I'm Joining the Sale Too!

I may have put blogging on the back burner for a short while but I definitely didn't overlook the exciting news over at TpT. Three million?! Holy bananas that is a lot of teachers!

To celebrate, I am throwing a sale in my store along with many other awesome sellers. In addition to 20% off at my store, TpT is offering buyers 10% off using promo code TpT3. This means you will get a combined total discount of 28%! It's like black Friday all over again.

If you are like me and regret some of the purchases you didn't make while they were on sale for Black Friday, then now is the time to make up for that! I know I have a few items I am eager to get at such a great discount.

Load up your carts with all those wish-listed items you've been eye-ing! Here are some of my popular products I recommend snagging during the killer sale:

 

I featured this craftivity previously when I used it for my fourth grade resource room group. The kids absolutely loved it I received so many compliments from fellow teachers when we put them up in the hall. Check out my post HERE from when I used them to see how it went.

Still Here!

I’m still here! I’m still alive! I know it have been a while since I last posted or communicated via blogs. I promise I have not abandoned the blogging world!! 

You may remember that I mentioned a few times that the husband and I were looking for an apartment. I even mentioned in my most recent Currently post that we found the one we wanted. Well within a day of posting that, the apartment became available! 

The last week an a half  went a little something like this: 

*Squeal*

Call the husband

Make an appointment

Second guess ourselves

Make another appointment

Apply

Approved

Pay

Pack

Move

Unpack

*Sigh*

So to summarize, it has been a hecktick time period for the Root family. On top of all that, the husband and I have both been fighting a terrible cold the last week or so. 

On the teaching home front, here is what I've been up to. I declined both long term subbing positions I was offered after lots of talks with HR, other teachers and my husband. I did agree to a three week position in a Special Education Preschool at our district's B-E-A-Utiful new Early Childhood Center. 

 

I wish I had some better photos but this gives you just a glimps. The best part about subbing here is that some of my kiddos I worked with this past summer as part of my early intervention internship  now attend the preschool so I get to see them.    No updates just yet on the job front but I have been busy looking and applying. I will keep you all in the loop as soon as things get more settled.

 

Currently A Week Behind

If you read through this post you'll understand why I have been scarce on the blogosphere lately. I feel like I've gone a million different directions lately. But I didn't want to miss Farley's monthly Currently link up.

Listening:

Birthday by Selena Gomez. I am still in the birthday mood and this song is so much fun! I love that Selena has stuck to keeping her music clean so I have no hesitancy to play this song all day long!

Loving:

My husband got me the perfect wool coat for my birthday and I love it! Especially with the on-and-off rain here in Washington lately. I had been looking for the perfect coat since October so I am so happy to have found it. It made birthday shopping easy fro the husband considering my hints were rather to-the-point. I was very pick about what I wanted. Navy blue, wool outside with lining, below hip length but not too long, sewn on hood not buttoned or zippered, zipper front, pockets big enough I can actually use them, and a hood that doesn't swallow my small head.

Thinking:

Move, move, move! I am so eager to move into our new apartment that I am already calling it 'ours' before we've even been approved for it... or even applied... or officially talked to management....

 

Either way, we found the perfect apartements with a great loaction, close to where both of us work, close to our church, straight shot to the freeway, and in a nice area. They are also in our budget and decently sized. We WILL get into those aparements.

Wanting:

A life coach! I have been offered a few long term subbing positions the last couple weeks since I started subbing. I am having the hardest time determining what in the world to do. By Monday I am expected to give my answer to two positions at a school I have loved subbing at but have reservations about the positions. There are a million different factors and I have no idea what to do.

Needing:

HEAT!! It has been in the mid- 20's here rather consistantly the last few days. I DO NOT like the cold. I spent the last five years suffing through 6 month long winters in Eastern Washington and was really looking forward to the warmer winters here in Western Washington. I thought I was in the clear and now suddenly it's freezing in February! I am not buildt to last in such chilly wheather.

2 Truths and A Fib:

1. Truth! I have a purple butterfly tattoo. I got it my senior year of high school. Over the top of the left wing is has my youngest brothers name "Kalen" who passed away from SIDS when I was five.

2. Fib! If you've read my blog for a while now, then you know I have no children, not yet atleast. Just my husband and I.

3. Truth! Pineapple makes me all puffy, red, and itchy. I also can't have too much of other kinds of citirus either or my nose turns red and itchy! No hawaian pizza for this gal.
