When I first became a mom I felt guilty for any time I took for myself.
Maybe even just wanting to take time for myself. It felt like I was being a bad Mom if I did.
Since Emma has been born, and even less time for me has been available I've come to realize that taking time for me doesn't make me a bad Mom...
It's what makes me a better one.
When I take a little time for me I'm able to:
Regroup :)
Relax :)
In some cases calm down :)
And most of the time take a much needed nap! :)
Some times I wonder what would happen if I didn't get the occasional break.
Aaron would most likely come home from work, the house would be in shambles and unrecognizable. There would be food all over the floor and piles of dishes on top of the normal pile of dishes. And I'd probably look 20 years older, crying on the floor in the middle of a laundry heep.
So I will no longer feel guilty for taking a little time for me. I hope. Has any one else ever felt like this? Or am I a lone reed? LOL (I just watched "You've got mail")

been there, done that, did not like the t-shirt so opted out of buying one, but have had plenty of times in the laundry room/closet crying.
And-- it's all okay!
you are an amazing mother
