wouldn’t ya say little boys need a full time wrangler<\/span>? most little boys i know at least! well i am pleased to say that as of valentine’s day, i will cease + desist my 9-5 (for good!) and have the pleasure of taking up a career in being a maja, or mother as they call it, and i’m kind of freakin’ out in the best of ways.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
it’s bittersweet to leave my job. but let’s be real though\u2014hardest thing to leave is always the people (thankfully i can still figure out ways to see them!). but it’s all getting sweeter by the day because i cannot wait to be a full-time mom.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
i never really pictured myself taking off a year or more of work to raise babes. my mom was a working woman my whole life (let’s say it more how it was\u2014a high powered business woman, yeah mom!) but still made things work so that i never had a nanny, etc.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
i watched her work hard<\/span> and gained so much from seeing her in that arena, from how she problem solved to her tenacity to her perseverance. i still watch that and absolutely admire it. and for every ounce of hard work she’d give, she always knew how to unwind in the best of ways (still does! as i write this, she’s at a spa with friends in the rocky mountains!).<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
so i pictured that same thing for myself, as we sometimes do, which is not bad or good but more just was.<\/i>\u00a0and i know\u00a0we’re just getting out the gate here, but i am excited to see what sort of turn this all takes. who really knows! i may be like a few friends of mine who lasted six months and then needed something part time. i could also end up loving it and never want to work a 9-5 again (hmm!).<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
but regardless of what’s down the road, as of this moment<\/span>, i couldn’t be more excited. things are about to be turned upside down. i’m already thinking of all the different outings we’ll need to plan into our week so i don’t flip my house upside down (we’re in cozy quarters at the moment), but i can’t wait! i’m excited to be right alongside and watch our son discover life.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
am i less excited about being the only one to handle the blowouts<\/span> during the daytime hours? that’s more of a meh, but you know, bring it on!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
to my dear job, i wouldn’t say i loved you ever, but i’m sure thankful for the people i got to know because of it all. but i’m welcoming this mommy thang with open arms and hoping i come out not smelling too much like poo.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
but you’ll still like me, right? even if i do, right.. you know..<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
smell like poo.<\/div>\n
