Guilt
Looking at the list of emotions and examining each one closely, I’ve come across the word guilty. This emotion is something I feel I struggle with every day. Being a mom of 3 beautiful girls, who are growing like weeds before my eyes while I work a fulltime job and attend school, causes me to sit in bed every night trying to figure out how I can do better tomorrow. The thoughts race through my head of what tomorrow can bring, the actions I need to take and how today is gone, but with tomorrow comes hope to make a change.

This doesn’t mean I can’t transform the manner in which I fight or the fact that I probably will never stop feeling guilty at the end of the day. However, I know I can do a better job at staying calm during the battles. I can decide which battles to fight with them more wisely, I can be more tactful. I can educate my girls how to fight battles respectfully. I can fight for my girls in a way that doesn’t continue influencing our relationship as mother and daughter in a negative way. I can continue to encourage them and show them the possibilities are endless, that hard work and dedication produces success and that as women they can do
