Finally Done!

So i finally mailed my National Board of Teaching Standards portfolio yesterday...*sigh* I am so glad to be done with that part of the process, now I have to start studying for the 6 tests I will take on May 31st. Then and only then will I be "done" but have to wait till Nov. to see if I passed...total madness I tell you what do these people think I am made of patience???
On a lighter note, that means I have more time to spend with friends, and read books or watch tv. Oh yeah and of course there is always soccer that I have to get back to. I really need to start running again now that I have some free time, so I can play again soon...jeremy and I are going to look into a gym I think so we don't get any fatter... lol Speaking of soccer, I have to go coach...

Twilight Series

http://www.stepheniemeyer.com/

Click away and join my obsession...that and my friends should start reading it now! You know who you are...

Craziness of life

So, I found out yesterday from my friend Stephanie that Stephanie Meyer has a new book coming out called "The Host." Supposed to be kind of body snatcherish...and we can't wait till August for the 4th book to come out in the Twilight series...Also the movie of Twilight comes out in Oct, and on her website there are pictures of the characters and cars and whatnot and it looks totally awesome! My friends and I are just slightly obsessed... =)

On another note, I only have 5 pages left to write from scratch on my NBC portfolio, and 8 days till I have to mail it...so why am I on here you ask...because I've lost my mind and can't think of another stinkin' thing to write. I mean who wants to talk for 13 pages about two children's literacy development??? At any rate, I have to get it done because if I pass it means 5,000/year for 10 years...just a little incentive there.

On top of being stressed out about that...Guinness jumped out of the back of my car today when we got home from the dog park. (normal) He then proceeded to run into the neighbor's driveway and then back yard and then the two empty MUDDY lots next to them and then back to their backyard (not normal!) Jeremy and I were way stressed about it because we of course didn't want him to step on some construction something or worse continue to run away. We've also decided it's about time to get him fixed...we can't stand the craziness any longer but we don't want to do it too soon because we want him to grow to his full size. Despite the crazy puppy stuff he is still the cutest sweetest guy ever...and if you haven't met him in person yet, you definately should come over... =)

much needed girl time-

I went to dinner with some of my favorite girls tonite, and had a blast. I am so super stressed out about my NBC papers (one entry out of four to go), and it's due March 31st...yeah let the panic begin! So dinner out was just what I needed, and love my friends for talking about stuff ranging from books were are reading to issues with birth control and of course the cuteness of Parker. Anyway, I should move on to my paper again...so until later probably after the 31st. LOL!
