Super Mom

***Another post from the Draft archives


Awhile back I wrote a post about Kent, Super Dad.

Today, I'm thankful for all you Super Moms out there.

Maybe you served homemade organic meals for your family every night of the week.

Maybe you didn't shoot a death glare in the direction of some roughousing 13 year old boys at the pool who completely closelined your daughter and didn't stop to apologize.

Maybe you provided ice cream sundaes for the enitre block.

Maybe you didn't lose it when your son begged you to go to the donut shop for breakfast, and against your better nutritional beliefs you went. And maybe you still held it together as you pulled into the donut shop and he quick changed his mind and decided he actually would only be eating at Village Inn that day.

Maybe you finished your Christmas shopping by Halloween and handmade gifts for neighbors, teachers and friends.

Maybe you kept it to yourself when your helpful husband who threw a load of laundry in, then put your Hand Wash Only swimsuit in the dryer and completely ruined it.

Maybe you didn't lose your patience when it was tested to the limits.

Or maybe you did. And maybe you did shoot that 13 year old kid and his buddies a whole round of death glares. Maybe you didn't go anywhere at all- maybe you just stayed in and read books and watched movies with your kids all week. Maybe you ate fast food and ordered pizza all week instead of cooking.

You're still super. Whether you do any of that, or none of that, you're a Super Mom.  And don't forget it!
