Every mom...

...IS A SUPERMOM!

A few weeks ago, I {finally} let my husband check out my blog. I really respect his opinion, so I had been sort of {but not really} hiding my blog from him. I just hadn’t shared my blog with him, mainly because I thought he might think it was silly or a waste of time {So, this is why the dishes aren’t done!}.

When I finally showed it to him, I anxiously waited for his response.

All he said was “You think you are a supermom?”.

Now, I don’t think he meant for it to sound rude {at least I hope he didn’t, though he does really know me and all my faults and flaws}. But it did make me think.

Is it a little pretentious of me to call myself a SUPERMOM? I don’t mean for it to come off that way, but I guess some people could take it that way….

The thing is, I don’t think I am the one and only SUPERMOM. Actually I think there are a ton of SUPERMOMS out there. There are probably more than I could ever imagine, and blogging has helped me discover a bunch of really fantastic SUPERMOMS who are also wives, sister, and friends.

The day after I showed Jason my blog, I got a parenting magazine in the mail.

The front cover said:
“it’s a bird, it’s
a plane, it’s…you!!
why every
mom is a
superhero”

I thought “WOW! This is just what I need!” An article that tells me why every mom {including me} is a SUPERMOM! And guess what the title of the article is….”I AM SUPERMOM”

That’s right.

Paula Spencer {the SUPERMOM who wrote the article} apparently thinks very much like me, because she thinks that mothering is what gives us these wonderful superpowers that make all us mothers: SUPERMOMS.

The article talks about the five heroic traits you didn’t know you had-until you had a child.

SUPER COURAGE
SUPER FEROCITY
SUPER STRENGTH
SUPER PRESENCE OF MIND
SUPERSTRONG STOMACH

This was great reminder that I am not at all being pretentious when I call myself a SUPERMOM, because we are all SUPERMOMS!!

The only editing that I did to this picture was to crop the sides a little and make the face more centered in the photo.

Not Me! Monday

Welcome to Not Me! Monday!
This blog carnival was created by Mckmama at My Charming Kids!
Go check out her blog and see what everyone else has NOT been doing this week!

I have NOT been in major pain because of my wrists this week. I have NOT had to keep one and sometimes both of them wrapped up everyday this week.

I did NOT wear a long sleeve shirt to the Heart Walk on Saturday even though it was going to be close to 70 degrees outside. I did NOT do this because I didn’t want people looking at the lovely bandage that I had to wrap on my aching wrist. I was NOT sweating after walking at least 3 miles in my long sleeve shirt.

I did NOT fall asleep on the couch before 9 pm almost every night this week. I have a ton of energy {and a ton of stuff to do} and would never fall asleep that early.

My house is NOT a total wreck this morning, because I have NOT been lazy and just let the junk pile up over the weekend. I always keep a spotless house and always put things away as soon as I am finished with them. My kids do NOT make huge messes and then leave them out either! {I thought about posting a picture of the mess, but I would be way too embarrassed to show you how really messy my house is right now!!!}

I am NOT both loving and very frustrated with my new camera at the same time. The camera does NOT take wonderful pictures in AUTO mode. It is NOT going to take forever for me to learn how to really use the camera and all of its fancy modes


Have a GREAT week and don’t forget to go check out My Charming Kids for more Not Me! Monday!!.
