It's Friday, Friday!

Here's my second Five For Friday, a linky party by Doodle Bug Teaching where you post five random things from today or this past week and on your blog...




#5 - Sicky Sam is not a happy Samantha... I caught the Cold on President's Day and spent the whole day off (and the following days) sick as a sochi dog! Came in to work for 2 hours on Tuesday before I couldn't take anymore and sent myself home! Today is the first day I feel most like myself, thank goodness!


#4 - My apartment is directly beside this beautiful view... I get to see the pool every day and long for it to be just hot enough for me to lay out in the sun and blog form the comfort of the lounge chair!


#3 - Home Sweet Home! We have a long way to go, still quite a few boxes to go through and furniture to buy (yay!), but it's our home and we are feeling so very blessed and happy!


#2 - My CDA workbook and competency Standards came in! My school is so amazing that the Director personally offered to have me reimbursed for half the costs and fees associated with the assessments, including books, etc.! How cool is that!? Also, and this was a big Sob-In-The-Bathroom-Stall-For-2-Minutes-In Happiness Moment, my Dean came by today and told me he recommended me highly to the Principal for a Leadership position for next school year! It really made we swell with pride (Lord forgive me) that all my hard work goes noticed by the Administration. Feeling happy in my career right now <3


#1 - This week (yeah right, this MONTH) has really shown me how far hard work can take you, and that through all the struggle it paid off in His blessings. I am so grateful for wonderful co-workers, administration, family, spouse, and it gives me hope for the coming year.

And that, ladies and gents, is my 5-4-Friday ;)

Yours Truly,

CURRENTLY

Happy Valentine's Week! It is time for February's CURRENTLY by Farley over at Oh' Boy 4th Grade! 


LISTENING - One of the little joys (not even being sarcastic lol) of being the receptionist is that I get to hear the goings on of the school. The pitter patter (screech) of sneakers in the the hallway, the Lunch room madhouse, the teachers running through their lessons. It puts me at ease :)

LOVING - Relaxing at home! We are finally set in our routine and Mr. Who and I are very happy and cozy <3

THINKING - Ordered my CDA Textbooks so I am so eager to get them in the mail and start studying!

WANTING - Trying to find the right dining room set... don't even mind sanding it down and staining it differently, but all the ones I find are butt-ugly and wibbly-wobbly. I'm trying to make a home here, not buy something that's going to break the second we sit down!

NEEDING - Yea, this is my lesson I'm going through right now. I took on more than I should have last month so I felt overwhelmed. I'm learning to cut back and that it is OK to say NO sometimes. It doesn't mean I can't be helpful, it jkust means I can't commit myself to every single project... and that's ok :)

2 TRUTHS/1 FIB - LOL...

TRUTH - Obviously I'm getting my CDA
TRUTH - Obviously I was overwhelmed
FIB - I'm the leader of the nut house it feels like lol

Happy Valentine's Week!
