Happy Wednesday! It’s the first Wednesday of the month and I am linking up with Jennto share five things I am currently doing. Each month we share five different things and I think it’s a fun way to think about what’s going on. I’ve mixed up Jenn’s prompts lately so I am winging it today friends.

I am loving…

The weather this week. We have our windows open and it is lovely! The humidity is just about gone. The sun is shining and there is an easy breeze. It was pretty chilly yesterday morning at 5 am when I went downstairs, but it was great in the afternoon and evening! Our pool is closed for the season now, so this weather is perfect. It looks like the weather is going to hold for most of the week, too.

I am looking forward to…

This weekend! We don’t have anything we have to do during the day on Saturday and we have the crab feast at the pool Saturday evening. On Sunday, Jack has a golf tournament and Luke has a soccer game. Perfect for fall!!

The boys’ schools have Back to School Night this week and next week. Even though it is two late nights midweek, I am looking forward to meeting their teachers and hearing about all the good stuff they are going to learn this year. It is also a fun night to see my friends!

I am admiring…

Those sweet kiddos coming down the halls at school. Some of them are so nervous and missing Mom or Dad, but they are being brave and getting through the day. I do everything I can to reassure them and help them feel comfortable at school, but it’s tough for some. I admire their bravery and resilience, especially these first few days of school.

I am planning…

Everything! Now that we are officially back in school and Summer Sarah has headed off to rest up for next year, I am planning a bunch. I am back to consulting my calendar regularly. I am meal planning. I am planning out our evenings to make sure we don’t miss something for school or sports. I am planning my workouts for the month to include strength training, yoga, and walking/running. I am starting to look at some dates to get together with friends, too. I am a planning machine again.

I am making…

Myself go to bed a little earlier and get up when my alarm goes off. I quite enjoyed staying up later this summer and laying in bed reading in the mornings. That is great for summer, but it doesn’t work so well for my work days. I don’t want to lose that reading time so I am trying to be in bed at 9:00 and definitely before 9:30. That gives me a little time to read before I fall asleep. Right now, my morning alarm goes off at 5:20. I getting up to do a workout before school. Hopefully I can push it back to 5:15 or 5:10 soon so I can get 30 minutes of exercise in before school.

What are you currently doing? What are you looking forward to this month? I’ll be back tomorrow with a reading update. Have a great day full of sunshine and books!
