Life of a working mom just = GUILT. I hate it. I have guilt leaving them. I have guilt I can't keep up with the laundry and dishes. I have guilt having Luke be the one to drop off and pick up the kids and watch them until I get home. I have guilt that when I finally do get off work I am too tired to cook dinner and poof it's already time for bed!
On the other hand, I am grateful for my job. It isn't a bad job and it is a blessing to our family, even when at times it feels the opposite. Finley says "But, I love you." when I tell him I have to work.."See, I just miss you." and it breaks me. No more fun adventure trips and painting and McDonalds, parks, fort building, monster truck playing mom...just one exhausted, emotional mom for now. I know I will get use to it. I know Finley loves going to Miss Martha's house (the babysitter) and she LOVES Vera...I was just too spoiled these last 8 months of being a stay at home mom!

Sorry, Shawnie!
I don't have the guilt issue, as I get to keep my baby and kids with me, and when they are not they are with their Nana...
But, I can totally relate to not being able to keep up with the house and cooking, etc. I feel like whenever I am home I am cleaning/organizing/cooking, with no time to relax and enjoy being home!
Hopefully it will get easier as you all adjust to this new change! Hang in there!
I just now read this and you broke my heart. I think I should quit my job and move to Nashville.
