I was substituting for a 5th grade today, and while they were writing down their homework I realized I had a huge craving to help somebody with their homework. Sitting at the dining room table, going through math problems, helping with a science fair project .. I really have fond memories of working with my parents .. eventhough I was a terrible procrastinator and I’m sure I drove them absolutely crazy with my late night reports I huge part of me really hopes Liz and Ella will be living closer by the time Ella is bringing home homework. 

So today I decided to make the investment and re-apply for my teacher certificate in computer science. This year with all the budget cuts, I know I wont be getting full time employment anytime soon. But the temporary certificate is good for 3 years, anywhere in the state. If President Obama can actually make changes with our education system, and build new schools, and employ more teachers, I figure I’ll be ready. Plus doing this now means if there are any job fairs this spring or summer, I’ll be able to join the hunt. We’ll see how this all plays out.
