Super Woman

 So I'd like to share one of my dreams and life goal.

As I am sure there are lots of women out there who share this dream and goal that I have.

When I was married I dreamt of being a superwife. When I became pregnant, a supermom. 

Now my dream is to one day become superwoman.

Everyday I try to do everything that I can.

I have to rescue a crying toddler from whatever disaster she is in.

Whether it's that she can't turn her wagon and is stuck. 

Or she can't change the diaper on her doll, can't reach the book she is looking for, or daddy just won't give her what she wants.

I have to be there.

At the same time I have to fix a bottle to a hungry baby before he becomes overly hungry.

Change their diapers. Bathe them. Make sure they are groomed well.

Might I add I have to be cooking one delicious meal. I guess 3 a day really, at least.

While trying to make sure all the laundry is done.

While making sure the bills are paid and we haven't spent more than we can.

Not to mention that the house HAS to be nice & neat, clean, and organized.

You know because we have soooo many people that come over. Kidding.

While trying to finish my schooling and making phone calls everyday to set up appointments.

All while wondering if I will ever get a bathroom break without a toddler knocking at my door crying hysterically, (even if her dad is home) or even standing in front of me watching me.

But most importantly trying to make memories and capture each of them with my children.

Oh and did I mention I have to do all of this plus make sure I beautify myself before my husband comes home from work that way he can come home and just relax and do as he pleases.

You like my drawing?

The truth is...

I am not superwoman.

I can't always do everything.

I can't always make a screaming toddler happy.

I can't always get to a hungry baby on time, or a dirty diaper.

I can't cook delicious meals. No really...I'm not a great cook.

But I can order. Just kidding. I make what I can and I will be lucky enough to get away without having to share my meal with a toddler.

(As I type this she steals my last bite of PB&J)

But I love it. 

A dirty shirt always tends to appear as soon as the hampers are empty and the clothes clean.

My house will never be clean for than a few minutes.

I may not get a break right now without a toddler following me but she won't always be this little.

School can wait.

Memories are much more important.

But this would all be more stressful if I didn't have my husband.

The reality is that we split all the things that need to be done. 

Our hair isn't always neat.

My husband comes home to me and gives me my kiss and hugs

Even if I am wearing PJs and his shirts.

If he is lucky I may have already brushed my teeth. lol.

My hair may look like when I woke up.

But I honestly say that I wouldn't change any of this for that dream.

Reality is much more fun.
