Hello and happy Wednesday! How is the month of May treating you? As a teacher and as a mom with two busy kids, I feel like I’m barely hanging on! Summer is in sight though, so I will cling to that good news.

It’s the first Wednesday of the month, so I’m linking up with Amy for Currently.

The Currently topics this month are…digging, weeding, enjoying, eating/drinking and shopping for.

I’m currently digging…up bushes in our front yard. Actually, I did zero digging…but Trav and Hayden did.

Travis used ChatGPT for his vision for this area out front. Step one was getting rid of some of the overgrown and dead bushes.

Amy also suggested that digging can be interpreted as something we’re loving, and I’m loving my new mini travel sound machine. I’ve had this saved on an Amazon list for quite a while, and I finally ordered it recently. We have a sound machine, but I wanted one that could be on my side of the bed and one that’s easier to pack for travel. This little guy is legit, and you can’t beat the price.

I’m currently weeding through/out my filing cabinet. All my English 1 files are in one drawer, and I want to keep it that way. I have so many extra copies that I’m going through the folders to recycle a few of the papers to help make everything fit. To be honest, most of what I save in folders probably doesn’t need to be saved because I keep master copies in binders for each unit. Also, of course, most things I can print again if needed. I guess old habits just die hard, but at least I’m trying to purge a little.

I’m currently enjoying some of the teacher appreciation “perks.” We’ve been served bagels and coffee the past couple of mornings. Also, one of my teacher friends went to Joella’s Hot Chicken to pick up our lunch on Monday; teachers got a chicken tender meal for free! It’s the little things.

That being said…

I’m also enjoying this set from Amazon. I’ve shared it before, but since I’ve been wearing it more and more, and I want to order it in another color, I thought I’d share again. It’s perfect to wear as separates or together, and I get compliments every time I wear it. I wanted to wear something comfy on Monday, and this fit the bill.

I’m also enjoying getting some steps in every day. I’ve been very intentional with going for walks nearly every day this past month. The fresh air has been just what I needed.

I’m currently eating/drinking…

I’m still in my iced coffee era. Right now, hot coffee doesn’t even sound good to me. A fun glass makes iced coffee taste even better 😉

As far as eating…I’m not eating too many sweets, but I couldn’t resist a couple scoops of mint chocolate chip (my fave!) ice cream at my nephew’s game the other night. Ice cream and baseball…what an all-American combo.

I’m currently shopping for… birthday cards…May is a big birthday month, and I also needed to pick up a Mother’s Day card. After school yesterday, I went to Target for a few things besides the cards. I picked up the Chobani S’mores creamer that I love as well as some snacks for school, the Shirley Temple flavored Poppi, some Tru Fruit, bananas, and the Starbucks Acai Refresher for Hadley to try, and a few others odds and ends.

It was a productive Target run.

What are you currently up to?
