This is my first official week on hiatus from "10 Grand In Your Hand". I won't be returning until the fall, and in a way that makes me sad.

I never thought I would enjoy working once I had Sunny. Leaving her was a very difficultt decision, one that was full of tears and worry. But once I got about 2 days into my new gig I remembered that I do in fact have a career that I have worked very hard at, a career that I love and one that makes me feel like a more well rounded woman. So I went to work and I enjoyed myself. A fact that I didn't want to admit until my friend Mother Dear ( an experienced working single mother) said to me "It's ok, you finally get to eat with two hands and finish a meal right?" Right….and I loved that part.

Every few days I would walk past a toy store that sold adorable stuffed animals. I never bought one thinking to myself I'll get this for Sunny as a treat for rolling with my punches. And sure enough on my last day at the office I purchased a little stuffed mouse named "Bungli".

I'll be the first to admit that Sunny doesn't need a new stuffed mouse, but it made me feel good that I could buy it for her with the money I earned while I was away from her.

And you know what, she loves him 🙂
