Live, Laugh, Pray, Love Mommy

Okay so I am slowly going back into the working world and I have no complaints. It is time for me to get back to work and it will be good for Desi to learn some independence. I am on a long-term temp assignment for a company I really like. The work I am doing is similar to what I was doing at my previous job, so that's a plus. I interviewed for the opportunity this past Friday and received notification the same day that they wanted me to start on this Monday. I was excited but sad at the same time because I knew that I would not be able to spend my days with Desi anymore. The whole weekend was emotional for me. You would have thought that I was going away and never coming back. When Sunday night rolled around I cried and shared my concerns with my husband. Of course, he reassured me that things would be fine. He brought out a good point. He said eventually somebody is gonna have to leave the other. He said when Desi becomes school age, we will have no choice but to separate. So he

Okay, so he said momma a few weeks ago...sue me! LOL! I have been meaning to blog this for a while but I am sure everyone out there in the motherhood knows that "down time" is minimal. Anyway, I just love hearing him say momma. He says it with so much love. Side note: I am definitely aware of the fact that one day I will be saying, "That is not my name right now." (That is what my mother used to tell me whenever I kept nagging her. It was pretty hilarious). Hearing your child say momma is like the second right of passage into mommydom, with the first being the birth of your baby. I feel so priviledged and honored to be this child's mommy. By the way, Desi is 9 months old now and he is starting to do some new silly and cute things. I'll look at Desi and say, "Munchie, give me kissy!" I will pucker my lips and make the kissy sound. He will click his tongue to mimic the sound! It is too cute. He has the biggest smile when he does it. I just love it.
