I travel in a lot of "moms" circles; groups, clubs, yahoo groups, blogs and the common theme lately seems to be guilt. Moms are guilty over taking any time or spending any money on themselves. This includes any time spent to continue their education or work on their careers. Some of these moms claim to "live for their children" and so take on guilt for taking an hour to themselves. STOP IT!! You deserve a break today!!!
