I forewarned her that after the tantrum-filled morning I just had with Lilly I am not exactly an unbiased consultant. My heart was saying, “aww – a week without Lilly kisses!” But my agita was screaming, “Get on that damn plane, chug a margarita and don’t look back!!”

Enter guilt.

Yes, if you’ve read any of my posts about motherhood or life, you know I am nearly always fraught with guilt over one thing or another. So I was relieved to the point of giddiness when I stumbled onto “31 Reasons You Shouldn’t Feel Mom Guilt” just moments after my guilt reflex kicked in. Numbers 12 and 29 had me laughing out loud. Enjoy!
