I used to work 40+ hours a week and be in charge of many things. Then there was baby and I went to working 8 hours a week manning a gift shop for my friends. As of yesterday I'm no longer doing that. I don't know what got into me...but it was like pulling teeth to get my butt in gear, say goodbye to my baby and be gone for a whole 4 hours a day...twice a week. This meant getting out of my pajamas, put my big girl pants and rejoining the world as you know it. I'd rather change poopy diapers, talk to Kathie Lee and Hoda through my TV screen and stare at my planner all day.
Andy, being the bread winner and the one having the final say to whether I could stay at home or not finally said Yes. But, after saying yes, he made things very clear..."If you stay home, this whole house is yours" - translation...'You must tap into your inner June Cleaver'
So last night I put lipstick on before I made dinner.
I didn't have the apron or the high heals or the fresh water pearl necklace but I'm working on it.
This transformation is going to be a process.
