I loved @FutureMrsMcK 's mom-guilt thread a few weeks ago and I was remembering everyone's admissions and trying to forgive myself for today!

I worked 12 hours overnight last night. When I do a night shift, DH takes M to her babysitter's the next day before I get home. I always feel guilty because most of the moms that I work with go home and watch their kids for the whole day afterwards. I don't know how they do it - by the time DH gets home it would have been a full 38 hours since I had slept. Just not possible for me.

Usually I go home and sleep for a few hours and then run around and do chores, grocery shopping, laundry, etc. This makes me feel better about paying someone to watch M while I'm at home. Today, I slept most of the day and then sat on the couch and watched the entire Bachelorette finale. I didn't make dinner, go grocery shopping, pick up toys or do laundry. We went away last weekend and the bags are still packed. The house actually looks worse than it did when DH left for work this morning.

I'm hereby absolving myself of my guilt. Phew - that feels better! Anyone else need this today?
