Today I have no Mommy Guilt about the usual stuff. No yelling at the kids, no tantrums, none of the usual things I do that make me wonder why the Universe entrusted me with my children.
This is good, right?
But NO -- I cannot escape the guilt. I spent the day at school volunteering. This evening is Garrett's school production.
So the dog will have spent the better part of 12 hours in her kennel today.
Guilt. Argh.
Mom, wife, daughter, sister, friend. Scrapbooker, family historian, reader, cook, photographer. Volunteer. Political junkie. Springsteen fan. Loves deeply, strives daily to be a cheerful, kind and generous person. Fails regularly. Snarky, judgy and more than a little blunt. Some people don't appreciate my style. If you're one of them, that's ok. Get your own blog.
Lordy, lordy, a mother just can't win. I feel for you.
ReplyDeleteIs there any chance that Pippa is ready to be out of her kennel when you're not home?
ReplyDeleteMom used to leave Tess while she was at work, she was never kenneled. Tess's only destruction was that she used to get kleenexes out of the trash and shred them to bits...pretty harmless.
I just wonder if there'd be less guilt if she was free to roam?
