Superflymom


Who is that amazingly capable woman? It's Superflymom!
Batman and Superman have nothing on us moms. We have amazing superpowers and we don't even need silly capes or leotards to unleash those powers. Perhaps your special power is your Momsonic Hearing, which means you know which kid is coming down the hall based on their pace and stomp intensity. Or, perhaps your superpower involves the ability to translate the seeming gibberish of a toddler into coherent thoughts and phrases. Maybe you can catch poop with a single hand or use your inhuman strength to carry a baby and several bags of groceries into the house in a single load. As moms, we often beat ourselves up for all of the things we can't do or didn't get done. Instead, let's take a moment and boast about the amazing things we can do, like taking 3-4 kids and a dog for a walk around the block and living to tell about it. Like, managing your day so, that you’re able to get in a little time for yourself(which is usually bathroom time with the door actually closed & no kids lurking around), run errands, get kids from point a-z in a timely manner, clean the house, lunch with the hubby, work in some fun time for the kiddies, throw in some volunteer time, help with homework & studies, cook dinner & have it at the dinner table, and snuggle time with the kiddies & hubby. And, all of this with a great level of patience (that's our strongest superpower-patience). See….Superflymom for sure and all of this without a magic wand but instead very capable hands and simply because you are AWESOME! Now with your list, there are many things that may not have been accomplished.  But hey, that’s because we as moms usually focus on the most important anyway and something will always be knocked off the list but, the great thing is that there's always tomorrow for that other stuff.
