Currently.....September!

I love linking up to Oh Boy' Farley's Currently Linky Party!

Listening -  Have you tried blogging with a 90lb "puppy" also trying to sit in your lap?  Well, let me tell ya...it's not that easy.  Love that dog but boy does she like your constant attention!!!

Loving -  I'm not going to lie these 3-day weekend has been nice!!!!  And knowing I only have to work for 4 days this week is feeling pretty good!

Thinking - We've just made some changes at our school with the ESE students (what we call special ed).  The self-contained classroom was getting WAY overfilled.  So I've taken 5 of her 1st & 2nd grade students to make my own homeroom class plus I still have my resource students.  So now I've got students all day long (and they are a sweet, sweet bunch of girls) and a lot of coming and going out of the classroom.  I've been feeling pretty overwhelmed about trying to figure out how to teach all of the students and meet their needs.  I know I'll figure out a system and lesson plans.......right now I'm feeling super overwhelmed!

Wanting - Saturday and Sunday were so nice but I wasn't able to make it to the beach.  We were planning on going today (I can lesson plan there right?) but I already hear thunder.  Let's hope it passes quickly!

Needing - I've been trying to eat healthier and make better choices.  This weekend......not so much!  I've been working hard at boot camp 4 times a week the last 6 weeks and I've lost almost 10lbs.  I'm super happy about the changes but it does take more planning.  I really need to get to the store today or this week will be shot!

Favorite Things - Here's some great recipes I've tried off Pinterest lately that I've loved!

1.  Roasted Chicken in the Crockpot - Oh man, this chicken is so simple but soooo good.  I've been making it once a week.  Not only does the chicken taste good but then I can use the leftovers for chicken quesadillas and my lunch!  Double win!

2.  Pork Carnitas Tacos in the Crockpot - These tacos were YUMMY!!!  A huge hit at my house and with my neighbor.  There were also leftovers that I took for lunch.  We'll probably put this in our weekly rotation, too.  It was delicious!

*Disclaimer - These are not my photos but came from original blog.

Does anyone have great crockpot recipes to share? I can see this being my saving grace to still eating healthy now that I'm back to work.
