Cue the Guilt

February 17, 2010 10:46 AM

I am (obviously) a working mom, and that has been working out pretty well, because my 4 kids are in school all day so I might as well be at work because there is nothing much for me to do at home. Except for the fact that sometimes my kids don't have school. Like this week, when they are on winter break. And I still have to go to work.
This morning before my babysitter came, I tried to squeeze in some quality time with the kids. Played Spin Art with Jamie which was awesome because I got to have neon paint splattered in my hair before work. (But you should see the paintings I made.)
Now I am at the office and my babysitter is with my kids.
And all I can think about is that I want to take my kids to the museum.
And I don't even like the museum.
I once read an interview with one my idols, Madonna, in which she said something along the lines of, "When I am with my kids, I want to go to work, and when I am at work, I just want to be with my kids." That basically sums up my life this week. The fact that Madonna feels that way too is oddly reassuring to me.
