Testing

I graduated from cosmetology school in April, & I had planned on taking my state board test the first of June. When I got my scheduled date it was when Josh & I were going on vacation, so I had to reschedule. Since I couldnt take the May test bc Josh's freind got married...in Chicago....& he was in the wedding, and then I had to reschedule bc we were going to be out of town again, my new plan was to take my test in October or November. I though November would be better, but as long as I had it done before the holidays, it didnt really matter. And then September came....suddenly every plan or idea I had went out the window. Now, here I am, 8 months out of school & I have absolutely NO desire to take my test. Even if I wanted to take it, I couldnt right now. Rylee's doctor & therapy schedules dont allow the prep time or the 12+hrs that it will take me to test. (The test is 8hrs & its in Frankfort & I would have to be present for my score.) So, now what do I do? Eventually, Rylee's appointments will taper down, but I dont know if I will ever have the time to study for my test. And to be honest, I really could care less about doing hair. I think that I will want to do hair again, but I really dont know what the next few years have in store for me. There is absolutely no way that I will be able to put the time & effort into establishing a "book" right now, but if I dont test & then follow that with my apprenticeship, I will lose all of my 1800 hrs. This means that when I do decide to do hair, I would have to repeat hair school. I do NOT want to do that! So, I guess the only solution is that at some point soon I have to start studying & then sign up for a test date.

Now that I have put it in writing, maybe I will be motivated to actually do it! Rylee wont be a baby forever, & even if we have more children, they wont be babies forever either. So, I have to remember that there is life outside of mommyhood.
