Of course, I work for myself at home so I tend to take advantage sometimes. :-) We need to bring back the siesta in the middle of the day.

Without hesitation she said: Whatever it takes to make you a better parent should not make you feel guilty. I now apply that concept to my 'away from home' job. There are times I need to stop and regroup to become a better employee. I think all of us could use this concept in our lives.

For the longest time I also felt like I was not doing enough. If I was playing with my kids I would be thinking about all the laundry and dishes that needed to be done. I felt like just sitting and enjoying myself was a waste of time. I think part of it came from other people saying that my house was neat and clean because I was home all day to do it. I finally realized one day that being with my kids and enjoying myself was just as important as all the other things I had to do. I have now learned to schedule things in and be very flexible about what has to get done and be much easier on myself when things don't get done. I want to enjoy life and my kids not rush through it.
