This week has been extra rough for me. I have been having “extreme” mom guilt. I feel guilty that BMW can’t count to 100 yet (not really), I feel guilty that I don’t “entertain” her throughout the day, I feel guilty that I am not a “good enough” homemaker—aka cleaner, cooker, baker, launder—I feel guilty that I am not a good enough wife and friend, I just feel guilty this week. Today I had a break down. Moming is hard work, don’t let anyone tell you that it’s not. I want to be the best mom, wife, friend, and daughter that I can be, but I honestly don’t even feel good enough for myself. I am ashamed of the way I look. I am ashamed of the lack of “romance” in Andrew and I’s relationship. I just feel down, guilty, ashamed, and blah. I hope that these next few days get better, but if not, I know that nothing lasts forever, and this mood will change. To all those moms out there feeling like this, know you are not alone!
