Look Mom! I'm a big kid now!

It's been a few weeks since the semester has started and I have decided I need to find one of those people who wakes up before you leave to work to make you breakfast and lunch. And then when you leave they do your laundry, run your errands, and have dinner on the table by the time you get home. What are they called again?.....oh yeah! A wife! oh boy....I don't know if that is going to work out for me.

I started my internship at Family and Children's Services of Central Maryland as a therapist last week. And I started meeting with clients without shadowing this week! (I was totally on my own! I should say client. I've only seen one. There will be three more next week.) It seems like it's been much longer since our first session, but maybe that is because of all the studying I have had to do on my client's specific issue. Tonight as I came home I caught a glimpse at myself in the mirror.

I was bringing home all my notes from work to read over so I can create a treatment plan over the weekend. Yep. All those papers, notebooks, and books are for one client. Well the word of the Lord is for me, but how can you really get far and help much with out it, right?

When I saw my reflection I thought...Actually, first I thought, "You're a hot mess." But then I thought, "Wow! You're actually doing it! You're the real thing!" Well kind of. I feel like I have at least moved up to pull ups. One step away from being all on my own. It's all a matter of time before I will be wearing big girl panties! Who would have thought huh?
