Hi, ya the guilt thing is terrible. I'm a teacher too but just work 3 days 7-4. My Hubbie is home half day one of the days, one day he comes home at lunch and one day we have a pet sitter. My teenage son lets her out by 2:45 alot of days. I have to discipline myself to walk her when I get home, it's easier now with the light. It is so tiring for sure and hard to adjust to the change. I'll be home with Lola all summer all day and then have to readjust in the fall too. Now that she is 6 months and acting like a teenager, it's really been hard. We are all just doing our best, you still have a good many evening hours to play, once you adjust to your new schedule. It takes awhile to get used to that kind of change! Be patient with yourself.:
