I would love love love one of those reallllly expensive swings sets where they come to your house and set it up. The reality is we will get one from home depot and spend 3 months trying to put it together ourselves.</div>

We really do need a fence. Our house is on a corner lot, so needless to say our Monsters don't want to play "in" the yard they prefer to run in the road and play with the rocks!</div>

I can't believe it's already April! When I first starting blogging I came across Farley's blog and every month she does a linky called, "Currently." It's a great way to meet and learn about different bloggers!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Finally found some time to link back up with Farley for her April Currently. </div>

<br />
LISTENING:I love when I put my little monsters to bed at night. I bring the monitor downstairs and just listen to them talk to each other-not that I can understand any of it-I am secretly thinking "please just go to sleep" haha<br />
<br />
LOVING: We have had a pretty rough winter here in the North East. The past two weeks have been so nice, the sun has been shining and the temperature has been close to 60 on some days-it just makes me happier! My little monsters love playing outside and it makes me look forward to spending the summer with them<br />
<br />
THINKING: One of my best friends from college is getting married and next weekend is her bachelorette party. I am so excited to hang out with my college girls, but I have so much to do at work and home that I am stressing....I have the parents coming in for a cultural food celebration next week and open house the week after....<br />
<br />
WANTING: I reallllly would love to go shopping for a whole new wardrobe. Since I had the girls I haven't really bought new clothes. There are so many cute shoes and dresses-I just want to spend a whole day shopping with no kids and endless money!<br />
<br />
NEEDING: Many of you know the my very first car, SHAKIA, died. We still haven't figured out if we are going to lease or finance a car. When I go away for my girls' weekend, my hubby will be home with the girls without a car...so WE NEED A CAR<br />
<br />
ADVICE: As I give this advice I want you to know that I struggle with comparing myself to other bloggers, spending endless nights staying up late creating products for my TPT store and thinking about what I should write on my blog..but I am going to try to set more realistic goals and set aside an allotted amount of time each week.<br />

What a crazy Monday. I woke up this morning thinking I had parent teacher conferences, but no that's next Monday (I wasted a nice outfit) and I had to reschedule all of Friday's conferences because we had a snow day, and to top it off I had my unannounced observation today. Ahhhhhhhh...it wasn't as stressful as I thought it would be-but glad it's over! Last Monday my car stalled in the middle of the highway-the transmission and the engine died --- so now we need a new car! I loved my kia :o( she gave me 10 good years-RIP ShaKia! <br />

Going back to work and trying to keep up with my blog, my TPT store and the rest of my life .....ahhhhh... it was a little overwhelming. I give so much credit to all of those working mommies who can manage alllll of these things. But I am going to try and be more productive and organized. While trying to get back into my blog and running my TPT store I noticed I finally reached 100 followers at my TPT store...YAY!!!! To celebrate my entire TPT store is on sale and I've added a common core math freebie! <br />

Now that they are moving around like crazy, it's actually a little easier to take them places. Yesterday we went to the NY Aquarium and they LOVED running around-as for the fish and other marine life,they weren't all that into it! hahaha<br />
