Trying not to feel guilty...
My mother-in-law is in town with her boyfriend. I get along really well with them and was really looking forward to her visit. Scott wanted to take them to Wilmington today to see the battleship and just hang around; I had planned on staying home and studying, but I ended up going anyway and I really had a good time.
Tomorrow they are going to downtown Raleigh to shop and sightsee, and I want to go but I am going to try to resist and stay home. I've got 5 days until my wisdom teeth have to come out and I have to have all of this study material done before that happens. I just don't know if I'm going to be bouncing back from that procedure or not!
Test is one month from Tuesday. Nah, I'm not freaking out. I'm fine. But I cannot for the life of me figure out why my Xanax keep disappearing. Hmm...
My boss really got to me the other day. The credit union is paying for me (and anyone else who wants to) to get this designation, and for me personally it has been 2 and a half years of punishment. But I've gotten this far and I really want to finish. My boss has been very generous about allowing me to have time away from work to attend review classes, but she made it clear to me this week that I have to pass it in November because she's done making concessions. We're a very small department and it is felt when someone is out. But she does want me to finish, because when I do I'll be the only CFP in our department (at least for now, another girl got started on the self-study a month ago).
I really like my boss but that was SO much pressure to put on someone who is already feeling this fragile. I nearly cry everytime I test myself in these reviews that I have to do, because I'm just not testing well. In the 40-60% range every time (the review instructions say that the material is hard and I should not expect to do much better than 50-60%, but still...). I won't tell you what Scott said when I told him about our conversation, or how upset my mom was when I called her crying that afternoon.
I'm so ready to test, if not for the fact that once it's over I get about 6 weeks of peace before I find out my results, so I get to actually enjoy myself. I've invited my friend from Asheville down to visit and we're having a crop on December 2nd with about 3 other people. Scott and I are going to renovate the little closet in our spare room into a scrapbooking nook for me, so I'll have a place of my own that I can close off when I'm done working and not have to worry about little fingers messing with things. I have several albums that I have to work on for Christmas gifts and several that I have been commissioned to make by friends. And finally, I have four girlfriends who are pregnant and all due between January and May. I plan to make all of them baby scrapbooks and I plan to put lots and lots of love into them (love = time).
Anyway, I'll shut up now. I should update more, so that I don't blab on like this when I finally do get on here. :p
Thank you to my loyal readers and commenters. It's nice to know that you care. :)
