I felt guilty on the opposite spectrum. We recently moved from Indianapolis to Green Bay and prior to our move I was involved in EVERYTHING w/ my kids school. My dream of seeing my patented product through was put on the back burner. You know, the putting yourself last syndrome. Anyway, even though moving was the last thing I wanted to do, I kept thinking of how finally I can work on this 3 year dream of mine so ulitmately I looked forward to the move and how I would work 'less' at their school and 'more' on my dreams. The guilt came in though when the kids came home from school one day asking "what I did all day" and even though they've known about my patented idea, I think that I set them up to believe that all that I could do or be was the mom that helped out a school. It was one of those things that was moment of realization for me that said, it's ok to work on this.... Tamara-
