It is amazing just how much of a difference those "little" things can make! I am glad that you were able to talk with your husband and good on ya for the handling of this morning's situation! Mom guilt is a hard one, but we have to remember that part of being able to be the good mom we want to be is making sure that we take care of ourselves so that when we *are* with the kids we are bringing the best "me" to the table.But I'm already feeling better. Had a long talk with DH yesterday and he was very supportive. I handled a situation gently this morning, instead of passive aggressively, and was amazed with how well the other party responded. Then I got to shower and shave my legs, sit down for breakfast at the table, and put on makeup. Little things that help me feel normal.
