Mommy Guilt

Things have been pretty hectic at the Meyer house these days. I have been working a lot and B has been picking up my slack with the house and the girls. I think the girls really enjoy their teachers and friends at daycare but when I have to go into the office on the weekends I feel overwhelming guilt for the time I have to be away from them.

I worked late Friday night and was supposed to make dinner for the Clingmans to come over. Unfortunately by the time I got home B had already served pizza - it was fun to hang out and hear about their trip even though I was late.

Saturday I took Annabelle to her music class and we all had lunch with Grandma and Grandpa Meyer. B took the girls home and off to work I went. I didn't get home until right before they went to bed.

Today was a similar story - I headed into the office and had to get the heck out of there just in time for B to leave to take Nathan to the movies. I really enjoyed having some one on one time with my girls but I'd really just like to find a nice balance between work, husband, and kids. I know I'm not the first (or the last) to struggle with all the demands, but I have opened a bottle of wine and embarked on my first glass. My hope is that the answer to the struggle is at the bottom of the bottle. Wink, Wink!

Saturday morning I gave the girls a bath - they love playing in the tub together & boy, it saves me a lot of time!

Finally some play time with the girls.
