Every Mile is a Miracle


Side note: yesterday’s Margarita was the worst Margarita I have ever had probably.

I didn’t think this would happen but I’m having guilt for leaving my family for a week to run a race. Ugh. They seem fine but I feel terrible.

Anyway. I’m on my way! Boarding my plane in a few minutes!

Drink more margaritas and the guilt will fade. :D

On a more serious note, I get the guilt feeling, but honestly, I'm a firm believer in people taking time for themselves within a family dynamic. We all NEED to be selfish sometimes. It's wrong-headed in my view to think that being in a family/being a parent is always about self-sacrifice first. We all self-sacrifice A LOT for our families and taking time for ourselves is important. I believe it makes us BETTER spouses, parents, etc.

So, don't be sad or guilty about it. Enjoy it and use it as a means to recharge and come back a happier and refreshed wife/mother.

See you soon!!
 
I totally get the mom guilt. It's hard to balance family, hobbies, and everything else going on, but like Zelly said, it's good to take time for you. There are so many people I know who never take time for themselves and don't know who they are outside of being a mom - they don't know what to do with themselves when their children leave the nest. Enjoy your time!! I can't wait for the recap!
