Gone so long.

I've been M.I.A for the last few weeks and its been so long since i last posted a blog entry that i almost forgot my password.

Yes i know.. and i can hear people shamin on me from here. :)

Life has taken a turn somewhat for the new. Raishawn has started pulling himself up on to the furniture, which has resulted in my every move being dictated by what he is doing and what he is getting into. Though only 7 months, Raishawn has taken it upon himself to skip crawling and get straight on to the walking. Not as much fun for me as what it is for him.

Other than that i am pleased to report that it is mine and my lover's first year anniversary tomorrow. Which we are celebrating together, just the two of us. Our neighbours have so kindly offered to look after Raishawn for the night so we can go out for a nice dinner. One year down, many more left together. How time flies.

This would be the first time i have left Raishawn with anyone, and i am more than a little nervous about this. I have been going over in my head everything he needs, asking myself questions like, "Will he cry?" "What if he cries the whole time i'm gone?"

I spose i have to cut the cord sooner or later.

Which brings me to my next bit of news. I have been offered a part time office job at the complex we live in. I will be working as a leasing professional 30 hours of the week at the front building. It just so happens that the couple who moved in upstairs has a little boy who is 18 months old, And his mother, which of whom i have grown close with has offered to take care of Raishawn 2 of the 4 days i will be working, (the other 2 days my husband has off and will be looking after Raishawn.)

I am so happy she has decided to do this for us, as Raishawn has really taking a liking to her and enjoys playing with her son.

After craving an adult outlet for myself in the means of a small part time job, it seems i have found myself one.

And it couldn't be a better gift from god, the way it has all worked out. Not only will my son stay in the same area as what we live in, but i myself will be in the same area working. That means no driving, no waking up extra early to get him off to daycare and no expensive gas.

I do find myself feeling mournful and sentimental though, about these last few workless days with my son.

Its hard to think, how time has come and gone so quick, once he was only new into the world, now he seems to be growing up so quick.

So i say so long to the days of just me and him, everyday, at home, playing. Now it will only be like that 3 days out of the week. An adjustment for the both of us, but an adjustment long overdue.

I'm happy, fulfilled, blessed and appreciative of the blessing's my life has given to me.

Time to start a new chapter... Nervous, excited, hopeful.
