farley for this month's Currently...

Oh' boy fourth grade



Listening:  It's a lazy Saturday morning here in Kentucky!  The kids are content playing, reading and being self-sufficient.  :)  YAY!!!  I really love the age my kids are now.  They still need their mommy, but are big enough to do what they want on their own.

Loving:  Recently, I have been getting to know several bloggers more personally and getting to give personal and professional advice to some of my readers.  This blog has been a blessing and keeps opening doors for me and showing me new avenues to explore.

Thinking:  The loving section really leads me into the thinking section.  I'm constantly thinking about the future.  What's next for my career?  What am I afraid of?  Can I take the next step?  Hopefully, I will be sharing some exciting news with you guys soon.

Wanting:  I want a day to relax and read or to relax and do nothing at all.  Unfortunately I have laundry to do, a house to clean, a grocery trip to make and kids to take to practice.  While I really don't mind to do any of those things, sometimes a day completely OFF would be amazing!  I see snow days in the forecast for next...maybe one of those days will be full of book reading and coffee drinking!

Needing:  Well, along with all of the things listed in wanting, I also need to meal plan for this month and make the trip to Costco.  Our monthly meal plan went really well in January and I look forward to doing it again this month.  I'll share soon about the ins and outs of the monthly meal planning.  I know it's not teaching related, but it does help this teacher make life easier!

2 Truths and a Fib:  #3 is the fib!  I did marry my high school sweetheart and I love flowers on Valentine's Day.  Those chocolate candy boxes are yuck!  I always seem to pick the grossest piece in the box! :)

Have a lovely February, friends!!!

  1. I found you through the Currently linky. My husband just left to do the Costco run so I could get some products updated & uploaded. I like chocolate, but those chocolate heart boxes have too many yucky surprises inside for me!

  2. Oh my goodness! A day of nothing sounds heavenly. I actually wrote how I wanted a weekend getaway. I would easily settle for just a day though.

    I love forward to reading about meal planning. I have been trying to do a week, sometimes two, but I usually fall off the bandwagon and grab something quick and easy to make. :)

    1. My day of nothing is going pretty well! I've been pretty content just being home (except going out for Mexican tonight)!

  3. I hate not knowing what's in those boxes of chocolate. You never know what's your going I get and that's not always a good thing!!!

  4. I am so impressed by your monthly meal plan. I am good to have a weekly meal plan. I am like you, I do not like boxes of chocolate.

  5. I will coming back to hear more about your monthly meal planning! I'm doing good to do a week at a time and by Thursday I give in and we have pizza! We have also dubbed Friday "Fix it yourself" Friday. Ha! Maybe if I plan better my family won't have to fend for themselves. Love your truths and a lie, I agree on the chocolate!~Heather @ Learning with Mrs. Langley

    1. My husband and I REALLY had to commit to the not eating out thing and cooking at home! It is a lot of work up front and took me a while the first time, but I planned February's meals today and it took half the time. I can't wait to share that with others! Keep checking back...there has been a lot of interest so I'll be sharing soon!
