June Currently

Response blog post to http://ohboy3rdgrade.blogspot.ca/2014/06/june-currently.html

 

listening: to our chocolate poodle snooze contentedly on the couch

 loving: loving watching live shows in the evenings on iTunes from our cosy home with my hubby

thinking: what can I do to prepare more TpT products for end of year and back to school seasons

wanting: to see my Mum for her birthday - next Adelaide trip will be in July

needing: to pace myself for time and energy - enjoying the pregnancy highs and taking the lows in my stride (where possible)

winter bucket list: prepare nursery, and support my husband as the bread winner in our family

listening: Charlie the poodle is not thrilled that in each trimester my lap is shrinking

 loving:we are enjoying comedy like Wayne Brady and performers like Darren Brown.  A perk for modern times when we live in 5 hours from metropolitan Adelaide

thinking: will fine tune end of year reflective TpT products and brainstorming tasks for Back to School, as well as some teacher organisation products for the new year

needing: needing my pedometer in a new way - used to try to beat my personal best of 10,000 steps daily or more, now pace myself and rest at 10,000 steps to take the best care I can of our growing baby

winter bucket list: looking for the cot and baby capsule soon in our nursery preparations and enjoying visiting my husband at his school in his lunch break to help with classroom tasks and lighten his task load a little.  It was nice to share a classroom last year, helps me know better what he needs in his busy year 3/4 classroom.

Meet the Teacher: 10 Fun Things About Me!

#1  I am married to my BEST FRIEND.   I live with him, have married him, have worked with him  (we are both teachers) and even shared a classroom with him last year :-)   WHy not do everything with my best friend and soul mate.

#2  We are exepcting out first child in October.  I am 19 weeks - so almost halfway to meeting out Baby :-)

# 3, 4, 5  My Three Favorite Movies of ALL time are:

Life is beautiful (La vita é bella) -a heartwarming war story makes for an unusual but beautiful combination.

Coach Carter -  basketball movie about teaching student athletes - and the important life lesson of being students first and athletes second

 

Stepmom - a parenting movie that has helped me prepare to become a mum for the first time.  It explores the many different roles mothers can play.  You can be a mother and still be you.

#6,7,8  Music!  I LOVE Music!  

My three favorite songs are:

Let it be - reminds me to go with the flow and let life happen

The Rose - the song played for our wedding ceremony

Have a little faith from Benny and Joon movie - we danced to at our wedding reception.

#9  I am amazed at my Teachers pay Teachers journey already.  I have only been a premium seller starting our on my own journey as a teacher/ online seller.  I have been amazed at the positive feedback, variety of buyers and even the number of repeat buyers back to my store.  I am enjoying trying my first blog to interact more with fellow teachers and I have grown in

  the diversity and depth of resources I make over time.

#10  I love reflecting on my journey with my best friend: met a local boy in the town where I landed my first teaching job.  We met, fell in love and got engaged within 3 years, married 18 months later, and are expecting a baby just after our 3nd wedding anniversary.  Within that time, we have bought a house, redone the kitchen and bathroom and added a basketball half court in the backyard.  Next, on our list is selling stuff we no longer need, readying the nursery and counting down until Baby arrives.  I wonder how the next chapter of our lives together will unfold.

If you are a fellow teacher, please comment if you care to share about you ;-)
