Bless Me Bloggers For I Have Sinned
Okay, so I'm not Catholic, but I do have a confession....I like working. There I said it. I like going to work and doing my job. I like seeing Abby after a good day with the sitter. I like feeding her supper and relaxing in the evening. And I've been thinking about this all evening and I've come to the conclusion that I'm not going to feel guilty about it. I'm tired of this feeling like I have to feel guilty about every decision I make whether to go back to work or not. Either way I chose, I'm expected to feel guilty. Well no more. It's my life, I'm going to life it. Abby is having a good time with the sitter and her kids and I'm settling into work even better than I thought. (It's great because now everything I didn't know how to do before, I'm getting retrained in). And besides, I have days off that I can spend the entire with Abby. Besides, Abby sleeps better after spending the day with the sitter.
And that goes for the decision to have more kids or not. If I decide to have more than I will, if not then I won't. (Barring any happy accidents.) And to anyone who make any unsolicited suggestions, I'll just tell them that it's my uterus, my decision.
Like the new me? Much more assertive right? Well, it's easy to tell the computer screen just exactly what I'm thinking. Much more difficult in person, but we'll see how it goes.

Motherhood has somehow unfortunately become some competitve race filled with guilt and decisions made for the wrong reasons.
Good for you for making a decision, liking your life and trying not to give two hoots what anyone thinks about it!
You crack me up, girl! And you TELL that computer screen off! I'll teach you how to do it to someone's face! Lol.
