OK gang, today is my big test day at work. I have studied for 2 months for this and today is the day I take it. I came home last night from work and my SAH had two beautiful, supportive cards for me and then he took me out for steak. I got fil-a-minyon (sp?) mind you. Heck, that was worth the effort right there. I didn't even think he would even remember. Just made me feel so good. So then we came home and I have been reviewed ever since with intermittant sleep. I know I am supposed to get a good night sleep but I am somewhat nervous. Not like throw up nervous, I think I am even sort of excited nervous. I know I have studied, I have prepared but how much is enough to pass? I don't know. I just want this so bad. I just have to remember to just do my best. The world is not going to end if I don't pass and it won't affect my job if I fail. I am going to try to keep this in perspective. I pray I don't have a panic attack. So far I am feeling stable so I think I will be ok.
Other than the fact that I am beginning to feel the beginning stages of a fever blister and I have gained about 5 lbs in the last two months I don't have too much damage control to clean up after.
Gosh, just say a prayer if you do for HP's will in all our lives, for the good of everything and maybe some of the blessings will come my way. I have prayed too and I am just going to keep my head up and be strong. My husband took a big test at work and gave me pointers while we were eating.
I know I can do this. I just needed to check in with you guys. You are my lifeline now in so many things. Just so special you are. Thanks for all the support you have given me.
I will let you know how it goes this evening. Yikes!
Bellday, Good luck to you! I do believe that hard work is rewarded. It's great that you don't have the pressure of affecting your job or ending the world All you can do is your best, and knowing that you prepared is a good psychological motivator.
How sweet of your husband to not only remember, but to outwardly acknowledge it.
Blessings, Lou

You have prepared and your gonna do great! How nice for you that hubby acknowledged this challenge with encouragement. That connection with him is worth all the effort in itself, sometimes.
Good luck!
