I know the areas in my life that I excel, none of them being "perfect". I am a pretty good cook. I plan awesome weekends with my family. I volunteer. I am the gatherer of people. I can make you laugh. I'm a great friend. And the list could go on.....but let me tell you something about myself.....I'M A HOT MESS!
What you might not know about me is:
- I do laundry weekly, but it doesn't get put away until I need the laundry basket for the next weeks laundry.
- I don't actually put my clothes away...they sit on my dresser. In a nice flat pile...organization is key right?
- I swear
- I hide snacks for myself
- I put myself together, then when my day is done (that is when I am done running around), I put my "fat pants" on and watch T.V.
- I workout, but I hate running and will never do a marathon
- The only yoga my pants see is the kind where I look like one of those blow up dancing things you see at car dealerships (it's not cute, it's crazy)
- I'm not a size 4
- I don't have a "to die for" wardrobe
- My house isn't always as clean as it looks
- I hate negativity
- My schedule is as crazy as I am
- I have a love hate relationship with Pinterest
- I let my kids eat fast food
- I probably let my kids eat too much pizza and french fries
- I can't sew (I can fix a hole, that's about it)
- I wish I had more alone time with my husband
- I wake up at 730 not "o'dark thirty"
And this list too can go on and on.................
I have friends who worry that they are the only ones who aren't a Super Mom.
No one is a Super Mom!
Not me, not you, not her, not anyone.
I don't believe that Super Moms exists. I believe being a Super Mom is learning to accept that we are imperfect. I make mistakes, and I own them. I want my image of the Super Mom to be that of a Mom who ignores dishes to play with her kids, who accepts her own flaws and still tries to be the best wife and Mom she can be.
