Super Mom

Lately I have had zero time to myself and therefore unable to write.  Its 251am and I just had to do this!  Laying in bed I was thinking how so many people that I run into these days call me Super Mom.  What does that really mean?

The moment someone says that to me, I get images of me walking around in my house with baby throw up on my clothes, play dough all stuck in my hair, my white socks looking brown due to unmopped wood floors, or my upper lip which needs to be threaded very soon!  How do I convince people that me staying at home with the girls is the hardest thing, especially when my husband takes off to Vegas for 4 days for a "all guy" trip!  I am no Super Mom.  I am a woman who has realized that this is my life..these are my kids and I will always have a smile on my face no matter how bad it gets, because I am BLESSED!

We as moms tend to put so much pressure on ourselves to be that "Super Mom".  I think they should make a documentary called "Super Mom" and bring cameras into the lives of both working and stay at home moms.  I speak for myself when I note how my husband notices the end result of everything I do.  So he walks in the bathroom and notice that I bought the hair gel, mousse, contact solutions and q-tips.  The fact that food is on the counter and everything is freshly made.  The fact that all three girls are smelling good and have the cleanest clothes on their body.  These things do not magically appear.  I do them!  I started out by saying how there is no such thing as super mom and now I am convincing myself that there is a Super Woman in every household.

How about I just take a compliment of being a Super Mom.  Next time instead of responding with anything.  I am just going to say THANK YOU.  I am a Super Mom.
