Oregon, Teaching Licensure, and Professional Development

I went through the grueling process of renewing my State of Oregon teaching license this year (Initial I-->Initial II). What fun that was...but now it's over for a few years.

Having just been through all this, I already have some concerns about doing it again in 3 years. One of my problems is that it's highly unlikely that I'll be working full-time at any point during this time (mostly by choice, partly by the general shittiness of the job market), so I'm wondering what that's going to look like when it comes time to renew again.

Also, the 75 hours of professional development requirement is going to be tough to meet once I have two diaper-wearing kids at home. I'm not working for a school district, so it's not happening automatically (via inservices or district trainings), so I'm wondering how I can fulfill that while I'm unemployed or marginally employed.

Given the state of the job market for educators, I can't be the only person wondering about this. I know a fair number of my former classmates are unemployed (or employed outside of public education), so if anyone else out there finds they're having the same questions, here's a few resources that may help somewhat:
