Sandy, Currently,Elf on the Shelf

First, my thoughts and prayers go out to those dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. My heart aches when I see the videos.


Second, Currently

 
This was a short week for me, as I said my mother's health is again not well. At one point last week, we thought she would have to go into the hospital. But the tests came back improved, so the journey out the woods is going. It was when the Doctor say the words failing....that I HAD to find something
good to focus on. Hence the 30 days of gratitude. So my week consisted of 2 days. We had today off for P/T conferences (ours were Tue/Th nights for the classroom teachers)

My coworkers and I did over my room for Halloween, had I not been out once or twice a week, I would had time to take pics. But will before I take it all down....and put up November. I soooo need a fairy godmother, with a flick of her wand my classroom and house could be clean and organized! Sigh, guess it IS up to me :) As for the music, for reading and labs, I share the room with computers so when not "teaching" the kids have headphones on, so I usually have Tim McGraw on!

Recently I registered above and received the The Elf on the Shelf I started pinning HERE....My mind is racing with a hundred ideas! Have you done this before and what have you done?
