Mommy guilt reaches a new level.

I am awake at a stupid hour because of this and it's dumb and I think it's funny.  I was having a dream about my kids.  In my dream I was helping one of them do something,  I can''t even remember what it was.  I woke up startled because I thought one  of them was crying IRL.  I ran down the hall checked both sound asleep children and went back to bed.  I was lying there on my bed, not fully awake but unable to go back to sleep because I felt guilty for waking up before I had finished helping whichever child I was helping do whatever they were doing for no reason. I snapped out of that line of thought when DH snorted in his sleep and I fully woke up.

I need to stop taking pain killers for my arm.  They are doing weird things to my brain.

LOL!  This is so funny, and we all can totally empathize.  Geesh, I never thought that 'Mommy Guilt' would be such a real thing, strong enough to keep you from going back to sleep.  We should all share a 'mommy guilt' moment :-)

One that just popped into my mind was the fact that I couldn't fully enjoy our road trip since I kept on having guilt that C was stuck in his chair for so long, probably hurting his spine from sitting.  Lame, but true.
