Mommy Guilt

So I suffer from something called Mommy Guilt.  It's awful.  I think especically being a single Mom, it makes me want to be there for her 24-7.  I haven't had some Mommy time over a month and as I was trying to leave last night my baby said, "Mommy stay".  That was the first time she actually said those words, before she would just get upset.  I felt conflicted because I knew that getting out the house would relax me and in turn make me a better mom.  But then, I didn't want to leave my baby!  It's hard finding a balance between wanting to spend every moment with your child and taking precious time to find time for yourself.  Well, I'll keep working on it.
