Hi Caligirl,

I am so sorry for your loss. I think most of us have some sort of guilt at one time or another. I know I do. There are just so many hours in the day and when you work full time there are just not many hours left to do what we enjoy most.

I think your ideas are good ones. Cut back a bit on cycling and spend a little more time with your furry little ones. I have to admit I envy all your threads of all the rides you do with your husband. With my husbands schedule we only ride together on Thursdays when I take a vacation day. So don't give it all up, just try to restructure a little and I am sure you will feel better and make everyone happy.

You are a good mom to your pets and I am sure they know that.
