While reading this, I was nodding my head quite vigorously. Guilt. Eck. At night, after I've put in hours of work, I still can't stay on the computer and read blogs for very long. As you've said, I feel guilt for the house being messy. It's just weird and wrong. <br /><br />By the way, you are a writer. I hope you contintue to come back because I really enjoy reading your words here. : )amber_mtmchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17871256362646081536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8444437923670600124.post-15222362121069777992010-10-11T12:18:23.403-04:002010-10-11T12:18:23.403-04:00Girl!

I'm so done with Baseball too. I mean, I love it, but we still have 5 more weeks of it. It has infiltrated my home, as we watch in on TV, my husband is a coach, I'm team mom, and my son not only plays, but goes to private coaching lessons too. We also go to a few MLB games every year (which is super fun!), but I feel like from March through November we literally eat, sleep, breath, and dream baseball.... Are we done YET?!??!<br /><br />Have fun on your romantic getaway! What I wouldn't give!!!Jenn @ My Not So Glamorous Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00886713948949981780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8444437923670600124.post-81256559082910857102010-10-08T21:56:44.222-04:002010-10-08T21:56:44.222-04:00Guilt seems like the fifth member of my family.

Yay for bodily fluids and guilt! I guess they are both things that we have to live with as moms, eh?!<br /><br />@Christine: Seriously, just the feeling of anxiety that I had about whether to go to class and not work on deadlines, or go to work and skip class had me in a tizzy this morning. I literally got to work and stayed in my car for 7 minutes, not wanting to make a decision! Sad, I know. I chose work and I'm glad I did. My boss needed to meet with me AND my co-worker had a pumpkin spice latte waiting for me!<br /><br />As for skipping ball... I don't think I can. I've never missed a game and don't want to spoil my record at this point! Hubby and I talked about taking turns this weekend, but I doubt it will happen. Oh well. It will all be over soon and Hubby and I have a romantic one-night getaway planned next weekend! It will be a really nice break! :-)ShannonLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02425667751148261642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8444437923670600124.post-19739906117350122452010-10-08T08:47:49.685-04:002010-10-08T08:47:49.685-04:00Oh Shannon, my friend.

But you aren't alone, and I'm here, I'm your friend. And none of us expect you to feel pressured to read our stuff, or to write. Write when you can. And take care of you. Try, try try to release all that guilt. Can you skips a weekend of baseball? I means seriously, send them off, and stay home. You deserve it, and it's important to keep you healthy. Or else where would they be?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8444437923670600124.post-81818342735779509832010-10-08T00:25:42.322-04:002010-10-08T00:25:42.322-04:00The guilt is just never-ending.

Guilt is at every corner. For not doing the laundry. For doing it while the kids might need you. For every silly choice. If I find some magic, I'll tell you. Until then, do what you need to and what makes you feel best. Big hugs.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15039712389445193435noreply@blogger.com
