August Currently

I am linking up with Farley for August's currently. I cannot believe that it is already August. This summer has flown by!

Listening:

My dog has been barking and growling at everyone that goes by our house today. Some days she just looks out the window, but today she wanted to be a guard dog!

This is Sophie's favorite thing to do other than look out the window. (*This is a picture from last Winter. No, she does not wear a fleece vest in the Summer!) She has been so spoiled this summer. She has stayed by my side all day, every day. She is not going to be happy when I have to go back to work in a couple weeks!

This was Sophie on the 4th of July. She lets me put clothes and cute collars on her. She still gets mistaken for a boy, even in these frilly collars!

Loving:

Here is my new Lilly Pulitzer large agenda. I wanted to wait until Tax Free weekend to get it. Last year I had the mini version. It was fine, but I really wanted a larger one. I know that everyone is getting Erin Condren planners, but this is $28 and is perfect for my needs, and it is super cute!

There is a page with cute stickers in the front. I also love how each section or month has a tab. It makes it easy to flip to a certain month.

Each calendar tab has a monthly calendar behind it. After the monthly calendar there is a weekly calendar. I love that I can see a month at a time or see a week at a time. There is also plenty of room to write things on the weekly pages.

Each month has a cute Lilly print on it. I bought mine at a local store, but you can get them on the Lilly Pulitzer website with free shipping!

Thinking:

I live in Charleston and we have so many beaches by us. I really need to make one more trip to the beach before school starts. We are so spoiled to live close to the beach, but I never end up making it out there. I did get fried the one time I went this Summer, so that is part of the reason why I haven't been back.

Wanting:

I am so ready to get started in my trailer and meet my new students. For those that have been following my blog this summer, you know that I am waiting on my new classroom trailer. Our school is under construction and I won't be able to stay in my older trailer. I have also been told that there is a possibility that the new trailer will not be ready in time for school. I might have to start in the old trailer and then move to the new one! I am praying that the new trailer will be ready in time!

Needing:

I saw a post on The Bubbly Blonde Teacher's blog today where she transformed a wooden crate into a cute book box. 

I never though about sanding and painting a wooden crate. I have no idea why I never thought of it!! I went to the most dreaded place Walmart today and bought yellow and green spray paint to transform my wooden crate and a wicker basket. I am planning to paint my crate yellow and then add some green ribbon or some monkeys. I will be posting the finished results on Monday!

1st Day:

I cannot believe it is already August. This next week is my last free week. I am getting my hair cut on Wednesday, but other than that I have no plans. I also cannot believe that the first day of school is on a Monday. Our district has always started on Wednesday. A couple years ago they gave us a week off for Thanksgiving and shortened the Christmas break. The shorter Christmas break was not a good idea. Lots of people complained about it. This past year they went back to the original schedule. We are starting this year on a Monday, so we can have a full week off at Thanksgiving and two weeks off for Christmas/New Years. I'm sure I will love the breaks, but I am not looking forward to a 5 day week to start the year!

Thanks for stopping by to read my August Currently. Stop by my blog on Saturday to see an exciting post. I won a giveaway from Creative Teaching Press and it came today!!
