The older three kids have been gone since Wednesday and I have spoken to them on the phone twice. They have called a few times but I haven't been here or I had turned the ringer off to get some much needed sleep. I have been emailing them twice a day to let them know how myself, Deacon and the pets are and asking about them too.

My friends have told me to stop feeling guilty about this. That I deserve to sleep and do what I am not able to while they are around. After all, I have them the remaining 359 days a year. They have also seen how exhausted I have been. I have been congratulated on managing to get more sleep while they have been gone.

I have also been told that I will not go to the underworld if I buy a cake for the first birthday party on Hawke's birthday. I am being very gracious and giving Hawke his wish to have a small party where his father is with us. I am doing a small gathering of cake and ice cream.

So you guys, am I being the worst mom or should I enjoy the remaining time I have left without them guilt free?

I think you are a fantastic mom. Just the fact that you are having a small party with his dad there to please Hawke puts you right up there at the top. I has to be hard to raise 4 boys on your own. You should not feel guilty about a thing!!

I'm on the Criteria Qualification Committee (CQC for short:D), along with Sarah, and your entry has been denied, for failing to meet the WMA standards by a long shot. Our sincere apologies!:D

Kidding aside - one time I was out at a bachelorette party (not mine). Some of the other women had kids, and were showing pics of their kids. Someone asked me to show pics of mine. I had none.:eek: You should've seen the looks I got.
Oddly enough, I still don't carry pics of my family around.:rolleyes:

Obviously, the failure on both our parts to meet this (carrying around family pics) basic test of good motherhood is what landed us on the WMA qualifications committee in the first place. And I thought I was the only one:o
