Listening: Oh Big Bang Theory, how I love thee. I'm sure I've seen the episode I'm watching right now about a million times but I'm still happy to sit and watch it! :)
Loving: 3 more days and I am ON HOLIDAYS!!! Much as I love my school, my classroom and my kidlets, I am oh so ready for a break. My big plans include: shopping, sleeping, reading and Pinteresting.
Thinking: I know that every teacher leaves a piece of their heart with their class when the year ends... but an extra big chunk of mine will stay with this year's babies. They were just an absolute delight every day - I will miss them a lot.
Wanting: Have you ever read The Bronze Horseman trilogy, by Paullina Simons? They are among my most favourite books ever, and I'm currently reading the second of the prequels. It's called Bellagrand. Imagine... a couple of hours on the couch with nothing to do but read! HEAVEN!
Needing: Today I had my last day with my kiddiloops, last night we had our Carols by Candlelight concert (that I organised), last week we were finishing reports and on top of all of that - teaching Prep is exhausting. I need a day or two of sleeping in and snoozes in the afternoon. :)
Favourite Tradition: I'm 31 years old... and the presents that I open on Christmas Day all still say 'From Santa'. My Mum says "If you don't believe, you don't receive!". I love that even though I'm a 'grown up' there's still a smidgen of Christmas magic in the air. :)
Well, that's about it from me! I'm off to take advantage of the TpT Cyber Monday and Tuesday sale and buy a few bits and pieces for the beginning of next year. My store is 28% off which makes my products a steal! :)

I am jealous that you will be on vacation after this week. Enjoy your time off. Have a wonderful Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI will feel the same in August when all the Northern Hemisphere bloggers are enjoying their Summer break! :)
DeleteI'm going to have to check those books out -- thanks for the recommendation! And I love your mom's Santa saying. So cute! :)
