The day that I take the Ambulatory Care Specialty Board Certification test finally came and went today.  After hours of studying on Tuesdays since July and some additional Fridays in September, and after many many cups of coffee, I was ready to take this test.  I set my alarm at 5:45am, but my “Mommy Mommy” call from Connor came just before that, 5:40.  I jumped into the the shower while Stuart told Connor to return to sleep.  I prepared my coffee and breakfast, and off I went.  I arrived at the hotel in good timing, 7:15am.  I topped off my caffeine load there, and met up with Tina shortly later.  The test finally began at 9am after the registration and all the announcement.  One hundred questions and two hours 15mins later, I finished and met up with Tina for lunch.  It was a beautiful sunny day in San Francisco; we went to grab a lunch and took a nice walk too.  Then another two hours and 100 questions, it was finally over and I was so happy that I started smiling as I walked out of the exam room.  I have no idea how I actually did on the test and will have to wait two months to find out the result, but I am just so relieved and I rushed home to see the boys.

    Stuart had the boys all day.  After breakfast and playing some games at home, they headed to the library to play and to get some new books.  They brought home McD food for lunch, then Stuart put both of them to nap.  Connor was rebellious and Logan was whiny, and they made the job a bit harder for daddy.  After their nap and snack, they went to play at a park.  Stuart told me that Logan was the one who picked the itinerary for the day, and it turned out to be exactly what I had guessed.  After our reunion at home, we went for an early big dinner and frozen yogurt afterward to celebrate.  It has been a long day for all of us.
