Guilty as charged...

Although I haven't had enough time to blog or eat right or exercise or catch up on sleep I have still managed to find time to feel guilty.

I've been working a lot of extra hours lately and was hoping that by this week things would start to slow down but after working until 10:00 last night I have had to rethink that pipe dream.

I feel guilty when I'm not at home.
I feel guilty when I'm not at work.
I feel guilty that my family is living off of frozen pizzas and mac and cheese.
I feel guilty for having given up completely on my garden when all of my neighbors are still harvesting their bounty and the only thing I can harvest is weeds.
I feel guilty that here it is, almost the end of August, and I am no where near my weight-loss goals for this time of year.
I feel guilty that I haven't exercised in weeks and have been caught several times getting off the elevator instead of taking the stairs (we make fun of people who take the elevator around here).
I feel guilty for not blogging regularly. I just can't get inspired when I'm this busy.

Oh well.

At least there is one thing I will never feel guilty about.

My drink at Starbucks can be ordered as non-fat and sugar free and that makes me smile...

As long as they don't tell me how much I just paid for that smile.

  1. I have no words of wisdom. I feel so guilty for so many of these things as well...

  2. Thanks Diedre. Sometimes just knowing that I'm not alone in my struggle is enough. :)

  4. Yes, it's a constant being a working mother. I remember when my youngest was around 4 and said "Is work more important than me?" Talk about feeling guilty! I called in sick the next time he got sick. It was always about getting them ready for daycare before work and at that time I was a single mother - no choice but to work. (And then of course you feel guilty calling in sick.) We just try to balance the best we can.

  6. Thanks for the support during my SITS day on this one. Guilt is something I struggle with a lot and I appreciate all of your feedback and encouragement.
