I DID IT! I made it through September working full time. I didn't endure it with ease, grace or poise, but I did it. Jed told me I could do anything for one month, and I guess he was right. It was not easy, I was grumpy (image that, happy little me, grumpy HA!), and I felt guilty every day I left my sweet little Sawyer-Bean. But it is over, done, finished, completed, accomplished, achieved, concluded, fulfilled, executed, finalized! (did I leave any synonyms out?)
Thank you so much to Grandpa Garn and Grandma Peggy! The baby had fun hanging out with you. Thanks to my Grandma for taking a day. Thanks to Ann who helped in a bind. And thanks to my mommy (whose babysitting days are not over yet). At least when I was deserting my adorable little boy I knew he was in excellent hands and that helped ease my conscious a bit. Plus, I couldn't have done it without each of you.
I should also mention that my husband has been incredible. He really has stepped up to the plate (look at me use sports terms) as he has taken care of Sawyer-Bean. He looks good in an apron, he looks good with a spatula, he looks good pushing the vacuum around and I think he looks HOT with spit-up on his BYU shirt. He has been marvelous the past 4 weeks (well, he's always been great) and I hope he knows I appreciate and love him.
Tomorrow marks a new era in my life... Part Time! I am super excited! It has been a long time since I've not been a full-time employee or an employee/student and I look forward to it. Imagine, working part-time and being a mommy the rest of the time, its going to feel so good after the month I've just experienced.
I have developed a new appreciation/sympathy for mothers who work full time. I don't know how you do it? You are a stronger woman than I am that is for sure, but, I feel that being home with Sawyer is what is important to him, me and Jed right now.
So, I will be enjoying a little more of this each day... and that puts a smile on my face.
