FINALLY........

I wouldn't go to far as to day that today is the best day of my life but it is pretty darn close!!! I suffered through 3 long, dreadful, nagging, tough years of graduate school at Jackson State University. In May 2007 I lived to graduate with a Masters of Social Work. For those of you who are not familiar with the social work profession, to get a ok social work job on the bachelors level you have to be licensed, to get a descent job you have to a masters degree, and to get a good job you have to be licensensed with a masters degree in social work (LMSW). Thankfully when I graduated on the bachelors level I took the exam and passed the first time. That was SO not the case on the masters level. Luckily I had my bachelors license to fall back on so I was able to get a job while I worked on passing my masters exam. This time I only told one person I was taking it and I didn't tell her until a few days before! I had to call my mom and tell her I was going over to one of my group homes until after lunch so don't be blowing my phone up, I would call her when I got out! When I finished the test and the result flashed up on the screen I just sat there. This is what I saw..... The times I have taken it before I have missed passing it by a point. A year or so ago they stopped giving number grades like 75, 42, etc... and started saying this test needed 105 right and you got 103. The last two times I have taken it I missed it by 3 questions and the time before that 2 questions. My test today needed to have 97 questions answered correctly and I answered 106 correctly!!!! I was SHOCKED. I wanted to stand up and scream but I knew I couldn't! I just sat there and looked at it! So many times before I had dreamed of seeing the PASS but it was always FAIL!!! I have to keep looking at it! I still cant believe it!!!! March is National Social Work Month. With today being the last day of March passing my test couldn't be a better day to pass it! Happy Social work month to me!!!!

HAPPY SOCIAL WORK MONTH TO ALL OF THE SOCIAL WORKERS OUT THERE!!!!

Where has the time gone?

the day we brought her home from the hosptial...

Tuesday, March 29, 2011

As we were eating dinner last night and I looked across the table I couldnt help but to be sad. I seriously cant believe that this is my little Raylee! I cant believe that she has gone from eating from a bottle while we rock her, to sitting in a high chair using a spoon for the first time, to sitting in a dining room chair using a real fork, drinking out of a cup without a lid and eating like a grown person! Notice I didnt say using a booster seat. Well, we have one of those and she refuses to use it. I guess she thinks she is just to big. Before we know it she will be headed to kindergarten. Oh how time flies......
