Super Mom would not let her son hang out in the same sleeper outfit for 2 days in a row. Even if they were covered in green beans.
She would have more room in her shopping cart so that her baby wasn't laying in his car seat with a value size pack of toilet paper sitting on his stomach.
She wouldn't realize at 10:00 am that her daughter had been watching Mickey Mouse for 2 hours straight.
She wouldn't take the kids out to play without watching the weather report. Super Mom would always know in advance that it was going to be 10 degrees and snowing before taking the kids to a park.
She would never take the kids to a mall by herself late one night and then lose her keys. Super Mom wouldn't dream of letting her baby cry in the parking lot while her daughter banged on the car door and yelled, "LET ME IN!" while she looked for her keys for 15 minutes.
Super Mom wouldn't let her baby cry for three days and be annoyed at him for being so fussy before it occurred to her that he might be sick. Super Mom never would have let a double ear infection go unnoticed.
Super Mom would never stare at her train wreck of a house and tell her not quite 2 year old daughter, "Mommy is going to teach you how to vacuum."
Clearly, I'm not Super Mom.

Oh please. If you're not, then nobody is. We've all done this stuff. In fact, I can't think of a day recently that my boys HAVEN'T watched TV waaaaaay longer than recommended for youngsters. You gotta let something slide. :)
So agreed, Court. Sliding is an every day occurrence around here.
Well then, I am sliding right there with the rest of you!!
Okay, THAT makes every mom feel normal!!!!!!!!! I love that post. I actually love all your posts and have not checked blogs since my last post several weeks ago and I have a blast reading yours...I esp. love Bennett's Valentines Day. That could not have been any cuter! where were you when I was 3, or even 15? I didn't get a good Valentine date until I was 21. But I guess he was worth the wait...
i agree w/ courtney, we've all done those things. i let addie cry on and off all morning only to find she had a terrible diaper rash bc she was poopy. talk about feeling bad! never smelled a thing...and i'm pregnant! tv...dont get me started! thank goodness for pbs! :) you are such an amazing mom! and so REAL! hang in there friend! many hugs!
Loved this. You're OK in my book!
I have done almost every single one of those, except the snow at the park. I did lock my keys in the car with my baby once. I was trying to be nice and let the man next to me back out of his parking spot, but forgot that I'd tossed my keys next to the infant seat and shut the door with a huge smile thinking I was being so nice! The man stopped after backing out, realized I looked troubled and then parked again so I could use his cell phone to call my husband. Go Super Moms!!
you are an amazing woman, mother, and wife!!! don't you know that slip and slides are FUN!!! it is a permanetnt "fixture" in my house... as for the mess this is what I tell myself and anybody who complains- these days are few- i would rather spend it with my kids making memories!! as long as the kitchen and bathroom are clean i am good!
