Sunday Scoop

I haven't done this linky in a while, but I really like how it helps you lay out your plans for the week. Of course, when I started it, I realized that I'm actually ahead this week (for once) and didn't have a ton to say. Still, I wanted to participate!



Have to: Our house is on the market, so I feel like we're constantly cleaning. This weekend was the first in a few weeks that we didn't have any showings, so we slacked a little. With two dogs and a toddler, though, we are in MAJOR need of some vacuuming! And this book, I've had it on my list for about a month now and just haven't gotten around to reading it. Oops!

Hope to: Like I said, I'm a little ahead right now. Everything is already copied and ready to go for this week. BUT I want to go ahead and finish everything up to Spring Break before this week's over so I can focus on plans for after break before I leave April 3. I actually only have about 4 weeks of teaching after break before I start being pulled to help with testing, and then I go out on maternity leave! Crazy, huh?
As far as the home life goes, I just started Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn (Gone Girl author). So far it's pretty good, but I need some time to sit and enjoy it.

Happy to: Like I said, maternity leave is just around the corner (10 weeks away actually), but I haven't done ANYTHING to really prepare. I mean, we have all the necessities from Keagan (except diapers), so it's not that big of a deal. Still, I can't wait to start putting his room together. Since our house is on the market, we're not really doing that yet, but I do want to go ahead and get the bedding. Pottery Barn Kids has some cute bedding that I'm looking at. Just need to make a decision...

What are your plans for the week?

  2. Strategies That Work is one of my go-to books! I can see it on my shelf right now. :-) I've tried books by Gillian Flynn other than Gone Girl, but they were a tad too dark for me. I'll keep you posted about The Girl on the Train. I was hoping to start it tonight, but a few hours of grading turned in to several and now it's almost bedtime. Where does the time go?? Have a great week!

  4. Choosing bedding for a nursery was hard for me....both times! I'll have to check in with you later to see how you liked Sharp Objects. I'm on the waiting list for that one.
