Where has the time gone?
Sunday, January 20th, 2008Wow! It’s been over a month since I’ve blogged (thanks to Kim C for reminding me
). I have 100′s of excuses, but I’ll share the 2 most relevant – NC Wise training and Wii.
Yep, hubby got a Wii for Christmas and we haven’t stopped playing since he opened the box. Guitar Hero is GREAT! Before we got it, I thought, what a dumb idea. Well, let me tell you – it’s fun! Hubby also likes his Godfather game. Can’t say I enjoy that too much.
The other time consumer has been NC Wise. Boy oh boy, have the ITF’s in my county spent a ton of time preparing and training the teachers. If you aren’t from North Carolina, NC Wise is an on-line attendance, record keeper, grade book, and endless other programs. It’s going to be great, but you know how teachers don’t like change. So far, the schools I have trained have been positive except for a couple of exceptions. One teacher slammed her mouse down and exclaimed she was more frustrated than I could ever imagine. Another just completed ignored me and talked during the entire training. But, you have to smile and be patient.
I know I only gave 2 excuses reasons for not blogging, but there is one more small reason. Chloe, our 4 month old Great Dane puppy, has been, well a handful. She’s doing very well on her housetraining, but she’s all puppy. She gained 16 pounds in 4 weeks! She was 51 lbs at her last check up on January 4th. We have enrolled her in puppy obedience class at Petsmart. We’re in a class with a 4 lb yorkshire terrier. It is for lack of better words, interesting.
I’m leaving on Wednesday morning to fly to Florida to attend the FETC. I am so excited! I hope that Edublogs will stay up so I can live blog. Everytime I’ve tried that though, Edublogs went down on me. I might have to add it to my wiki first, then upload it to my blog. Stay tuned – I hope to have some great info to share!
Until next time ~ Danita
