It never fails that somehow my children can make me feel guilty with just a few words or a look. Though what mother that works a full-time job doesn't feel guilty about not being with their kids?
My children have always been & always will be the most important things in my life. They drive me crazy & make me wonder if they are killing each other but they truly are the loves of my life.
I've had a hard time this week because I am going on a retreat where I won't have my cellphone. This will be the first time ever that my girls won't be able to readily reach me. It's also the first time their step-dad will have them to himself for an entire weekend. I know that Mike is wonderful with my kids but I still feel apprehensive leaving them. I also know that I need this time for me. I need this time to center myself & reconnect with God.
I pray that while I'm gone my children won't kill each other & that maybe this will help them strengthen the bond they have with Mike & each other. Hopefully I won't spend the whole weekend weighed down with guilt either.
Prayers and blessings to you.
