I've been thinking a lot about graduate school. I know I HAVE to go. If you are a teacher you have to! One for required professional development and two for more money!!
I'm loving this reading job and it makes me want to teach reading. Its a lot of fun! :) So, I've been reading up about grad school reading ed. programs. I think I've decided what I want to do.

I can take the first 6 classes online and then take the Praxis and I'll be certified to teach Reading in WV! After that all of those classes count toward a MA in Reading Ed. I want to start in the summer.
Also, I researched my sore throat symptoms online.... and I might have strep.... Its not bad right now, but if it gets worse I'll go to the doctor. I have insurance now!! YAY!

off to a rough start....
Oh gee. This morning was a little crazy. First of all, I woke up a few minutes late. My throat feels a bit sore...and so do my gums. I don't know whats wrong with me! So I took a little extra time and flossed and rinsed with peroxide.
Then I heard this noise downstairs. It sounded like what our heater was doing before those guys came and fixed it. So...I continued getting ready...but when I went downstairs I knew it wasn't the same sound. When I walked into the kitchen I realized that the freezer was OPEN!! A lot of the stuff in there was kinda thawed so I hope everything was ok. Apparently a bag of venison (from my Dad) rolled down and knocked the door ajar. That freezer must have been working really hard, because it was making a pretty loud noise.
After that... while I was eating my oatmeal, Kitsy threw up all over the carpet. Fantastic! So I had to clean that up. Luckily, I was only a few minutes late leaving. I don't know how I pulled that off.
At school today there are 3 teachers on our team that are absent!! I was supposed to have my room during planning today (Usually an 8th grade traveling teacher has the room, but they were going to the computer lab) But another teacher asked me if they could use my room to take a test!
I tried a few minutes ago to fill out my Marshall Grad. School application online, but the stupid internet filter here won't let me do it!! AGH!
Now I gotta go see if someone here will let me fax a paper over to the board office in Winfield. With the luck I've had this morning, I'm thinking it might be a long shot.
I think Jessica is gonna come over tonight and workout with me! :) I haven't heard from her yet, so I'm not sure.
ok...gotta go pee.

relaxing weekend.....
I feel like this has been a long weekend. Maybe its because of the snow day on Thursday. Maybe we'll get another snow day (or at least a delay) this week because the weather forecast has been looking snowy!! I think I would like a delay because then I still get paid! Wahoo!
Yesterday I was lazy all day long. I did get up and exercise, but after that I just layed in bed.
Jesse and I went to church this morning of course. It was a very good message about the first commandment. Pastor Wright is going to be preaching on the 10 Commandments for the next few weeks. The sermon podcast from this morning isn't posted online yet, but it will be shortly. Here is a link Maranatha Fellowship Online
After church we stopped over at Mary's (Jesse's youngest sister) house. She lives in St. Albans in a 2 bedroom house and she has 3 children. Jesse's oldest brother, Jeremy and his Moms husband, John are building 2 more bedrooms for her kids where her (basically unused) dining room used to be. The girls are so excited to be getting their own rooms!
After that we went to my parents house, as usual. When I got home, I was going to start working out...but I've been meaning to check out some information on graduate school...so I started doing that and I couldn't stop. I found out some very interesting information and I emailed someone about it. I guess I'm going to try to get started this summer.
After that I finally worked out...and now Jesse is b*&%$ing at me to give him the computer so I gotta go.

I have the best kitty ever!
When Kitsy is thirsty she just jumps right up on the bathroom counter and I turn the faucet on..and she laps it up. She rarely drinks water from her bowl. I know, shes spoiled rotten!
This morning it was all rainy and even thunderstorming a bit outside. My house was a little cool and my bed was so warm! Needless to say...it was an enjoyable morning of laying in my bed cuddling with my Kitsy. Normally Jesse would be there with us too....but today was his one Saturday a month to work. So he left us around 8:30.
I didn't get up until around 10:15. I ate some breakfast and drank some coffee. I had to unload the dishwasher so I could get rid of all the dirty ones in my sink...just so I would have room to clean out my coffee pot. After that I did my old favorite workout video (Self: Sculpt Sexy Legs Fast) and then I showered and tried to make myself pretty.
Jesse got home around 1:30 and then we went to Walmart. I got 2 tacos from TacoBell on the way home....and ever since then I've been messin' around on the internet. My butt is sore cause I've been sitting on it all day! :( Jesse is over at Ty's house watching football and I'm actually kinda bored.
I think I'm gonna go find something to eat for dinner.
