I took today off for "me time" and I'm feeling guilty.....

I've got so many things that I wanted to accomplish on my days off (today and tomorrow and last Monday and the previous Friday), but the time is going by too fast and I know I won't get some things done that I wanted to get done (like starting to redecorate our bedroom). It's very rarely that I take "me time" and I have found that I don't know what to do with myself and I feel that what I have done doesn't show much. I just keep beating myself up for not being more busy on my day off. (nobody else is making me feel guilty....just myself....my husband told me to enjoy the day. Just thought I'd tell you before anyone thinks he or anyone else is making me feel guilty.) I did some yard work and gave our dogs a bath, I'm cooking dinner, I've baked dessert, I'm almost done with the laundry and am getting ready to vaccum (sp?). Does anyone else feel like this when they take a day off? I want to get back into drawing and crafting but I keep telling myself I have too many other things to do. How can I overcome this and feel good about taking a day off and taking a day to myself? I also feel like I'm being selfish if I have a day off and don't invite my mom to go to lunch or do something. So, tomorrow we are going shopping for a little while. I love my mom but for some reason I feel a little nervous when I am around her sometimes or even think about inviting her to do something. Isn't that terrible? Why? I love her...I shouldn't feel that way. I just feel overwhelmed and don't know how to handle even the simplest thing like a day off. Arrrrgggghhhh!!!!! Does anyone else have this problem?
