krisbox2This blue thing has been staring at me out of the top shelf of our closet for close to a year. Seriously, last April we paid the first increment towards my national boards certification process and what was I rewarded with? This box that had written on the side: "IMMEDIATE ATTENTION REQUIRED!" Ahhhhh! Needless to say, I didn't give it immediate attention, it was too scary!

Those of you who know me well know that the last several months I have been holed up in front of a computer analyzing and reanalyzing lessons I taught in the past. I have been typing, editing, and rewriting. March 31 that all changed. That was the day "my box" was due. On my only sister's birthday, I rechecked and copied each piece of paper (approximately 85 carefully selected specimans) and then went to UPS to mail this box. I couldn't believe $9.85 was all they wanted for all of my work. Surely it was worth more than that!? But, I didn't complain, instead I verifyed that the receipt showed I did indeed send it to Texas that day and then I left. Now, I guess I just wait. I'll keep you posted..........
