Wow...I think I might have finally figured out how to do this.
I am off today and I am LISTENING to the rain outside as I pay bills, catch up on the DVR and just relax. There is a large bag of papers to grade, but I think I will save them for tomorrow.
I am LOVING that I have a lot of days off in October. I teach at a Hebrew Day School (more info in my blog). There are a ton of Jewish holidays in the coming weeks and I have lots of days off!
I am THINKING about the snacks I need to get ready for my daughter's volleyball team. I bought cute cups that say "Volleyball Rocks." I am trying to think of cool things to put inside and how I want to wrap them.
I am WANTING a date night with my husband. Work, kids, and running to a million activities has made this hard. I can't remember that last time we did something other than grocery shop or wait in a parking lot for a kid to finish practice. I am dedicated to finding a day this weekend to make this happen.
I am NEEDING to finish my benchmark assessments for my third and fourth graders.
TREAT of course! But I now realize that it should have been trick if I am not sharing a product. Wish I had some cool product to share, but I am new to the blogging/social media/product creation world. I wrote treat since my brain went straight to Halloween candy when I saw the option of trick or treat. How can you resist the small fun size packages? After an hour of figuring out how to save the picture, I didn't want to go back and change it to trick (Should have read directions sooner and paid attention). So....it is a small trick but it is keeping me sane at the the end of the day in third grade. I have a cup full of smelly markers. When we are filling out the planners I remind students that I am looking for the person who is being quiet, organizing their papers, and cleaning up their work area to pick the marker of the day for me to initial planners. I don't know what it is about smelly markers and being the one who has total control on the smell of the day, but it is working wonders!
