What does a
30something wife do on a Monday? Well, she goes to work, offers
to help those around her, cleans up messes left by others, and offers a
ride home to a co-worker in need. Then, she drives home to help
with homework, sew an arm back on Raggedy Ann (which the dog nearly
tore off) to make a little girl smile, and get the evening shower
ritual started.
Nope, a head cold doesn't
stop her. No sir. She will breath through her mouth, blow
her nose, and cough occassionally. She'll watch the Golden Globe
awards while her husband snores beside her. She will think of
things that must be taken care of tomorrow.
She will post to her journal, making herself sound like Super Mom. She's not Super Mom. She's not even close.
She grumbles under her
breath about cleaning up the messes of others at work. She gets
frustrated helping with homework. She doesn't like to sew
(especially doll arms,) and is upset when a child's shower lasts 20
minutes. She is secretly angry at her son and husband for sharing
their cold, and is too far behind the times to recognize most of the
movies nominated for Golden Globes.
Nope. Super Mom doesn't
live here. Just me. I try my best and still fall short, but
my family accepts me as I am, and I'm thankful for that.

Super-mom doesn't mention her dear old mom? I'm HURT!
Well, you WERE super mom. Home cooked meals and hot breakfast. You didn't fit into this entry, which shows another type of mother. Sorry Mosie, you're too good for this entry.
Chap-Stick on those lips, missy! Breathing thru your mouth is gonna give you some wicked chapped lips!
Feel better soon!!

Well, super mom is not measure like superman......not how much you do, or even how strong you are.....it's how much you try that counts! :) - Barbara
You can't help being selfless and "super". You were raised by the most amazing mom EVER. Hope that cold clears up soon. I love ya, sweetie!

You ARE super mom. Doing all of the things you did, even though you didn't feel like doing them....that is the essence of a super mom! ;o)
Sounds like a great mom!
