Five for Friday...YES to Friday!

Whew, it's been a long one but if you're reading this it means you made it to Friday!  GO YOU!!!  Why does the week back after winter break almost seem longer than the first week of school!?!  No worries, I'm all snuggled on the coach with a beverage and my fuzzy Star Wars pajama pants on because the bikini weather finally left SC and it's actually cold here!  So, without further ado, let's get Five for Friday under way!




 Flipped the page to January in my self made planner and this was what hit me in the face!  Great way to start the new year!  Now if I can just keep it in mind day in and out!
Back on track with regular runs and feeling really good!  My speed is increasing (when I least expect it...cuz I suck at pacing myself!) and I even am getting my distance back.  I am running the Walk for Life 10K in the morning and am pretty excited about it because it's my first race since surgery!  Wish me luck!

My peeps came for a late Christmas celebration!  We had good times and my sis & bro-in-law gave us this awesome game!  Sequence.  My BIL even made it which made it pretty fabulous!  Look it up! It is a super fun game!
And yes, that is a hammock hanging in the sun room!  The hubs thought that would be cool.  Two actually hang in there and the boys both have them in their bedrooms as well!

Shhh, I'm really glad that school is back!  I miss my babies when school is out!
These are my after school kiddos.

We missed our Dorothy girl a lot!

This ham bone even read to us his favorite smelly book!
It was a good, good week!

My small punk and I have started reading this together before bed.  It's one of my favorites and I have been begging him for a while now to let me read it to him.  He finally gave in and he loves it!  Its a great book about a 5th grade girl who has been labeled and she simply doesn't like it.  It's a great lesson for kids, a great reminder for teachers and a wonderful life story.

Stay tuned next week...or maybe during this coming week for some really fun Sight Word stuff I've been working on with my kiddos.  They love it and I think you will too!

Have a great week and relax a little this weekend!

Summer Reads! (A Linky!)

Can't beat time to sit down with a good book!  For me that rarely happens during the school year so now that summer is here I have already zipped through 2 books!  Thought I would share those with you and share what I have on my To Read list as well!  After you check them out, hop back over to Lucky to Be in First and take a look at all the other teacher bloggers that are enjoying a good book!

The Summer Girls was finished this morning!  I've become a little hooked on Mary Alice Monroe so now I need to read them all! :)  They are set in Sullivan's Island, South Carolina and it's a story of sisters in the summer!  This is the first one in the trilogy!  Can't wait to read the other two!

Love Walked In by Marisa de los Santos is a wonderful story of family and life.  Everything by her is great!
The Precious One is another favorite by Marisa de los Santos.
The Shelter of God's Promises is a great Bible Study that I just finished with my small group.

And then a few that are on my to read list...


The Summer's End and The Summer Wind by Mary Alice Monroe are the next two in the trilogy!
Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty seems to be on everyone's list so it sounded good.
All Joy and No Fun by Jennifer Senior is a book I picked up at a teacher conference after hearing her amazing keynote about how tough it is to be a mom!

So, this is just a few that I plan to dive into this summer!  Stay tuned for more good books as the summer rolls on!

Don't forget to hop back to Lucky in to be in First to see all the other teachers who have linked up!  MANY great books to read this summer!
