It’s JULY Y’all!

WOO HOO! July! July is summer… July is HOT… July is the 4th! July is family and friends and a roller-coaster of professional development and travel for Leach’s Literacy Training.  I’m on vacation right now, but in 13 days I will be hitting the ground non-stop until teachers go back to school! I’m getting my REST now!

So it’s time to blog for Farley’s Currently.  All the bloggers are getting excited about the big conference in Vegas. I worked that conference for five years in a row.  I don’t go anymore… but hearing everyone gearing up and packing certainly makes me miss it!  Have fun y’all!

Listening: There’s this girl on HGTV who is from Detroit- accent and all- and she likes to bring old houses back to their original beauty. They are usually houses about to be condemned or torn down and I just love her show! That’s what’s on the TV, but the TV is right by the door to the porch, which is open (screen door closed) and the birds are making all kinds of noises at the feeders.

Loving: July means a lot of things and it also means a trip HOME TO MY MICHIGAN. Affectionately called the Mitten!  Oh Michigan!  The cooler temps! The green grass! All the trees! The sounds, smells, events, of my childhood. Every summer brings a trip home and I couldn’t be more in love with my sweet state!

Thinking: So…. I’m pregnant! Yep!  Due early November! When I sit still (which isn’t very often) but is happening now, that’s when I feel him move (which only started a few days ago) and it is just amazing.  I’ll be seeing some of you this summer and I will be big as a house! Just wait!

Wanting: So for the reason above (so much to do before November) and because I’m on vacation- time just needs to slow down!

Needing: I have a bunch of material to prepare for my summer trainings on Literacy Work Stations for teachers across the state of Texas… I have the files ready… I just need to print… but there is nowhere to print in this town! I’m in a small town Up North in Michigan… I have time to do it later… but I just want to do it NOW and have it off the to-do list.  Oh well.  I will just have to wait.

All STAR:  It is so hard to think of things I’m good at and could post without y’all thinking I’m full of myself.  I guess I could say that I’m good at laughing!  I love to laugh! And it’s LOUD y’all! If you get embarrassed easily- I wouldn’t hang out with me- or my laugh!
