guilt.
feeling alot of this lately.
working alot. a whole lot. a whole whole lot.
grabbing hours while they are available.
saving money, or trying to.
justifying in my mind,
because i want some time off in the summer.
time for day trips and vacations with the kids,
with my family.
however...
we come back to it...
the dreaded word....
guilt.
so what have i been doing???
something i swore i would never do.
let the kids stay up late.
we always stuck with the bedtime in our house.
tonight miranda went to bed at 930.
jack .. 10:10.
thats the bedtime in our house?
nope.
nowhere close.
but ,
i get to spend some time with the kids.
QUALITY time.
theres a difference..
between spening time with my kids,
doing things with my kids..
and the quality of love and care.
quality is important.
so make time,
for quality.
good enough.
(not perfect.
no matter how hard i try,
i realize now that i can never, wont ever be the perfect mom.
who is?)
good enough.
i'll settle for that.
