My new {school} year resoultions!

[1] DRINK LESS COFFEE

…or at least not go to Starbucks AS much…

trying to save money for wedding.

I don’t know how this one will go, but I did have a dream last night that I had a spot in my classroom for my Kuerig and all my cute little coffee mugs I’ve accumulated as teacher gifts 🙂 It was heavenly.

[2] TAKE MORE PICTURES!

Gosh darn this one frustrates me! It is always 10 minutes after a lesson when I’m reflecting on how great (or not so much…) it went that I realize I didn’t take any pictures to document the lesson! I am hoping that since I have a blog now, I will remember to take more!

[3] NOT THROW EVERYTHING AWAY

I have the opposite problem of most teachers. All my colleagues hold onto ev-er-y-thing. Seriously, everything. I don’t know what for or when they will use it again or if it is worth having all the extra storage space, but me? I am an addicted purger. I throw away everything. If I have a pile on my desk and it should be sorted through, organized, filed neatly away… I look from left to right to see if anyone is looking and rush right over the recycling bin. This is a great feeling of relief. Then the obvious, “oh crap! I needed that! “comes in about a week or two later. Am I the only one with this problem?! 

[4] HAVE FUN (outside of school)!

I already have fun IN school. All day, every most days!! Sometimes I have so much fun, I stay on the weekends. My goal this year is to try my darnedest to remember my life OUTSIDE of work. I have to come to the realization that there will alwaysalwaysalways be something to do for school. I could always make something cuter, better, more effective, but sometimes I need to take a break and have some me time! Or at least some me and hubs time!

So there you have it! My new {school} year resolutions!

Will you hold me to them!? Pretty please. The future hubs is a softy and he never does.

Thanksabunch!
