Finding a balance

As Mothers I think it is very easy to get lost in your children... I think for stay at home moms this happens alot. I will always say and stand by that being a stay at home mom is THE HARDEST JOB on the planet. As a mom who has done both, it is for me. When I am home I am all in for my kids I work in the class, never miss a thing. I always knew all the kids in their class's. this gave me comfort and knowledge, when they told me what was going on in school I knew who they where speaking of.
   As my kids have gotten older I felt the freedom to go back to work part time. My oldest is in middle school so there are no moms in the daily classroom, my middle child is in 5th grade so little volunteering needed. My daughter and youngest is a 2nd grader and due to a learning disability she is in a small group 1 on 1 learning part of the day.
This leaves you a little lost when your day for so long has revolved around kids and their needs. I am VP of PTA so that helps me feel involved or crazy...(i think)
I have been blessed to not only find a job thats part time but in the cosmetics field and they schedule around me. Otherwise dont think I could have both

Mom guilt is a killer... do we ever get past it????
