Adventures with cabin fever

Great movie. Loved it. But actually having cabin fever? Awful.

So we've been indoors, with the kids, all four (sometimes five) of us. Together. For 6 straight days.

I love my family and all, but being in that close proximity with them for that long is rough. And to top it off, Steven and I were not able to leave the house, just the two of us. Our babysitter was too sick or too busy. So we just stayed home that whole time. I have to say, being here at the public library....alone, feels REALLY good. I think Steven's glad to be back at work as well. I know I would be.

Speaking of work, it seems I am trapped in yet another dead end. After looking and looking it seemed like I had finally found a school where I could get what  I need (which is a post-bachlatory or Masters in Education/teaching certificate). So I sent them my transcripts, I spoke with my advisor, everything looked honkey dory. Until they got my transcripts and I was missing four stupid classes. DAMN. They do have a BA program that would get me a teaching degree, but I am only missing four classes. I could easily knock them out at a community college. But now I am back to square one. I am probably not going to be able to get into school until the summer at the earliest, and that means not getting into grad school till next fall. What I may end up doing to going to Saint Martin's University. They're literally right down the street. I didn't want to go there, because I really wanted to study online; the cost of daycare rivals our mortgage. But I really don't want to not be able to get a job until 2014. That would suck.

Anyone know a place to get a fake degree?
