Can’t Escape the Guilt

I skipped band tonight. I didn’t actually really want to go all that badly in the first place, but I was going to – honest! But Carrie was incredibly cranky, over-tired from getting up early and missing her nap, teething…the works, and it seemed only Mommy could make it better.

I would have felt guilty going because I was leaving my unhappy toddler, and I feel guilty for not going. There’s no escaping feeling guilty, is there?
