Sick and Feeling Guilty

Well the spring sickies have found me. Sore throat, stuffy nose, no energy. I get one every year. I know it will be short lived, but that brings me to the guilty part. Every since I started staying home to work, I have a guilt complex. I know that between doing the farm books, keeping the house clean, and chasing a 2.5 year old I keep plenty busy....But for some reason I feel the need to defend what I have been doing all day to people, my husband, father in law etc. I know that they don't expect me to be running like a chicken with my head cut off 24 hours a day, but at the same time I feel almost guilty if I sit and read, or watch a tv show, or check my facebook page. Why is that? I never used to have guilt about anything for any reason. I always considered it a character plus to not care, but now it has intruded into my life, and I don't think I like it.

So the not caring, and the caring part of my brains wage war...On the plus side, I do get alot done out of guilt, but on the negative side, I feel a little cranky at my family cause they all get to come home after work/school and relax and I am still working! I know I will eventually come to some sort of level where I feel comfortable with sitting once in a while and still getting alot done.
