So very dark...

LOVE Jack Sparrow. (Named my dog after him)

These days are so dark and full of not much fun. I try to stay positive, and I do love this time of year, but it's 5p.m. here and it is pitch black. It feels more like 10p.m. (It doesn't help when I fall asleep at 4 on the couch! Eek!) But, I need to keep positive. I am going to work out and feel a little better hopefully! Today I worked a morning shift in a grade 2/3 classroom. It was tough. One little boy gave me a hard time (but I felt so bad for him) He gave me a big hug at the end of the day too. Kids. Baffling. They really are a sweet group though. I get to teach them again next week. I've been booked a lot the past few weeks, which is absolutely amazing. Makes me feel great :) It's really neat to see different ideas that teacher's use in their classrooms as well. I've added a photo of a really cool writing exercise this class was working on. Pinterest! I've seen it on there before. Pinterest is so amazing as a teacher. So many great ideas. And the funny thing is, most older teachers don't really know about it. Younger teachers do. The ideas are just amazing. I got to have lunch with Joe today at least before he went to work. We just went and got a sub. I wasn't feeling so good for awhile there, but I am starting to feel a little better now. 19 days until Christmas. I cannot believe it. No presents bought (except a few for Joe) We are going to have to kick it into high gear this weekend. I have so many ideas for homemade gifts that I really want to do. It's going to happen! (I am totally ripping off someone else's idea, but I figure it's ok if I'm not selling them and just giving them to family! I'll post a picture when we get them done this weekend:) And it's my loves 27th birthday. He doesn't want to do anything, but I really want to make him feel special. Maybe a bon fire and some beer will do the trick :) Ok, I'm going to make myself do a workout and perhaps clean the house a little while listening to some great music. PLUS, Here are some of my favourite things this week!
This is the Santa's Stuck writing activity that the class I taught today did. SO CUTE! 

A little girl made this for me. Ha. Joe said: You don't have a pig nose!  (And apparently I'm a raging ginger...I am.)

This sums up how I felt today perfectly (via my pinterest page : I need to figure out how to link things!)

I love organization. And I love this journal. (found on Pinterest of course) I will do a post on my "Smash" journaling soon. I can't get enough of it! 



I am living off coffee today. And I love this drawing. 




The Princess Bride is on tv right now. I love this movie so much!



I am so into Ed Sheeran lately. His music is so calming and makes me feel great. I've added the song "Wake me Up" because I adore the lyrics and I've probably listened to it 25 times in the last 24 hours.
