See you next Friday! 

Who am I kidding, probably not.

Sunday it is!

Currently February

Although I spent the past 2 days in denial, it is indeed February. I am on the countdown to graduation. It's getting really real y'all! 

Thanks for keeping my on track with this posting business Farley! I love these monthly reflections! This graphic is as cute as ever! 

Listening: 

Or should I say half listening... I am not a football fan so the Super Bowl isn't really for me. I do like to watch commercials and I have to say I was very disappointed. There weren't really any commercials that were worth $4 million for 30 seconds in my opinion. The only one I loved was the Best Buds puppy and horse one. That was precious! Otherwise, I could think of a million other uses for that money but that's neither here nor there.

Loving: 

Scandal!!! It comes back in just 25 days (not that I'm counting or anything). I can't wait to see what is in store for Olivia Pope & Associates! I'm sure my IG friends will agree!

Thinking: 

So.Much.Food! When you don't watch the game, you tend to frequent the snack table a lot. I definitely frequented that table a little too often and I stuffed beyond belief! I blame Pinterest for all those delicious recipes that you just can't turn away!

Wanting: 

A full week of subbing combined with classes til 9pm is a deadly combo. This week can't get over fast enough! I'm living for Friday!

Needing: 

So standing on my feed all day every day for months has finally caught up with me. My back and neck are in pain and I think a good old spa day is just what the doctor ordered!

1 Truths and a Fib: 

I kinda hate this game. I am so bad at lying! It is too much pressure! 

Starbucks: Fib! I have never had a drink from Starbucks before and I don't plan to any time soon! 

Fuzzy Socks: I live in fuzzy socks! My house is constantly freezing and fuzzy socks make everything better!

90's Boy Bands: Kind of obsessed! 90's boy band music makes the commute to work a million times better!

Early to bed, early to rise, except if you are me and you always want to sleep in! 

My laptop is dying though so I will head off to bed now! 

Five for Fluday

Did you see what I did there with the title? Unfortunately, no, this is not a typo (although I wish it was)! I seem to have come down with some sort of flu like symptoms. Being a newbie in the schools apparently has finally caught up with me. I never was sick during student teaching. However, this semester it has all caught up with me. As my brain is clearly foggy, it is no surprise that I am a day late for the Five for Friday party. On the plus side, I am still ahead of that one time I linked up on a Monday. Thanks for hosting a party where I won't have to worry about sharing any germs! 

The Flu! This is how I am feeling about it...

This snow day was my saving grace this week cancelling college classes and the elementary school!

I started reading Divergent on my day off. Have you read it? I am hooked so far!

Valentine's Day is right around the corner. Want two fun freebies to help you celebrate?

Minimal text, lots of photos, and plenty of hashtags make for the perfect combo for a sick blogger! See you next week! Hope you are all staying healthy!

Five for Friday on an actual Friday!

Feel free to alert The New York Times, The President, and The Today Show. I actually managed to post a Five for Friday on an actual Friday, on a work day, keeping my once a week posting dream alive. Is this real life?

Here is my Five for Friday in a fun little graphic that I whipped up! 

1) So... I may have contacted some of my favorite 4th grade bloggers this week seeking tips for teaching the "big kids". I might have been a little bit scared. (They are taller than me you know!) Well I am pleased to say that 4th graders are actually pretty awesome. Kinders are my favorite because they are so cute and loving but 4th graders are just hilarious and have such great personalities. I mean how can you not love teaching kids that say "Dude! You just stole my thunder!" When sharing answers whole group. It's impossible I tell you! They also seemed to really like me because they were begging for me to come back and trying to trade out their other sub next week for me.

2) It is crazy to believe I ordered my textbooks for the last time as an undergrad. Where has the time gone! College truly goes by in the blink of an eye! I have just over 100 days left til graduation. It just got real! Yikes!

3) If I had a tip for any substitute it would be drop everything and run to your nearest laptop or bookstore and get a copy of What Does the Fox Say? Trust me, this book is gold! Any grade level, any group of kids, any type of school. They will do anything you say to be rewarded with this read aloud! Throw in the corresponding Just Dance Brain Break and you are THE coolest sub ever!

4) School vacation should revolve around the lunar calendar. Clearly teaching during a full moon is a lost cause. Our kids were C.R.A.Z.Y. this week. Were yours? Add in my substitute teaching factor and it was a double whammy. I felt so victorious when I made it out alive!

5) Three whole glorious days off! Never has a three day weekend made me so happy! It's the little things people! I have no plans this weekend but to sleep in, watch Netflix, hit up the Target Dollar Spot, stalk Instagram, and each non-school lunches. It is truly a dream! Catch you on the flip side!

Five for Friday {Sub Edition}

Clearly New Year's resolutions are not going very well for me. I vowed to post once a week - no exceptions - and looked here I skipped last week entirely. I went with what would be a quick and easy post since I have to get up bright and early to sub tomorrow. The Five for Friday linky is always a good one for me and clearly I am past fashionably late and just tardy for the party. Thanks for hosting and keeping the linky live for all us late bloggers Kacey! 

I subbed every single day last week and learned quite a few things along the way. Here are 5 things I have learned about subbing in a week's time.

If you have any subbing tips or tricks I would love to hear them! Hopefully I will catch on to this blogging thing with a consistent schedule and be back later this week with a post to make up for lost time! Have a wonderful work week! Friday is just a handful of days away!
