I was sitting at work today in midst of piles of paperwork, phone calls, and letters needing to be mailed out, but all I could think about was being with my family. Today was an emotional day for me because my husband was having a vesectomy. I had already lined up a sitter for Parker and transportation for Kyle, but I couldn't help but think that I should be the one with Parker and driving Kyle to and from his surgery. Not only did I feel guilty for not being there for him, I felt saddened that we were making such a permenant decision. I knew this decision was right for us, atleast for right now; but that did not make it any easier to accept.
This was the reason for starting my blog. Today just seemed perfect for a new journey to begin. When one door closes, another opens. Honestly, I have pondered writing a blog for some time now but never thought I had enough interesting topics to write about. Now that I have been struggling daily with the guilt of working full time and never seeming to have enough time in the day, I have more than enough to write about. I love that blogging allows you to write and think freely. I have heard from several people that it can also be therapeutic. My hope is that this blog can help me learn to cope with the guilt of being away from my family 9 hours a day and in doing so help others coping with that same guilt.
