Day 9 of my 29 Day Giving Challenge

Today is Day 9 of my 29 Day Giving Challenge. There was no physical gift today it was more of a big step to change my life and secure the future for my son and I. I started a full-time job today. This is really hard when you're an attached mama. I did really well emotionally until about lunch time and proceeded to cry through my lunch break. It has nothing to do with the job or not wanting to work. It's an enjoyable job and everyone I've met so far is really nice. It's more about knowing that it is the beginning of a forever number of days of working and being away from Nate. I won't be there to do all of the little weekday things that we've always done. At the end of the day we had 2.5 hours together before he went to bed and it was filled with dinner, bath, changing into pjs, cuddling and then getting him to go to sleep. I do have to say though that my day was made when I walked in the door and he said, "mommy, mommy, mommy" and gave me a big hug with his arms wrapped tight around my neck.
