National Board Certification

Last year I decided to become Nationally Board Certified in Teaching.  It was a chore....then in November I found out I was 12 points away from passing...Grrr!  So I decided to "bank" my good scores and try again on 2 entries. 
I knew about this in December....however I am a procrastinator by nature. 
So I waited.
and waited.
and waited.
Until Spring Break and then I said..I'm going to have all this time I'll get it done.  However, Spring Break came and went and the entries didn't get done.
When is this project due you ask?  Are you getting worried for me?  Weeelllll... the due date is April 15th.  Yep today.  This crazy blue box had to be post marked today.
After a week of LATE nights, little time with Parker and Travis, and very little normal school/housework it's in the mail. 
Why then, are you still up at 11PM tonight you ask????
To work on cleaning up the messes I made all week long when crazily trying to get this thing done!

Now let's just hope I pass this year, I really don't want to do this again! I'm pretty sure Travis and Parker don't want me to either! ;)

I stumbled upon your blog and had to comment! Good luck to you! I went through NB Certification twice. I was 11 points away after my second try. I had a baby about a week after finding out I missed it. While in the throws of postpartum depression, I was unable to complete my portfolio a third time. I read that you have little ones and I AM SO PROUD OF YOU and hope that you get that magic email message around November telling you that you passed!
