Memo: To Myself...

Teachie-Peachie Summer Freebie!

I am tutoring this summer!! Okay, I know I should be taking a break,but how can you take a  break when there is still so much learning to be done :) I started tutoring about two weeks ago..not sure why I haven't been blogging about :/ it. Anyway, I thought that I would give away a FREEBIE!! Yes F-R-E-E! I started making it and then I stopped because my student really didn't need the practice. She's going to first grade and I made it for another student that I was going to tutor who really needed it, but that's another story :( Okay, just click HERE and enjoy! 

  

Favorite Things...Morning Must Haves :)

Wow...What a day! It is 3:45 EST and I am still up blogging. I need sleep!! We are linking up all over the place. It is so wonderful to be able to share a bit of my  life with you.  Halle at Across the Hall in 2nd Grade has created the cutest linky party for us to share our "must-haves" in the morning.  Please follow the link and join the fun! The more we get together the peachier we will be! 

Five for Friday!

I'm early late, but linking up with Doodle Bugs Teaching is always fun! 

Junie B. Jones & the Stupid Smelly Bus Tour!

We met Junie B. Jones today and it was a wonderful-delight! My son had a writing workshop today at the library and on my way back from my walk with Chloe in downtown Decatur we saw the BUS! This wonderful, pink-bubble gum colored bus! We stopped in our tracks as the bus parallel parked in front of the library. I think I was more excited than Chloe...LOL. I love a FREEBIE and this was a free event. We ran down the stairs to get in line and wait for the interactive story-time by Junie B. herself and Mr. Woo-the bus driver. The girl that portrayed Junie B. was just as energetic as the character in the book. After the performance, we met the actors and  Chloe took pictures and got her book stamped. We all had a great time! What freebies does your local library sponsor during the summer?

Currently June!

I am so excited to link up with Oh'Boy 4th Grade  to share my "currently" and thanks Lorena @ Little Treasures for the invite!  I am so enjoy listening to the cars go by outside my window.I know that this can be a distraction for most  people... I watch House Hunters, but  it has become soothing to me. I am loving  being home with my family. My children are use to me being a stay-at-home mom and so when I took the position as a kindergarten teacher; my household had a lot of adjusting to do when I decided to go back to work. I had a lot of adjusting to do... having to be in my class and ready by 7:20 getting home at after 5 or even 7 depending on my day was overwhelming. Okay...I am a bit of a work-alcoholic! OMG! I am  thinking that the more I organize- the more I need to organize. I love organizing and having everything in their own special place. However, that doesn't always work with a husband, two kids and dog, which leads me to wanting a new house that has another bathroom and stairs and one more room. 

I love stairs...I can see myself gliding down them now in my long white-silk..okay, I carried away. Yeah, I need a new house because I don't want to hear you or your television in the next room...LOL I am needing to really finalize my wonderful son's birthday plans. He's turning 16 and I am happy-sad-scared-all emotions, but I already  posted that. Now let's PARTY! Okay, he's not the partying type of guy well that's what he tells me. (I'll ask the same question when he turns 21.) Peachie-Question: Would it be wrong for me to throw him a surprise party even though he didn't ask for one? I would love to get party suggestions! I was thinking about just having a dinner with his family and close friends. Next, the essentials  for vacations are books for the whole family. My kids grab their books every time they leave the house. I have to take laughter on my vacation  laughter is good all the time and much needed even when things seem grim. I can't forget my camera to capture all of my vacation  memories. If you can't go away on vacation take time for yourself and spend plenty of time with your family & friends or you will burn out before fall break.
