It is offical---I am a....

SAHM!!!
A what? What does that stand for? Stay At Home Mom.

Weird to say it, but it feels good to take on this role.
Yesterday was my last day at work. It was a sad day. Another co-worker was leaving too. She got a new job in a town about 4 hours a way and would be moving, so I knew that I would never see her again. She was such a huge help when we first brought Spencer home. I was so tired all the time and just a nervous wreck...working full-time with a newborn is no fun. I realize that I didn't have to go through 9 months of pregnancy or 24 hours of birth but everyone does have to go through the lack of sleep that happens when you bring that little bundle of joy home with you. This co-worker let me cry to her and tell her how I was feeling. She gave me some very good advice too.

So anyway.... This was our last day. There was a potluck planned and a few gifts given out and of course tears. I didn't cry until my co-worker who was also leaving started crying. She told everyone after the gifts were opened just how much she loved everyone and would miss everyone. Her speech was perfect. Then everyone turned to me....I really didn't want to say anything because I knew I was going to start crying, (well I was already crying)....but I tried to talk....and I don't remember what I said other than I think I send Spencer's name about 10 times. I must have sounded so dumb.

The pot-luck was yummy. And as I said my good byes, turned in my key and drove out of the parking lot to head home I was stuck by the thought that this part of my life was over and a new part was really beginning! An exciting one, filled with many new things and challenges and blessings. And through my tears I smiled.

Got home and told Bryan that I needed to go out for a celebration to cheer me up. We went to a local restaurant and Spencer was a bit of a handful. He would not eat the food I brought or the food I shared from my plate. He kept throwing things on the ground. Then Bryan gave him a slice of lemon.....thinking it would make him pucker up. Spencer has never tired Lemon before and Bryan thought it would be funny. The funny part was the reaction from Bryan when Spencer grabbed the lemon and sucked and sucked and sucked....SPENCER Loved it!!!! Bryan said that he wanted to see Spencer get that sour face...I said that he was evil, but that Spencer was more evil and that is why it didn't work. We laughed!

Today was my first official day as Full time mommy. Bryan had to work from 7am to 7pm. I got a call around 9:30am from a older lady asking to speak to Bryan. I told her he was a work. She told me that he had won a prize from the Rock and Mineral Show that he and a friend went to last Saturday. She wanted to drop off the prize. I told her were we lived and she soon arrived. It was the most beautiful rock I have ever saw. See below.


Bryan was very surprised when he got home tonight and saw it sitting on the dinning room table. He was shocked!
