So I went and got certified in CPR this morning.  Who needs to sleep in when you can learn to save a life?  Actually my reasons are not so noble.  I need CPR training so that I can get my teaching credential.  What else do I need to know to teach?

This week will be my last week in second grade.  I will have completed 9 weeks of second grade for my multiple subject credential.  I bought them ice cream yesterday and we watched the video of me teaching them.    My next nine week assignment will be in special education - learning handicapped to be precise.  After that - who knows!  Hopefully I will be able to get a job.  Thank you Arnold Schwarzenegger for deciding to cut the education budget by MILLIONS of dollars.  That’s what we get for having an actor for a governor.  Better than having one for president I guess - wait!  we already did that too.  Well, I had the foresight to get two teaching credentials so maybe that will help.  I could go off on a political rant here but won’t.

I watched my video and am still alarmed at how fat I am.  Three months from now, I won’t be as alarmed.  But I can’t give up now - I have seen the proof.  And it is not pretty.  One day at a time.  That’s all I can do.  So I will deal with today and tomorrow will come soon enough.

I need to go do the treadmill.  I did nothing yesterday but yoga on Thursday night about kicked my butt and why torture myself more than I need to?

Have a happy day!
