Y...Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts Liz. You are a successful wife, mother and career woman with many responsibilities and from what I can see you are doing a great job in all your roles. I have worked through a lot of my own guilt (I am Irish too, lol) but I just think, if I am choosing to spend my time on something, why rob myself of truly enjoying what I am doing, by worrying about something else I could be doing. We can only do so much and your doing a lot! Thanks again for reading and sharing, it means a lot to me to hear your opinion on the matter.

I find that I have started to have to really prioritize the things in my life. As a vice principal, I've been lucky to have worked with women as principals who truly understand that family comes first, but I have a hard time feeling guilty if I'm ignoring a work obligation. But guilty too, if I'm missing a swimming lesson or family event. I need to work on that. I keep thinking that when they're a bit older, I'll have more time for myself, but it doesn't change that I need to be here for them now. I'm of Irish Catholic descent, so guilt and worry are imbedded in my genes. I keep hoping I'll grow out of it, but at 36 it hasn't happened yet�� I'm a work in progress and that's okay��<br />lizzy_thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12329282277837430346noreply@blogger.com
