Every year right before Thanksgiving, our ward primary (3-12 year old group at church) does "cheer baskets." Every kid brings 5 individual items to share and they basket them up and take them to the older people in around town.
Last year I sent my boys with baggies of leftover Halloween candy.
I have an excuse. We had returned from my mom's funeral just a few days before cheer basket day and I was just plain overwhelmed.
But a year later, I am feeling pretty danged guilty. You know, being the working mom who sends her kids to the activity with non-homemade goodies.
So I made up for it by staying up until midnight Wednesday making cinnamon rolls.
Yes, you read that right: midnight.
This was after I had rushed home from work to make a cake to take to the school Veteran's Day program. This was after the program.
Did anyone but me care that G had homemade cinnamon rolls for the baskets? Probably not, but my guilt is lessened.
I can't be the only mom who has the working mom guilt....
