Listening: Silence! Moms, you totally understand how glorious this is when you have a toddler. I relish in the quiet I get for a couple hours each night.
Loving: I don't go back for a month. A GLORIOUS month! I am going to love every second of our late start this year. We always head back the week before Labor day, which just happens to be late this year. It's pretty great.
Thinking: starting to put some ideas together for my classroom. I haven't gotten serious yet, but I have some new thoughts!
Wanting: Does this need explanation? Summer nights.... :)
Needing: I'm thinking tomorrow we will hit the beach. We live so close to the coast that it's hard to stay away in the summer time! It's been too long for people who live so close.
RAK: I love the idea of doing some random acts of kindness for BTS. Who doesn't love a good treat in the teacher's lounge??
Enjoy August, everyone!
I go back in 10 days. Can't believe how fast summer has gone by. Enjoy your month and have great school year!

10 days- eek! That is so soon. I hope you have a great year, too!
DeleteOh sweet silence! I love some quality silent time just to myself :-) And everyone enjoys some sweet treats in the lounge :-)
ReplyDeleteThe silence is seriously great, isn't it? Of course, I may cherish it even more as my child plays with his electronic keyboard toy as I type.... :)
DeleteLast night we had Orange Leaf and it was delicious!! Lounge treats is a great idea! I am thinking I need to do the same.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Orangeleaf! Thank goodness it is in the next city over... if it was in my city I'd probably need to go to the gym a whole lot more! haha.
DeleteI'm planning a trip to the beach this weekend! I also live pretty close, so I want to do something fun on my last summer weekend! I hope you have a good trip!

Everything you posted I could sooooo do, need, or want! Beach- yes, Froyo- yes!, WISH- I had a quiet house for a few hours! LOL! Love your blog, it is great meeting new friends through this! Enjoy your last month and blessings!!! The Little Ladybug
ReplyDeleteIsn't a quiet house such a gift? But, on the other hand, if it were always quiet I would be terribly sad. I suppose there is such thing as too much of a good thing. :) Nice to "meet" you!
DeleteI would LOVE some silence! What a treat that is!! Have so much fun at the beach! That sounds amazing!! We did get to hang out at the beach for a few days this summer, but it took us a few hours to get there! Enjoy your month!!

Thanks- I love the beach! It's so much fun. :) Hope you enjoy your summer, too!
DeleteOh I am so jealous of the quiet house! I am currently listening to one toddler's frustration of not getting the shopping cart into the backyard. Another one is asking for juice and the 60lb dog is trying to climb in my lap while I am drinking coffee. Please tell me how you found a quiet house:) I need tips! Enjoy your day at the beach.

Oh my goodness... what happy chaos. :) My quiet house time is limited.... after bedtime for a couple hours! haha.... I take what I can get.
DeleteI love when my hubby goes for a run because I shut off the TV and enjoy the sound of silence. On days when he is at work, I can sit an entire day with no background noise. It's just so relaxing, not to mention the fact that it really helps me to focus. A beach day sounds lovely. I'm hoping to squeeze one in this coming week too!

There is really something to be said for silence, isn't there? I feel so much more centered when it is quiet! I don't mind a little quiet music in the background, either, but anything more than that distracts me. Unless I'm reading that is... I could read as a parade went by. I totally get "in the zone" when I read!
DeleteI am currently enjoying silence as well! I've got a napping 2 year old! :)
