Before I began let me say that I am not jealous nor have I ever been jealous of the “Supers”. If I had had no children and never married I could’ve flew around the world in my leotard and cape fighting bad guys and saving the world form all kinds of disasters. I swear I would have. My excuse… hmmm…… ok here’s a good one. I didn’t know where to get my outfit made.
But on a serious note, in a make believe world I could’ve done just that. In reality I was chosen to be a member of the most important team of people in this universe….Motherhood. I was appointed to this position by God who saw fit to bless me with a healthy uterus, strong bones and the mental capacity to endure labor and delivery. My longest labor and delivery time to date is 48 hours. Something I could have only done with the almighty standing beside me coaching me on.
Some might say that we Mother’s got the short end of the stick. We mother’s get the lowest paid wages, zero retirement fund, an abundance of headaches, body aches, sleepless nights and elbow pokes. We take the blame for …everything! Runny noses in public, pants too long, pants too short, pants sagging…and so on. I’m sure you know what I’m talking about. And cuudos to those who will try to pump up the rewards bit by saying that we get the rewards of seeing our beautiful children grow up to be productive adults..I really appreciate you for your positive attitude. But I can't take my kids straight A's into the department store and purchase a new outfit. I've just learned to face the music and accept the reality that in this society the people who get paid to walk around with the "S" on their chest are more valuable financially than the people who are actually out here doing the "super" work.
On a lighter note...I love being a Mother and all that comes with it. In my opinion I can bake better than Betty Crocker, design better than Martha Stewart and be the biggest form of peer pressure there is. I take being a Mother very seriously and I wear my Mother title with pride.
So here I am...Mother, Teacher, Chauffer, Coach, Agent, and Drill Sergeant all rolled into one.
