I'm feeling like a bad parent. I haven't had anytime to myself. Not to take a long hot shower and relax. Not to luxuriate with some Hemp Oil on my body to soften my ever drying skin. Not to lift weights. Not to think. Barely to read. When I feel myself lacking in my interests, I notice that I don't rush to play with the kiddies or show as much enthusiasm. It makes me feel incredibly guilty. I love to watch my kids wonder with the world. I love to show them new things or expound on the old. I love them so much. But I've been craving some alone time with such desparation. I feel I'm being unfair.
We've been doing everything together lately. Parties, playtime, sleeptime, everything. I need Mommy Time badly.
And that makes me feel like I'm neglecting my family.
Why are we programmed this way?
Or is it just me?

Nah, I know better. It's women's make-up to feel this way.
*gently smaks self* Get over it A-!
