And so it begins

I'm really good at starting things. I love change. I love the newness of starting projects and organzing. I have problems getting past the grind. But I am really proud of my most recent accomplishment. Well, actually within the last year I have had two major accomplishments. Last December 2008 I graduated with my Bachelor's Degree in social work an this December 2009 I graduated with my Master's Degree in social work.

I have met many people ... you mention social work and they roll their eyes. They see social workers as stodgy middle to older aged women who take children away. Did you know that it is illegal to call yourself a social worker if you do not hold a license in social work? I will not represent myself as such (yet) as I am waiting to take my licensure examination.

When graduated, I was warned that depression might follow because graduates begin wondering "what next?" and a letdown might follow. I'm not there. I am loving that I finally completed something! I really need to buckle down and get ready for the exam. That will be the next big thing.

I'm a wife, a mother, a daughter, a juggler, a magician, a multi-tasking whore. I was recently diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome, basically they don't know where it comes from or why people get it, but they needed a good name for it. This diagnosis really made me see how much I need to sit down and be a better wife, mother, daughter, juggler, magician, and an even better multi-tasking whore. So I suppose this is something of a resolution blog for 2010. I need to take my B-12 shots in the ass and get to work on finishing some things.

There willbe more about this later. For now I need to take my fever reducer, drink my mandatory glass of water, and get to work on my plan.
