"Mommy Guilt"



No matter what, every day I seem to have Mommy Guilt come over me. As I look back on Little Mama's first year, I am blown away with how quickly it has flown and how much she has grown. I just want to freeze time so that I can spend as much time with her as I can. But life still goes on and there is still a pile of laundry that needs to be put away, dishes in the sink and work that I still have to go to. When I am not working I do try to spend as much time with her as I can. Playing with her, snuggling with her and talking with her. But it still doesn't seem enough. This mommy hood is very difficult trying to balance everything that you need to. Even as I do the laundry and do the dishes, I will take every moment I can to stop when her little hands reach up to me and she says, "Mama? Mama?" Then the world will stop and I will put all of my attention on her. Because the laundry can wait a little and the dishes won't go anywhere, but one day she will be moving out and will be starting her own life and I want to look back and feel that we made sure that we cherished each and every moment possible with our Little Mama.
