19 days and counting

I've never been so happy to see Justin Timberlake. It's May, guys...we've made it. This is the month we've dreamed about all school year! But I swear I blinked in August and all of a sudden it's May. I'm not complaining though...

So so sad that this is Farley's last monthly link up. I understand that all good things must come to an end, but I always enjoy doing the monthly link up and reading other's teachers joys/struggles.

So here's what I'm up to on May first...okay, okay, I'm a day late... May second.

Listening- So obsessed with the Throwback Thursday playlist that I even listen to it on Mondays, and Tuesday, and Wendesdays, and... you get the point.. Check it out!

Loving- We had our families and some of our best friends over on Saturday to help us celebrate that we are, in fact, adults and own a house! I love that they all got to see the house and see how quickly our backyard can become a small river. #whenwilltheraineverstop #everyeventIplancreatesathunderstorm

Thinking- I overthink WAY too much and it's affecting me way more than it should! If people wanna hate, go ahead... but hate over there cause I ain't got time for it NO MORE. (and yes, I don't even have time for proper grammar).

Wanting- We're MAP testing today and tomorrow. I had some kids go up over TWENTY POINTS. That's a lot! I'm hoping everyone makes their goals *fingers crossed*

Needing- I love reading their monthly writing journals, but it takes for-ev-er. I can't wait to finish them up and send them home with the kiddos!

Truth- The last month of school is always when I'm driving the struggle bus. I can't even remember the last time I cooked an actual meal. I like cooking, but it's a process! And I absolutely can't sleep if I know that there are dishes in the sink, so I never cook if I know I can't do all of the dishes that night. One of my kids asked me if I had OCD today... they know me. Mr. R, I promise you that this week, I will whip out the wallet and pay for our tacos on Cinco de Mayo (can I get an hallelujah for this holiday being 2 days away?)

Oh and another great thing about today is that I ordered my end of the year books for my kids: personally selected chapter books. I can't wait to write a note, wrap them up, and give them to them!

19 days and counting, friends.
