Capes..

Let's just get one thing straight.  I have no cape.  I definetly don't have the cool Wonder Woman type of underwear and I think it's pretty fair to say that Wonder Woman didn't run around in a long nightgown with sweatpants on underneath it, fuzzy unmatching socks and a houserobe while her hair is a mess in the morning trying to get liquid life flowing so she could function.  Nope.  I'm pretty sure that the last time I checked, I'm just your everyday mom. 

This is my life.  I take everything I can, one step at a time as long as time allows.  Full-time college life while being a "supermom" to 2 active little toddlers and a pretty child-like husband at times (more good meaning behind that then bad) has its ups and downs.  Need to get those last few math homework problems done??  Que baby crying AS SOON as your mind starts to comprehend what you are attempting to learn, which then starts a downward spiral of putting things into prospective.  Attempts to ignore the crying in hopes of it being a fluke have rendured futile. 

Need just an extra 20 minutes of study time for that big unit test??  Que falling asleep at the kitchen table because you've been up all night, off and on, because that crying baby has a 102 fever. And you know the cool thing??  You learn to DEAL with it.  You learn to manage your time, complete what you need to, and you do it in a timely fashion.  You know why?  Because those mentioned above are your SOLE reason for doing what you're doing.  To make their future's better, so that they have a better life and understanding of things so that as they grow up, they learn to better prepare themselves to NOT feel the pressure of life and society and know that its OK to just BE themselves on so many different levels. 

If this is the reason so many have viewed me as or called me a "supermom" then I have just one thing left to say to them.  The last time I checked, that was called being a GOOD mom.  So keep your cape.  I don't need it.  Knowing I'm a GOOD mom, is super enough for me.
