Every Good Mom is a Super Mom

Being a Mom is the hardest, most rewarding job I've ever had. Yes, I call it a job. It is. I take it very seriously and make efforts every day to be the best Mom (and being) I can be.

Reality; some times I suck at it. I lose my temper, have no patience, zone out instead of tuning in to my kid, wish for a few hours all by myself. You know why? Because I'm human and I'm not perfect!

I know so many women who want to portray to everyone else that they have it all together. I get it. Sometimes it's hard to admit that you don't always have your crap together or know exactly what you're doing.

I'm going out on a limb here when I say this, but I think I'm pretty right on. Every single Mother is overwhelmed at times, especially when their children are very young. Guess what? It's completely normal!

Being a Super Mom doesn't mean you have to run around pretending every thing is perfect. Us other Mom's, yeah, we know better anyway. Being a Super Mom means doing your best every day. It's totally ok to admit when you're overwhelmed! I guarantee your friends are in the same boat. As a matter of fact, they would probably be relieved to hear you're going through similar things in your life.

Seriously. Parenting is hard work. I second guess myself, wonder if I'm doing things "right", feel awful when I lose my patience and often am in awe that I'm really a Mom.

On the flip side, I have days when I absolutely excel and do things just right. I read extra books, am patient beyond measure and craft with Landon like Martha Stewart. Those days are important and feel really good. I am grateful for my little blessing and cherish my time with him.
