No, I'm full-time SAHM to the two littlest ones, Hedgehog (girl aged 3)
and Tapper (boy aged 15 months). Birdie Sue (girl aged 6) is in the
first grade this year, so is gone from 7-ish to 3.
Once I'm bringing in some money, the two little ones will probably go to
a learning center of some sort. We're in a really small town right now
so the options are sort-of limited, but I'd like to get Hedgehog into a
Montessori school. She's the kind of kid that program was *made* for.

640 hours. It'd take about four months to get it if I was able to study
40 hours a week. In reality, I'm looking at closer to seven or eight
months. Just studying 20 hours is hard to whittle out of the week.
Just before I started to reply to your post, UPS came by to drop off all
my medical dictionaries and pharmaceutical work guides. I've got a
HUGE-ASS stack of material here now. (Love you, Dorland's! You too,
Grey's! I'm totally free every night for the next seven months! Call
me!)
I think what's freaking me out is there's only one exam, but it has two
parts. So all the little tests and stuff I've been taking so far (and
getting 96+% on) really don't count; they just give me an idea of what I
need to bone up on.
Heh. She said "bone."
That final exam has be freaking out already, and I'm probably seven or
so months away from it.

That's so freaky to me, in a way. I've been on a.g since 2001 (or
thereabouts -- it was right after Birdie Sue was born). I'm so *old*.
