I like the old episodes of Grey's Anatomy, okay? With George, and Izzy; before they started leaving and dying. So most days I watch old episodes of Grey's on Lifetime no matter what else I am doing. 

I am loving my sweet little home in McPherson. I miss my friends, colleagues, students, classroom, but I am love, love, loving being back in Central Kansas in my own little H4H house (that's Habitat for Humanity people, and it's a sweet home, we love it).

I am thinking about my Kinders and how much I miss them and how I would love to be getting my classroom ready for a new year. (I recently posted about the reading tutor position I accepted with the local school district). I am looking forward to what this year might bring, but I am missing my school family. I really love those kiddos. 

Every day I want a drink from Sonic. Sometimes my less evil, more healthy self wins. I am not sure this will be that day. It's still happy hour for another 25 minutes. How badly can they mess up a route 44 drink? (I probably just tempted fate with that statement).

I am needing some structure and stability.  Yep. Summer break is too long. I love it, but I don't. I am totally over the lack of structure and days with no stability or reason. I've read, I moped, I enjoyed lazy afternoons poolside, I've gardened. I need more structure.

The teacher who's room I took over last year left me sentence strips, wow, I was so thankful. I love post it notes. Not only are they completely necessary for me to succeed in the classroom, but I love them. I love pink ones, green ones, blue ones, purple ones, green ones, neon yellow ones. *sigh* Yep, I feel a little giddy just talking about them. I feel the same way about writing utensils: markers, pens, and highlighters. I love them. They look great, they are so fun, they bring new life to all things school. I don't actually know why I love them so much. Highlighters are something I use everywhere. I use them to check papers, to make tracers for students, to actually highlight things.  Pens... can anyone have enough pens? If you do, you must not be a teacher. right? I don't know.  I just love them. And I always have an extra. So if you get to the meeting without a pen, just tap me on the shoulder, I'll share. 

ooOOOooo.... I love Sharpies. :)
