February Currently {Linky}

I am linking up with Oh’ Boy 4th Grade for February Currently!!!! 
Listening:
Not really to much in the background!!  Just the T.V. going and Shark Tank is on.   The girls are already in the bed and the Hubs is at a friend’s house.  So it is pretty quite around here {a rare moment, I might add}!
Loving:
The Hubs and I will finally get a date night tomorrow!  It is our first one in months and it is very much needed.  We actually had it scheduled a few weeks ago, but then the flu attacked our household.  I am so happy for some grown up couple time.  I am not even sure what the plans are yet, but as long as it does not involve kids running around me in circles I am happy!!!
Thinking:
I have really been a slacker with blogging lately.  Between everyone getting sick at my own house and this cold weather keeping me trapped in my classroom ALL day long with kiddos, I am completely worn out by the end of the day.  I wish I could have had a few snow days.  I live in the northern part of Louisiana so the snow went to the south of me.  I was so bummed, I was hoping for a few days off.  It has  just been cold enough that we can’t have any outside recess and if it is not too cold then it is raining.  I am ready for warmer weather.  
Wanting:
My “Thinking” above leads into my “Wanting”.  I am so over all this cold weather.   I am ready for a little warm up.   I know most of my buddies up north are probably a little more use to this colder weather, but down here this is really, really  unusually cold for us.  Don’t get me wrong we have our occasional cold days, but it feels like it is just lingering.  And to think it is only February!!! 
Needing:
I have been doing fairly well with all my New Year’s Resolutions, except working out.   I could count on both hands, ok probably just one, the amount of times I have worked out.  I really need to try and get more motivated.  I am going to blame it on all this weather and being cooped up with kids all day – ha!!!   I know that is such a copout, and I was just joking.  I totally take all the blame.   Well February is a new month and a new start.
2 Truths and a Fib:
1.  I have one foot that is slightly bigger than the other.  When I buy shoes, my right shoe is always really tight until I stretch it out with normal wear.
2.   I am not big on eating any sweets.  Don’t get me wrong, I love the occasional piece of cake or candy, but I really have to be in the mood for it.  It is not one of my weaknesses.  Now carbs on the other hand, that is a different story.
3.  My fib:  I am pretty good at looking like I have it together {most of the time}.  People always tell me how organized I am.   But the truth:   I am really organized, but sometimes I feel like I am running in circles.   I just keep smiling and going because as a mom, wife, and teacher that is just what we do!!!
Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek!  Be sure to link up, I can’t wait to read your Currently!!!

    We have Shark Tank recorded here but have been too comfy by the fire to go watch it. I love that show; it always inspires me to think outside the box! Also, I'm totally with you on that carb craving thing… especially in the form of french fries!!!

    Haha, no one has it all together. I think we all just pray that it all goes well. But I have a feeling you aren't giving yourself as much credit as you should, that is a flaw us women seem to have. =) Just relax and enjoy your night with your man tomorrow! =) You DESERVE it!

    Yay for a date night! That sounds fun.

    We've watched Shark Tank a couple times and enjoyed it, but I always forget it's on.

    Oh how i wish I didn't like sweets! I need to make that a resolution. I'm ready for warm weather too. It is just mild and humid here. Pick cold or hot, but not this weird stuff!

    Hey there— Love your blog Thanks for sharing your currently February! I think that so many of us feel like we don't have it together…. even when it looks like we do. That's all part of it. At least you appear calm, cool and collective on the outside even if you're not feeling it on the inside. That's half the battle in my mind! 🙂 Have so much fun on your much needed date night. I think I'm going to have to make one of those happen soon. This cold weather just has us in a funk!!! Enjoy!

This is how many students act in 2026. Teachers will identify with every single one of the students I portray here. Funny teacher video.

So what is this you might ask? It is my last minute version of a craft for Ground Hog’s Day. I can’t be the only one who decides the day of to do a craft and wing it, right? It looks more like a bear🤣but it was suppose to be a groundhog with facts about Ground Hog’s Day. No directions required just pull construction paper and glue. You’re welcome!😉 ... See MoreSee Less

One of my most favorite boards in my classroom is this 👇🏻 bulletin board right here! This is how it looks at the beginning of each year. As the year progresses I hang student art work and writings up. At the end of the year I take the work off and it is in order, neat and tidy, and students now have a portfolio of their best 2nd grade work. The bright folders I use to match my classroom theme are cut in half and the sign is just typed up in PowerPoint.

Here is a link to the bright file folders I used on this board (I use the extra folders to keep stuff stored in my filing cabinet): amzn.to/4mS2GhY
