Sudden Stress
This past week I made it through another stressful hurdle: finishing my progress reports. I was momentarily relieved until I finally got around to looking at how many professional development points (PDPs) I need to maintain my educator's license in Massachusetts. I underestimated how much I need by a lot and I am only halfway to what I need before my license expires next summer. Needless to say, I am very stressed thinking about this and I am not sure where I am going to find the time to obtain those hours. It's not like I was intentionally slacking on this. I just have a lot going on in my life between work and personal obligations. God forbid I take a few breathers! I found a few online courses that might be doable, but there goes my social life. Argh!
Besides this latest stressor, things haven't been too bad. Steve and I went on a "date" on Saturday. We went to see "Zack and Miri Make a Porno" (which was very funny btw) and then we went out to eat at a Thai restaurant. Steve flew to North Carolina on Sunday morning for work. He's going to be there until next Saturday. I miss him quite a bit. The house has been very quiet without him. I haven't done much besides work. However, I had yesterday off for Veteran's Day so I went to the Christmas Tree Shop with Steve's mom and we stocked up on Christmas supplies. I can't believe it's already getting to be that time of year. I am dreading Christmas shopping, especially now that I have to worry about getting all those PDPs to keep my license. Maybe I will just go out and buy a stack of gift cards. That would make things much easier. Heh. Yeah, right. I hope that I can reach this goal and still have a life.
