The Animal Kingdom is Going Amuck

Well, I don't know what all is going on in the animal kingdom, but things must be really bad. This morning on my way to work there was a suicide bunny and a suicide mocking bird that tried to sacrifice themselves in front of my car this morning. Also, during dinner, a kamikaze bee flew directly into my face. Not sure what's happening, but you guys might want to watch out. Things must be really bad out there for our furry friends.

Anybody Out There?

Just wondering if anyone still reads this. Sorry it's been so long since I've posted. Things have been really crazy. I'm trying to wrap up the end of the year at school and I've been staying late at school each evening. Once I get home, cook dinner, and do some housework, there's not much time left to blog. :(

I guess the latest news in my life is that this next year I'm going to try to become a Nationally Certified Teacher. It is going to be quite a rigorous process, but the benefits at the end of 2009 will be worth it...that is, if I succeed. This afternoon, I sat down and downloaded the 400 page manual which explains the process. I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed.

So far, here are my summer plans.

Last day of school: June 11th
First week: Write curriculum for the World Languages Department
June 16-29th or 30th I'll be in Texas...reading the 400 page manual.
July 7-11th: I'll be at Youth Camp ...reading the 400 page manual.
July 27th -July 31st(ish): Going with Jodie to her family's cabin in New York. and...reading the 400 page manual.

I think I might name this summer, "The Summer of the 400 Page Manual".
