sleep without guilt

I can't count how many nights it has been since I was able to sleep through the night. With kids not feeling good, somehow Mom is required to be awake when they are. (Which I really do feel is my duty, and I really do feel bad for them.) So, today both kids are back to school, at least for now, and I am thinking a nap this afternoon sounds really good, but....
every time I think about that nap, I think about the scores of things that need to be done around here, and how much easier it is to get them done when I am alone.
So, I will let you know later, did I let the guilt keep me from my nap?

UPDATE: Okay, I tried! I slept for about 10 minutes, then the phone woke me, and I couldn't get back to sleep. But, boy, did I enjoy those 10 minutes!

Why is it that we feel so guilty as moms about taking some time TO ourselves and taking care OF ourselves??!!
