SPHR Exam = No Life

It's official - I'm taking the SPHR exam on Saturday, December 4th @ 12:30pm Pacific Time.  Hubby has Navy Reserve Duty that weekend, so I have a babysitter booked, as well as a back-up sitter.  I'm thinking about having a third one lined up, just in case, especially since it's several months away... last thing I need to do is stress about having someone dependable watch my child while I take an exam!. 

I'm registered for the review class and it starts in September.  When I prepared for the PHR exam I remember that I had no life for three months as all I did was study for the exam, go to class, go to work, and repeat... until I took the test.  Thanksgiving was a blur that year. 

That was then, when I didn't have a child, this is now.  I really hope that I'll be able to study well, that I'll be able to get a decent amount of sleep so my brain can fully recharge, and most importantly - that I pass the test!  I absolutely HATE taking tests... and this is a pretty important one considering it's a requirement for my job.  Of course it helps that there's a nice $ bonus in it for me when I pass. 

Soooo, my plan is to enjoy every moment of our vacation, because when we get back I'm going to need to get the whole family on a good schedule so that I'll be able to focus on preparing for my exam September through December.  Here's hoping all goes well!
