You know what sucks?  Well, i’ll tell you… mommy guilt is what sucks.

Mommy guilt is that nagging feeling you get when you are doing something for yourself instead of your kids.  It is the feeling that you ought to be doing something for your kids (even if everything you do is for your kids).

One thing that hasn’t changed much for me (whether I am working or not working) is mommy guilt.

Lately, I feel as though I am clawing my way through life.  As though I am clawing my way to get to a place where I can have a few minutes to myself and not feel guilty or have my husband give me the stink eye.

I was doing rather well on Weight Watchers and then same ol’ same ol’ happened and I have taken a slide backwards.  I am so far from being on the program right now that I wouldn’t know what it looked like if it jumped up and bit me.

I want to go on bike rides (by myself) at least once a day.  But… I feel like it’s not a possibility because I have kids and when my husband comes home he doesn’t really want to deal with them by himself.

I wish I could somehow break this cycle.  For the moment I am hand-to-mouth again.
