Stay at Home Mamma Jamma!

Here I go on the greatest adventure of my life. I've been ever so lucky to have the opportunity of being a stay at home mother. I have NO idea what I'm in for, but I do know that it is such a blessing that our family has been able to make this life changing shift. So far I've been a mother for five weeks and I can say that they have been some hard times BUT the oh so great times have serioulsy outweighed the difficul times bar none! I love, love, love being a mother so this blog is only to mourn "the career woman in me",because I feel like I owe the old me a fair fairwell. So with out further ado........ First things first,what I will miss the most from my life as a career woman will be my co-workers. They are by far the most amazing group of young ladies I've ever had the pleasure of working with, so funny and smart and beautiful! It felt like we could take over the world if we really wanted to. Several of them have become some of my very favorite friends. I was able to cry, laugh, and share some really juicy secrets with them through out my three and a half years there. I'm going to miss them like nobodies bee's wax.. Second, I am going to miss getting ready for work. Waking up every morning with endless possibilities for the perfect outfit, make that the perfect "look". As getting ready for me was so much more than just the clothes. It was the shoes, the accesories, the make up, the hair; and not to forget the scent. I know I don't have to live in PJ's, which I would never want to do anyway,but I don't exactly feel like getting up and putting on my fishnets and stiletos to go change a diaper. I will have to make lots of play dates and different dates to remain true to the fashionista with in my soul. I will also miss the thrill of buying a 9K time slot on television, I will miss the rush of doing something great at work that just sent me into bliss because I accomplished something I had been working towards. I am going to miss being able to talk to adults on a day to day basis about smart topics. I am defenitely going to miss being able to just run out of the house on an errand with out it seeming like I'm orchestrating a huge Barnum and Bailey circus event. And I am defenitly missing being able to eat when ever I want. Who knew that even going to the bathroom would become something I now had to make time for? And something that I'm going to miss that is actually kind of scary, is being responsible only for myself. The fact now, is that I will forever have the responsability to care for an other person's life. That I have the huge responsability to shape this kids life in a way that she becomes a beautiful person that loves life. I'm greatful for the opportunity but I also know it's a big job. Inspite of all these things Iwill miss, I am defenitely ready to make room for the next chapter of my life. Now my accomplishments include getting a smile from my daughter, being able to soothe her crying and being a super cool, super fly mommy. There is a time for everything and now it is my time to be a mother. Thank God for such a wonderful life!! Stay blessed and love like it's your last day on earth!
