Super Hero Alert!

Ssshh.....

I've discovered a secret. A very special, very intense secret that dawned on me July 14th, 2008 and has continued to prove itself to me over and over ever since.

Moms are Super heroes.

It's true! Think about it.

There's no other explanation for how Moms can:

1. Contort their bodies while driving a car to hold a pacifier in their baby's mouth during a 35 minute ride home.

2. Manage to do/perform/get/take/bring everything their baby needs to them 24/7 while running on zero sleep and even less energy.

3. Make bottles in the middle of the night with their eyes closed, yet still measure just the right amount of formula.

4. Make their babies smile when no one else can.

5. Put their own needs on hold for hours or longer while taking care of their baby. After 9 months of bladder abuse, we can still somehow manage to hold it while in the middle of Baby's snacktime.

6. Show amazing amounts of patience and understanding and compassion while the non-super-hero part of us wants to bang our heads against the wall until we knock ourselves unconscious and finally get some sleep.

7. Suddenly become ambidextrous. A mom who has been right handed for 24 years can suddenly eat and perform other tasks easily with her left hand.

8. Multi-task like nobody's business. Moms can carry a fussy baby on their hip and still cook dinner, do a load of laundry, make a bed, straighten up the house, and type at a computer.

9. Manage to stretch a onesie with a ridiculously small neck hole over Baby's head. Proportionally, its impossible. But not for Super Mom!

And most importantly, only a Super hero Mom could:

So cheers to you, fellow Moms. Cheers for your sore necks, achy backs, red-rimmed eyes, and hearts of gold. God bless you today!!
