Currently April


Listening: For Easter, my adorable teddy bear puppy (whose first birthday is quickly approaching) got TWO Easter baskets filled with all kinds of goodies! One of his favorites is a squeaky caterpillar! 

Loving: I definitely enjoyed having Friday and Monday off to enjoy some time with my family and catching up on some cleaning around the apartment!

Thinking: Unfortunately my school district does not have the luxury of a real spring break. They actually call it a Spring Recess. We only have off Friday and Monday, so it's really only an extended weekend. I guess I'll take what I can get!

Wanting: On Monday, we got the call that our offer was accepted on our dream first home! We went from meeting with a lender, to house hunting, to putting in an offer within three days! We were a little scared and unsure of the whole process but couldn't be more excited to have a yard as well as so many other things!

Needing: Thursday afternoon we had time to work on third quarter report cards. However, most of my time was spent in different meetings and cleaning. Therefore, I still have to find some time to finish them up before they are due! 

Advice: This is advice that I even need to listen to! I think too often we try so hard to be perfect and set such high standards for ourselves!

I know I didn't quite get around to my post that I had promised but the house thing has kind of consumed our thoughts this past week! I promise to post sometime this week with a little more about myself! I am rather proud that I was able to manage this Currently as my second post!

  5. Congrats on the new house.....how exciting and overwhelming all at the same time. Love your advice. How true it is! No one is perfect and I would be less stressed if I remembered that I don't need to be perfect! :)

  11. Congrats on your new home-there is nothing better!

    Love your advice! This year has been brutal with our kiddos expecting perfection from themselves. We've had numerous lectures about how it's ok not to get something right the first time and to work at something before you're successful at it! A concept that our society has taught our children not to accept and how they always need to be right=perfect. Yuck.
